About
Ontrip promotes ‘less-popular’ travel destinations in India. We are open community, any one can join and enrich us. We are not a travel agency. But we may (or may not) provide some services travel agencies usually provide like consultation, recommendations, booking help and money transfer.
Who we are?
We are philanthropists, researchers, creators, developers, organizers, engineers, doctors, believers, non-believers having a common interest that is “travelling”. We all have our own profession but commonly we are travelers. In a life, gifted with only 1000 weekends, we want to travel the universe while we are in our mid-twenties, mid-thirties or mid-forties. We must fail but the feelings of that failure must be exotic one. So we are here. No big business plan, no drive to create the “next big thing”, just to express that we believe in a common thing that is “travelling”.
There are hundreds of travel networks, online booking sites and travel groups sharing information and making business out of it. But there is a “Gap” between the community and the travelers. By community, we mean a remote village having two home-stays and unending view of the Himalaya, but does not have any active link to the travelers all over the world. Here we come, we meet the owners of the those houses, help them to provide more viable infrastructure, motivate them to brand building, promote their properties, transfer travelers’ money to them and politely tell them to send their children to school and asking their children to take care of nature and natural resources. We are trying to fill the “Gap” – which some didn’t find and the rest just ignored.
We need money to run this high efficiency Linux server and time to spend on searching, communicating and dealing with issues. We have a sustainable business plan, that is an understanding between the property owners and us. We do not deal with middle man. We do not add any surcharge on the rate, that means, we’ll provide the same tariff, the property owners are offering to travelers.
It is a vague question. We believe that we are trustworthy, like we believe that our travelers will not throw burning cigarette ends in the forest.
If you are in some doubts, a little chit-chat with chat@ontrip.in (from Gmail/Google Apps) may be helpful.
