From 15,000+ Kedarnath Journeys to a Bigger Vision

One of the key milestones highlighted in the ANI feature is 15,000+ Kedarnath Yatra bookings.

For us, this number represents much more than business growth.

It represents:

• Thousands of travellers
• Thousands of families
• Thousands of journeys
• Thousands of moments of faith
• Thousands of memories created in the Himalayas

Kedarnath has played an important role in the growth story of ThrillHikers.

But it is only one chapter.

Our vision extends far beyond a single destination.

The Story Behind ThrillHikers

ThrillHikers was founded with a simple belief:

Travel should be about experiences, not just bookings.

A traveller should not have to think only about hotels, transportation and sightseeing.

They should be able to think about the experience they want to create.

A family may want comfort.

A couple may want a private escape.

A group of friends may want adventure.

A solo traveller may want to meet new people.

A pilgrim may want a meaningful and well-coordinated journey.

The destination may be the same, but every traveller's experience can be different.

From Pilgrimage to Experiential Travel

The ANI feature highlights how ThrillHikers is expanding beyond pilgrimage travel into a broader experiential travel business.

Our travel portfolio includes:

• Adventure Trips
• Group Tours
• Customised Holidays
• Pilgrimage Journeys
• Family Vacations
• Corporate Travel
• International Holidays
• Luxury Travel Experiences

The objective is simple:

Build journeys around travellers instead of forcing travellers into standardised journeys.

Why Being Featured on ANI Matters

For a growing travel brand, media recognition is an important milestone.

ANI is one of India's major news agencies, and its content is widely distributed across news platforms.

Being featured in an ANI story gives us an opportunity to share the ThrillHikers journey with a much wider audience.

But more importantly, it gives our team another reason to pause and appreciate how far we have travelled.

Every milestone reminds us where we started and motivates us to think bigger about where we are going.

The Founder Behind the Journey

The ANI feature focuses on the journey of Abhishek Jindal, Founder of ThrillHikers Travel, and his vision of building a modern travel brand.

The journey has involved understanding travellers, experimenting with destinations, building travel operations and continuously improving the experience offered to customers.

The vision is not simply to create another travel company.

It is to build a travel brand people remember when they think about their next journey.

Travel Is Becoming More Personal

Travellers today have more choices than ever.

A few searches can produce hundreds of hotels, multiple itineraries, flight options and countless travel recommendations.

But more choices can also create confusion.

Which trip is actually right for me?

This is where personalisation becomes important.

ThrillHikers focuses on understanding factors such as:

• Budget
• Comfort
• Interests
• Travel style
• Trip duration
• Group size
• Purpose of travel

The goal is to create a journey that makes sense for the individual traveller.

Technology and the Future of Travel

Technology has changed how people discover and book travel.

But travel remains a human experience.

At ThrillHikers, we believe technology should make travel faster, easier and more organised, while human support continues to remain an important part of the journey.

From enquiry management to trip planning and customer communication, technology can help the team respond more efficiently.

But ultimately, travellers still want to speak to someone who understands their journey.

Technology can improve the process. People create the experience.

From a Booking to a Memory

One of the biggest ideas behind ThrillHikers is that a booking is not the final product.

The journey is.

A traveller may forget the exact hotel room.

They may forget the vehicle number.

They may even forget the exact itinerary.

But they remember:

The mountain view.

The first sight of Kedarnath.

The road trip with friends.

The family dinner.

The unexpected adventure.

The people they met along the way.

These are the moments that turn travel into a story.

Building India's Next Travel Brand

The ANI feature describes the broader ambition behind ThrillHikers — building the company into India's next travel brand.

For us, that ambition means creating a brand that can be part of different types of journeys.

A Himalayan adventure.

A spiritual pilgrimage.

A family holiday.

A group departure.

A luxury escape.

An international vacation.

Different journeys. One travel philosophy.

What Comes Next?

Being featured on ANI is a milestone.

But it is not the destination.

There are still thousands of journeys to plan.

More destinations to explore.

More travellers to meet.

More experiences to create.

And a much bigger travel community to build.

The next chapter of ThrillHikers will focus on continuing to improve our travel experiences while expanding our presence across India and international destinations.
