Going niche
seems to be the mantra these days. And based on this Mantra, Mumbai based
entrepreneur, Hetal Doshi has launched ‘The Wander Girls’ which organizes
national and international trips and events, but only for women!
Only Women Allowed!
The Wander Girls
(TWG) organizes women only trips in India and around the world. They also offer
trip planning services and India tour packages to International tourists who
are interested in travelling to India. Additionally, TWG also holds various
women only events in Indian metro cities with the goal of providing women with
an opportunity to meet and interact with other women.
The Founder
TWG was founded
by Hetal Doshi. A banker, entrepreneur, writer, and budding photographer, Hetal
has worn many hats to find one that best fits. Hetal has an undergraduate
degree in Finance, as well as an MBA in Finance from Rutgers University, USA.
Hetal has lived
in and travelled to different countries and continents like USA, Canada,
Europe, China, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and various South East Asian
countries.
Her travels made
her realize that she is happiest when on the road, alone or with a bunch of
friends, travelling to destinations that are yet to be discovered. She founded
TWG with the purpose of sharing this passion for travel and providing women
with social and professional networking options.
Hetal believes
travel is all about enjoying the journey and not simply reaching a destination.
What’s Unique?
With her
extensive travel experience and knowledge, Hetal ensures that TWG trips are a
carefully crafted mix of scenery, history, culture, adventure, local
gastronomy, getting to know the people, and shopping!
“Our trips are
built keeping in my mind all the interests and activities a girl would want to
be a part of. Large tour operators don’t take this into account!” says Hetal.
The events
(Mixers and Meet-ups) are a unique way of bringing together and creating a
community for women and empower them in the social and professional arena.
TWG trips are
comfortably paced thus allowing one to enjoy every single moment of the trip.
Whether one is looking for a short weekend break, a reading holiday, a
bachelorette outing, a getaway with girlfriends, a wellness vacation, a
shopping expedition, a fitness trip, a rural experience, or a longer trip to
various destinations, one will find something that resonates within.
Why Travel?
Hetal believes
that on her trips she has overcome her fears, learned to appreciate different
viewpoints, handle stressful situations confidently, and more importantly made
the most of every single moment.
She believes
travel pushes us to introspect. It allows us to stay young at heart (thus ‘The
Wander Girls’ and not ‘The Wander Women’)!
“Travel gives us
the chance to connect with people around the world. It allows us to disconnect
from mindless worries and refreshes our mind in the process,” she says.
Hetal and the
team at The Wander Girls believe that travel is their way of life.
Upcoming Trips
“In August end we have a
Road trip to Konkan in the Monsoon. It’s a beautiful time to visit Konkan as
everything is verdant,” says Hetal. This trip will allow one to experience the
waterfalls, temples, forts, beaches, miles and miles of coastline filled with
greenery and mist!
In September end they have a trip to Goa.
Unlike most trips to Goa which simply focus on the beaches of Goa, this trip
will include Chorla Ghats in Swapnagandha Valley, walk through the heritage
area and Latin Quarters called Fontainhas, a night at a floating casino,
enjoying the Doodhsagar Waterfalls which is at its best in the monsoon, and a
whitewater river rafting experience on the Mandovi river, in addition to
churches, temples and forts!
