Meraki Diaries is a women-led travel company crafting soul-enriching journeys exclusively for women who yearn to explore the world with empowerment, connection, and absolute peace of mind. Born from the realisation that many women hesitate to travel solo or in mixed groups due to safety concerns, lack of support, or societal judgments, Meraki Diaries bridges that gap—creating a vibrant sisterhood of female travellers who feel free, fearless, and fully supported on every journey.
Our Founding Story & Mission
Founded in Bangalore by Arunima, an avid explorer with a passion for transformative travel, our ethos is guided by a deep purpose. The name “Meraki” captures this essence—pouring one’s soul into everything you create—and we channel that into every itinerary and community we build. As a signatory of the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism, we’re committed to responsible travel—uplifting local women-led businesses, minimising environmental impact, and honouring cultural authenticity at every destination.
Why Journey with Us
When you travel with Meraki Diaries, it's never just about the destination—it's about the transformational journey. Each trip is meticulously curated by our women-only team, ensuring that everything, from safe accommodations and trusted local female guides to flexible itineraries and on-ground emotional support, is crafted with care. From wellness retreats in Rishikesh and snowy escapades in Kashmir and Ladakh, to Northern Lights adventures in Norway and cultural deep dives across Europe and Asia, your experience is carefully crafted to foster personal growth and enriching bonds.
