Life @Refuje
Revolutionizing the great Indian outdoors by fostering a vibrant, responsible community of outdoors lovers and local wardens.
To empower local communities by co-creating authentic, sustainable, and world-class travel experiences in India. From adventure and cultural immersion to wellness and pure fun, we aim to redefine travel through meaningful connections, and unforgettable journeys.
“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes”
We're a bunch of travel enthusiasts who've spent years exploring the globe and boardrooms alike. Some locals while others city rats, we share a love for adventure, nature, and all the thrills and spills that come with it.
After dominating the youth travel scene in India for over a decade, we decided to join forces again and shake things up with Refuje. Our mission? To bring ridiculously cool, world-class travel experiences to our beloved India.
We want to make travel sustainable, professional, fun, and empowering for everyone involved - locals and travelers alike. So, join us on this wild adventure and let's change the face of travel together.
The Bold Monk
Kullu-Shimla kid turned Himalayan fixer. Rajesh spent years building hostels and homestays with local families, chefs, and curious travelers - stays that felt personal, not packaged. He believes tourism should humanize, not extract. Now he's building Refuje to help people rediscover wonder in outdoors.
The OG Local
Kinnauri boy who came back home after IIM Calcutta! Ajay spent his early years co-creating with village partners - proof that "local" is the experience and building across Himachal and Ladakh. Belief system: locals first, always. In Refuje, he's building a platform with local communities for shared growth.
