What Backpacker does
Founded in 2004, Backpacker operates in Travel Tech offering personalised travel experiences that focus on immersive journeying rather than conventional tourism. The company is co-founded by avid travellers Yogi Shah and Suchna Hegde, who leverage their extensive travel experience to curate adventures that include local experiences and spontaneous detours. Backpacker aims to break away from packaged tours by providing unique options like pub crawls and distinctive hostel stays, aligning trips with individual personalities. Their philosophy is encapsulated in the mantra Your Trip, Your Way .
