Our Story

Why we started Troova, and what drives us to make every journey unforgettable.

Our Journey

Born from a love of exploring India

Troova started in 2016 when our founder Aditya Rao, frustrated by overpriced, impersonal tour packages, decided to plan a group trip to Spiti Valley for 12 friends. The trip was a revelation β€” and the seed of everything Troova has become.

We realized that India's most spectacular landscapes were often only accessible through expensive, rigid packages β€” or through exhausting independent planning. There was a gap for something better: expert-curated trips at honest prices, run by people who genuinely love the destinations.

Eight years later, we've taken over 5,000 travelers across the Himalayas, deserts, backwaters, and forests of India β€” and we're just getting started.
