As global travel preferences evolve, Snowfox Escapes is challenging inbound tour operators to step beyond conventional itineraries and embrace the Outdoors. Founded by Himalayan expert Shikha Tripathi and led by Chief Visionary Officer Himmat Anand, the company partners closely with inbound operators to offer authentic, adventure-driven, outdoor-focused programmes for their clients—aligning with the modern traveller’s desire for nature, inclusivity, and inspiration.
“Your clients’ needs have changed. Have yours?” With this pointed question, Himmat Anand, Chief Visionary Officer at Snowfox Escapes, throws down the gauntlet to India’s inbound tour operators. According to Anand, the age of monument-based tourism is slowly waning, replaced by a growing appetite for immersive outdoor experiences—think short treks, nature escapes, and offbeat trails.
“I believe the era of monument tourism is behind us. Today’s travellers are seeking outdoor experiences—short treks and other unique adventures. Inbound tour operators need to embrace this shift and broaden their offerings, even if it’s beyond their traditional strengths,” says Anand, adding, “That’s where Snowfox Escapes steps in. We aim to be trusted partners for inbound operators, combining their international marketing expertise and networks with our local know-how and ground handling capabilities to co-create a niche product line.”
True to its name, the ‘fox’ in Snowfox symbolises a wide-ranging knowledge base and a multidimensional mindset—qualities that are deeply embedded in the brand’s philosophy. Snowfox Escapes prides itself on designing transformative travel journeys rooted in the great outdoors. Each itinerary is crafted with care and local expertise, offering experiences that move beyond the ordinary.
Central to this vision is Shikha Tripathi, a seasoned writer, Lonely Planet guidebook author, and outdoor expert who grew up in the Indian Himalayas. Her work has been featured in prestigious publications such as Condé Nast Traveller, Travel + Leisure, and National Geographic Traveller. An avid hiker and certified mountaineer, Shikha’s deep-rooted knowledge of India’s remote trails and indigenous cultures forms the backbone of Snowfox Escapes’ programs.
Anchored in the brand’s tagline “Outdoors for All,” Snowfox Escapes operates on three core principles: Inclusive, Inspiring, and Impactful. It offers inbound travellers a chance to break away from the usual tourist circuits and instead discover their tribe amidst nature’s grandeur.
With Snowfox Escapes, the future of inbound tourism looks wilder, more connected—and infinitely more enriching.
