About BuffyFish Holidays

Adventures for Her: Hey Womenfolk, We have lined up some beginner and moderate level treks for you in the Himalayas. 3-6 months before you embark on the treks, we will prepare you in fitness, diet, meditation and breathwork, so that you can transform as an individual and as a team and then enjoy everyday when you go to the mountains, and not struggle or merely survive the day.

About Vidula

Vidula is an avid fellow traveler and till date she has visited 34 countries. Which is why she understands that girls value comfort and quality the most. Instead of visiting crowded places with commercial interests, isn’t an untouched beach or an unexplored fort a better option? Rather than having a meal at expensive gourmet restaurants, wouldn’t eating at local eateries be more delicious? But most travel portals don’t tell you about these places. After seriously considering these points, the model of Buffyfish emerged. To offer Experiential Travel to its customers.

Description:

I am a 40-year-old married woman. In India, some women stop exercising because they either take care of the kids or just don't have any interest in staying fit. They always say "I was fit when I was younger" or "I used to trek when I was younger". I've been there myself and I just lost interest in staying fit. This project is to get women to transform themselves and give them a chance to get out of their comfort zone. I want women to experience real-life, active, and outdoor adventures like trekking, cycling, and trail running by staying fit physically and mentally. We have a preparation stage where we train women in breathwork and meditation, diet, and physical fitness. This stage can begin 3-6 months before they actually embark on the adventure. The whole prep stage is actually taken upon by interested participants and the whole team prepares together. The prep stage is not mandatory but recommended by us. We have generic fitness plans that one can take up with their gym instructor or one can choose to work out in the community. Similarly, diet, meditation, and breathwork sessions can be done with our instructors or the participants can choose to do these sessions with their connections as well. We have beginner, moderate and difficult-level treks around the world that women can choose to go on. Our manifesto was designed and thought out after the course was finished. The manifesto has 3 points - 1. always respect the destination - the people, culture, and environment. 2. be environmentally sensible - choose to take public transport whenever possible, choose to recycle and reusing of things and objects, and leave the place better than you found it 3. transformation for the traveler - the preparation, the actual adventure, or the experience and reflection before, during and after the trip. There are many areas before, during and after the trek, where one can connect with oneself, with the community, with others, with nature, and with the infinite. We've also included days on the trek where, during the adventure, the participants will observe complete silence. This was an inspiration from Gordon Hempton's session on Quiet. I look forward to the feedback.
