Welcome to Santara Routes!
“Santara Routes was born out of a deep reverence for the mountains and a commitment to transforming how people experience the Himalayas—with purpose, precision, and operational excellence.”
I am Ravi Ranjan, Founder of Santara Routes. My approach to expedition planning is built on a simple philosophy: world-class mountain adventure requires a foundation of seamless strategy, absolute safety, and strategic precision.
Holding an MBA in Travel and Tourism Management and bringing over five years of leadership experience across competitive corporate landscapes, I established Santara Routes to bridge professional execution with raw Himalayan exploration. Having spent over two decades residing in and exploring Northeast India, my personal connection to untouched landscapes like Arunachal Pradesh runs deep.
When I founded Santara Routes, the vision was to move beyond conventional travel. Whether we are orchestrating high-altitude treks across Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand or crafting bespoke journeys through the remote valleys of the Northeast, every expedition is backed by rigorous logistics, ethical travel practices, and top-tier local networks.
Adventure in the Himalayas should be bold, safe, and deeply meaningful. My team and I are dedicated to delivering eco-conscious, meticulously engineered journeys that leave you with unforgettable memories.

Born From A Passion For The Uncharted Himalayan Trail
Santara Routes was founded on a distinct philosophy: true adventure shouldn’t feel like an impersonal package or a rushed tourist bus. It must be an immersive, respectful journey where you breathe the alpine air of glacial valleys, share hot tea beside roaring campfires with fellow explorers, and discover paths unknown to casual travelers.
From the pristine rainforests and high valleys of Arunachal Pradesh (Tawang, Mechuka, Anini) to the sacred heights of Uttarakhand, Spiti, and Ladakh, our expeditions bridge technical mountain safety, local homestay empowerment, and curated storytelling.
Our Mission
To make authentic high-altitude adventure and remote cultural exploration seamless, structured, and inspiring through seasoned mountain leadership and stringent safety standards.
Our Vision
To establish Santara Routes as India’s benchmark for bespoke, eco-conscious expeditions across the Himalayas and Northeast, recognized for crowd safety and trail stewardship.
Travel Philosophy
Leave no trace on mountain tracks, respect indigenous tribal heritage, travel in conscious small batches, and embrace the genuine camaraderie of the expedition.
