What We Offer
We specialise in expert-led programs that are peppered with interactions with grassroots heroes, on-field specialists, and cultural authorities who add to your experience of a destination.
The Legend of Snowfox
The ‘fox’ in Snowfox comes from 20th century thinker Isaiah Berlin’s fabled essay “The Hedgehog and the Fox”. The fox is a metaphor for diverse knowledge and a multidimensional approach, a philosophy we believe in and follow. The hedgehog, on the other hand, is more focused on a single idea and hence goes deeper, a principle we see in many of the grassroots interactions on our journeys. The fox is the gatherer of multiple experiences, and hence the driving force of our varied escapes.

Chief Foxes
Shikha Tripathi
Snowfox Escapes is curated by Shikha, a prolific writer and outdoor enthusiast who grew up in the Indian Himalaya. She has written for India’s leading travel publications, and additionally, is a Lonely Planet guidebook author. Shikha’s writings have led her to some of the most offbeat trails and cultures in remote mountains of the subcontinent. An NIM and NOLS graduate, her wealth of knowledge as a certified mountaineer and an avid hiker aids in the designing of our programs, and is the backbone of this travel venture. She is also trained in wilderness first aid that adds immense value and safety to the trips she leads.
Himmat Anand
In tourism, Himmat needs no introduction; he hung up his boots in the corporate world after serving as Chief Operating Officer of Swiss travel giant Kuoni India & Asia towards the latter half of an illustrious career, only to create his own brand of boutique hotels, the Tree of Life Resorts, which is now part of the Taj Group of Hotels. He now replaces his corporate shoes with hiking boots to gear up for his new role with us as a visionary and do what he does best— give a niche product the right direction.
Sushant Bhatia
A passionate traveler who has donned several hats including leading trips for various well established trekking outfits, Sushant is a dreamer and poet who found his true calling in education and travel. Be it as a trek leader, his motorcycling adventures, or teaching life skills, mountain journeys have shaped his mind and soul. For the last few years, he’s dedicated himself to teaching and transforming the learning curve of young minds, and at Snowfox, we continue to tap into his skills to offer wholesome experiences to our guests.
