Decade of GOTG

A decade ago, on August 29, 2008, a group of 25 women set out on an epic high altitude journey from Ladakh - Manali, one of the most adventurous routes in the world. Travelling with a group of absolute strangers and that too with a newborn travel group that had zero experience managing trips, leave alone high altitude trips was beyond insane. There were teething troubles no doubt. But, the faith and encouragement from this group of ladies to carry on despite the odds turned this experimental trip to help women to travel into a full fledged community of women travellers.

Leading these spirited women was founder of GOTG Piya Bose. She had just quit her high paying job, but uninspiring job at a high paying law firm and had taken off on an impromptu trip from Lucknow - Nepal - Tibet. When she returned back home, she was filled with inspiration and the itch to help women travel, but was absolutely broke having spent all her savings while travelling. Despite several challenges, she started GOTG at the age of 25 years on a Zero Cash business model only using free will, imagination and lots of determination. Her TEDx talk on journey on how she started GOTG has been featured by Forbes as one of top 9 TEDx talks on travel globally :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKZ_JHRM3QU. For her decade long work helping women travel and innovating new travel trends, Piya has been awarded by PCTE University as Tourism Entreprenneur of the Year, by Women Economic Forum as Woman of Excellence and by UK based forum We Are The City amongst Top 50 Women Rising Stars.

Since 2008, GOTG has taken women expedition cruising to Antarctica, photographing Northern Lights at the Arctic Circle, exploring volcanoes at Reunion Island and Santorini, hiking down a meteorite crater in Lonar, trekking up to the Everest Base Camp, staying with the erstwhile head hunters of Nagaland, camping with nomads in Mongolia etc.

GOTG has also helped women using wheelchairs dive under water and helped women as old as 90 years travel to the Arctic Circle in winter to see the Northern Lights. We have also helped women travel absolutely solo to remote places like Arunachal. In the world of GOTG, age is just a number and the only barriers that exist are in the mind.

We have been featured by Conde Naste Traveller amongst Top 15 Travel Companies shaking up the travel scene in India, in a book by Penguin Publications titled You Can Make Your Dreams Work, Lonely Planet, Vogue, Elle, Al Jazeera, Star Malaysia, Singapore Straits, Asian Entreprenneur, Times of India and most leading publications in India.

In the next stage of our journey, we hope to help women from lower socio economic backgrounds travel and experience perspective shifts, so that they can become powerful change makers in their communities.

One of our biggest achievements has been to bring about a perspective shift in how men view women travelling. Earlier we received requests from our clients to speak to their husbands and fathers and convince them to let them travel :) But, today several of our callers are men who wish to send their women family members and friends travel. In fact, a man recently wanted to gift a GOTG trip instead of a diamong ring to his fiance!

GOTG was born from the spirit of innovation and to challenge limits. It is not just another travel business. It is much more. It is home away from home wherever in the world you wish to go. It is a vibrant community of free spirited women who are curious, compassionate, observant and want to make the world a better place to live in.

In an age of increasing existential threats like climate change, cultural intolerance etc, women travellers with evolved world views having interacted with new cultures and geographies will be major transformers in their families, work places and local communities. In sync with our new mission to help women Travel - Evolve - Transform, GOTG hopes to be your travel partner to help you experience new places in a safe and fun manner.
