Company info

People call me Boga. I'm a mountaineer, a vivid traveler, a photographer, a chef (not professional though), a theatre artist, and much more. I love to go on adventures and some expeditions. I've been traveling for 8 years across the length and breadth of India and some parts of Nepal through which I got to meet a lot of people. When I thought about my future, the idea of hosting people and creating a community crossed my mind. Then with the help of a few wonderful people, I was able to transform this place into what you're seeing now.
