Limited windows. Direct rates. Each itinerary planned by Salini and team, not by an algorithm.
Not every honeymoon becomes a memory.
Some become a love story.
Women-led · Est. 2008 · Bengaluru
Seventeen years of designing slow, meaningful travel — for women, families, senior citizens and quiet explorers. No fixed itineraries. Just the trip that fits you.
01 · Discover by feeling
We start with how you want to feel — slow, brave, held, curious — and design the journey backwards. Pick a mood to begin.
02 · The Prayana promise
We're a small team of women who've spent seventeen years answering the same question: how can this trip feel less like a transaction, more like care?
Every itinerary is built by a woman planner who's likely walked the route herself. We notice the small things — clean restrooms, late-night arrivals, the gentle pace a grandmother needs.
Tested. Refined. We rarely send anyone somewhere we haven't been.
One planner from first call to homecoming — no handoffs, no scripts.
Stays we've stayed in. Guides we've sat with. Drivers we trust to drive our mothers.
A real person on the other side of every message — through every leg of your trip.
Women-only departures have female guides, all-female room sharing, and a verified safety contact in every city. For senior-citizen tours, we include slower mornings, mid-day rest, and a medical helpline pre-loaded on your phone before you leave.
03 · Design your journey
A short conversation — not a search bar. Your answers go to a real planner who'll come back within a day with a hand-built draft itinerary, free.
We design differently for a solo traveler, a family of four, or a group of women who've just met.

05 · Stories from journeys
Drawn from our travelers' messages, photos and voice notes — published with permission.
A mother–daughter trip
Salini planned around my mother's knees, not around tourist hours. Tea at 6, a slow shikara at 9, the gardens after lunch. It felt like someone in the family had been there before us.
Women-only Nepal
I came alone for the trekking. I left with a chat full of grandmothers, an architect from Hyderabad and a doctor from Pune planning the next one. Prayana built that, somehow.
Senior citizens, Thailand
From the wheelchair at the airport to a doctor's number saved in our phones — we never had to ask. The driver in Chiang Mai still messages us on Diwali.
06 · A note from the founder
…became a journey of helping families, women and quiet explorers discover the world safely — and on their own terms. I started Prayana in 2008 because I wanted to plan the kind of trip I'd want my own mother to take.
Seventeen years on, we're still a small team. Still answering every message ourselves. Still planning each trip like it's our own.
07 · Where Prayana has traveled
Not a list of brochures — a map of journeys we've quietly walked, sometimes twice.
Ready when you are
No quotes by tomorrow. No pushy follow-ups. Just one of us, and a real conversation.
