Poonam Rawat-Hahne, Fernweh Fair Travel - Uplifting Communities

About Fernweh Fair Travel-Uplifting Communities

We are a women-led project that offers authentic travel experiences and unforgettable mountain adventure sports in the majestic Indian Himalayas. Our goal is to empower & support communities through travel that positively impacts the local economy, culture, and environment. We are looking for B2B partnerships as we aim to have only 8 trips per year to preserve the authenticity of the place and experiences.

Description:

I created my project to share these life-changing experiences with suitable travelers while positively impacting locals' lives, especially women. The project's purpose is to leave our travelers and the local communities with richer and more transformational experiences, through this intercultural exchange, among other adventures. Furthermore, travelers will get an opportunity to discover their inner selves while on this journey. From this course, I have learned how to present the whole idea much better and straightforwardly. I have been designing these trips for the last 5 years but didn’t even know there was a name for these trips! Thank you!
