About The Wondring Himalaya
The Wondring Himalaya is a sister company of the Himalayan Discovery Group of Hotels and Travel Services, founded in May 2025 by Yashita Thakur. In its first year the company has served 150+ direct (B2C) travelers and 350+ travel-partner (B2B) clients, and holds a 5.0-star rating from 20 Google reviews.
Part of the Himalayan Discovery Group
The Wondring Himalaya is the newest company under the Himalayan Discovery Group of Hotels and Travel Services. It’s a Kinnaur-based hospitality and travel business with 25+ years in the market and 10,000+ clients served. The group’s long-standing hotel and guide network across Kalpa and Sarahan is the same network The Wondring Himalaya draws on for its Kinnaur stays.
Bringing a new, independently-run company into a 25+ year group means Wondring Himalaya inherits real operational experience (hotel relationships, local guide networks, and on-ground logistics) while building its own identity and standards from day one.
Meet the Founder: Yashita Thakur
Yashita Thakur is the founder of The Wondring Himalaya and the daughter of Laik Ram Thakur, owner of the Himalayan Discovery Group. She runs the company alongside her college studies, managing staff, guiding trip logistics, and personally checking on hotel and staff standards while she completes her degree. Every major decision at The Wondring Himalaya is made jointly by Yashita and her father.
“I come from a family with an established business, surrounded by hard work and the idea of building something people can trust. The Wondring Himalaya is my own step in that journey — my ideas, my effort, my vision. I’m still learning and growing in this industry, and for me hospitality isn’t just a service — it’s about making people feel welcomed, comfortable and valued. This is just the beginning.”— Yashita Thakur, Founder
Why Our Trips Cost More
The Wondring Himalaya is built around premium and luxury experiences, not budget travel: handpicked stays, closer attention to service, and hands-on quality checks on every property we send guests to. That’s a deliberate choice, and it’s reflected in the price: we’d rather run fewer trips done properly than cut corners to compete on cost.
