Our Story
The journey thus far...
The story of The Shoes goes back to 2014. It all began with an unplanned, solo adventure to the mountains.
What started out with White-Water Rafting in Rishikesh, quickly ecsalated to a Bunjee Jumping session over the Ganga and was brought to a close with Paragliding in the Dhauladars, all in the span of 4 days.
This spontaneous outing paved the way for a flurry of forays into the vast, unexplored landscapes of the Himalayas. As we set out on our journey, wandering about looking for new adventures, we documented them as a photo-blog. However, an intanglible connection to the mountains and wilderness soon morphed this into an idea to curate immersive experiences for the free-spirited.
The Wandering Shoes, thus, came into existence.
Today, our fire burns bright as ever, with multiple new excursions being embarked on each season. From road trips to wildlife safaris, adventure sports to expeditions and cultural experiences, we aim to breathe life into your next adventure.
