Wanderkin is designed by three people who wanted something they could not find.
A mountain trip that took our children seriously.
Between a hotel that ignored the child and a camp that pushed too hard.
We had been on family trips that treated our kids as inconvenience. We had looked at adventure programmes that assumed nine-year-old fitness in five-year-olds. We had spent evenings on holidays finding a way to occupy children who had been left with nothing designed for them.
Wanderkin came from that gap. Three or four days in a specific valley, an itinerary that puts the child at the centre without pushing them, a local guide who lives there, one small making session every evening so the day comes home in the child's hands.
Deepak

Shilpa
Runs Wanderkin as a brand. Design, community, and the parent voice inside every decision. First point of contact for every family that books.
Swapnil
Designs the trips. Finds the valleys. Writes the field notes each leader takes into the trip.
Things we will not do.
We do not run large groups. Two families is the ceiling, not the floor.
We do not fill a day for the sake of filling it.
We do not put a screen between the child and the mountain. No tablets on the trip.
