VANDANA VIJAY

Founder & CEO

Vandana Vijay’s seed of travel and exploration was planted in childhood. A senior army officer’s daughter, moving suitcases across the country, setting up her room in new homes, moving schools, cultivating friendships, and revelling in India’s disparateness every two years, germinated in the birthing of an experiential travel company, Offbeat Tracks. An independent businessperson, she has dabbled in various fields such as the corporate industry as an employee with Facebook, dipped her toes in the military sector by holding an All India First in UPSC CDS Merit to join the Indian Army, and has even graduated in MSc. in Microbiology!

Several years of discovery, especially undertaking Himalayan and mountain expeditions, and unravelling the beautiful diversity and extent of influence of the ancient civilization of this country, led to her breakthrough idea of Offbeat Tracks. Quitting her cushy company job, she followed her dream to form a travel company focussed not only on curating holidays, but also on contributing to the larger human community promoting local economy, culture, and heritage.
She complements her sojourns by reading, playing squash, and hiking. Her heart lies in the Ladakh region and the vastness of its rugged landscape.
