She Had a Masters Degree, a Big Dream, and a Tiny Budget. Now Riya Tiwari Is Taking India on Trips of a Lifetime with Yatriya.in

At 23, most of us are still figuring out what we want to become. Riya Tiwari decided to figure out something braver: what if nobody had to wait to see the world?

It began with a Masters student, a very long wish list, and two questions that would not leave her alone.
What if people could travel to the places they have always dreamed of, without breaking their savings? And what if a group of strangers could step onto a bus as strangers and step off as family?

Those two “what ifs” became Yatriya.in.

The Girl Who Was Tired of Waiting

Riya’s wish list was the kind most of us keep hidden in the notes app. The misty mountains of Sikkim. The quiet, mystical kingdom of Bhutan. The turquoise waters of the Andamans and Lakshadweep. Every place looked like a dream. Every price tag looked like a wall.

And then there was the loneliest part of the story. She had no one to go with.

Friends were busy. Dates never matched. Plans kept dying in the group chat. She watched other people’s trips on her screen and wondered why her own life had to wait for company.

So one day she asked a question that changed everything: what if the company was already out there, waiting to meet me on the road?

That is how strangers group trips were born, from a girl who had a ticket in her heart and nobody to hand the second one to.

Bhutan, Made Possible

When Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma visited Bhutan, the whole country looked up. Suddenly everyone was talking about the misty valleys, the cliffside monasteries, the calm that seems to live in the air. Bhutan’s beauty and grace had always been there. Now the world had noticed.

But for most people, it stayed on the screen. It felt too expensive to reach.

Riya grew up beside that very border, in Jaigaon, close enough to see Bhutan’s mountains almost every day and still know how far away they felt for so many. She refused to accept that. Group budget travel became her answer: shared rides, shared stays, smart planning, and the same unforgettable kingdom, finally within reach.

A Trip for Every Heart

Riya believes every traveller carries a different story, so Yatriya.in offers a different kind of journey for each one.

Budget Group Trips: Strangers Today, Family Tomorrow

You arrive nervous. By the second night, you are laughing around a bonfire with people whose names you did not know two days ago. By the last day, nobody wants to go home. Many travellers say the group chat that follows is the real souvenir.

Spiritual Journeys: When the Soul Needs a Ticket Too

Some trips are not about places. They are about peace. Walk the sacred lanes of Mathura, climb the holy trail to Vaishno Devi, and reach many more places where prayer feels closer, all planned gently and comfortably so your only job is to feel.

International Escapes: Thailand and Bhutan

Sunrise over monastery cliffs in Bhutan. Island beaches and street food in Thailand. Your first passport stamp could be the start of a whole new version of you.

Women’s Only Trips: Because Freedom Feels Better Together

Imagine a journey where you laugh louder, wander further, and worry less. Surrounded by women who are just as ready to explore, even solo travellers feel like they came with a whole team.

Senior Citizen Trips: Because Dreams Do Not Have an Expiry Date

Our parents and grandparents spent their lives making our journeys possible. These slow, comfortable, caring trips give them the chance to finally see the places they always carried in their hearts.

Honeymoon Trips: The First Chapter of Forever

Quiet beaches in the Andamans and Lakshadweep. Misty hills in Sikkim. Moments that belong only to two people, planned so well that all you need to do is hold hands and look around.

The Yatriya.in Promise

Honest Budgets: Clear rates and clear inclusions, with no hidden surprises.

Real Connections: Travel that brings people together, not just places.

The Words Behind the Brand

“I wanted to travel, and I had no one to go with,” says Riya Tiwari, Founder of Yatriya.in. “So I built a way to travel with people I had not met yet. You should never have to wait for the perfect budget or the perfect partner. Sometimes the best companions are strangers who become family.”

At 23, Riya is proof that you do not need to wait for the right age, the right money, or the right company to begin. You only need a big enough “what if.”

Students, working professionals, couples, women travelling together, and parents finally taking their long awaited holiday are already choosing Yatriya.in to turn their wishes into journeys.

“Travel is not about how much you spend,” says Riya. “It is about who you become and who you meet along the way.”

So if there is a place you have been dreaming about, a trip you have been postponing, or a version of yourself you have not met yet, this is your sign.

Pack your bag. Meet your people. Let Yatriya.in take you there.
