About Us – Trekking Cougars

Welcome to Trekking Cougars, your trusted partner in discovering and booking unique accommodations in the most breathtaking offbeat locations across India. Born out of a deep love for adventure and the mountains, we’ve grown from humble beginnings as a trekking company in 2010 into a multifaceted platform that connects travelers with hidden gems of hospitality. Our journey has been fueled by a passion for exploration, a commitment to authenticity, and a vision to make travel seamless, meaningful, and unforgettable.

Today, we are proud to stand as more than just a booking platform—we are a bridge between travelers seeking extraordinary experiences and local hosts eager to share their slice of paradise. At Trekking Cougars, every stay tells a story, and every journey begins with a home away from home.

Our Story - From Treks to Transformative Travel Experiences

Trekking Cougars started as a small youth group organizing treks in the pristine landscapes of Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Kashmir, Ladakh, Sikkim, and other mountain regions of India. These early days were filled with awe-inspiring vistas, thrilling adventures, and unforgettable connections with nature. However, one challenge kept surfacing: finding and booking accommodations in these remote areas was anything but easy.

Travelers often struggled to locate well-maintained, affordable, and authentic stays, while local hosts—many of whom operated homestays or guesthouses—faced difficulties reaching their target audience. This gap inspired us to create a platform that simplifies the process of discovering and booking accommodations in offbeat locations.

Our mission is simple yet powerful: to make travel hassle-free for adventurers while supporting local communities by bringing their hospitality offerings to the forefront. Whether you’re trekking through the rugged trails of Ladakh or exploring the serene valleys of Sikkim, we ensure you have access to stays that are as unique as the destinations themselves.

Discover. Book. Explore.

Your adventure starts here at Trekking Cougars. Let us take you beyond the ordinary and into the extraordinary. Welcome to a world where every stay is a story waiting to be told.
