ABOUT US
We are “Nature Ramblers” – a community of explorers, culture seekers, and nature lovers who believe in discovering the soul of India through authentic travel experiences. From hidden forests to ancient traditions, we curate journeys that touch hearts.
What We Do
Founded in May 2014 in Pune, Nature Ramblers is more than a travel company—it’s your gateway to the heart and soul of India. We curate offbeat journeys that weave together culture, history, heritage, and the wild, celebrating ethical tourism and championing conservation every step of the way.
Mission & Vision
At Nature Ramblers, we believe **“Bharat” is the world’s ultimate travel canvas.** Our four realms—Culture, Heritage, History, and Wildlife—are inherently intertwined. By immersing travelers in this synergy.
Our Story
Inspired by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s legacy and the evocative lectures of Padma Vibhushan Shivshahir Babasaheb Purandare, Vidyadhar set out to explore India’s Western Ghats—the mighty Sahyadris—unlocking hidden trails, ancient forts, and dense forests. Armed with camera and curiosity, he captured wildlife and landscapes—and his enthusiasm birthed Nature Ramblers.
