The Forgotten Villages of Kutch
Kutch, Gujarat · 5 days · Max 12 travellers
You wake before the heat does, in a village the highway forgot. By mid-morning you are sitting with an embroiderer whose stitchwork carries her grandmother's patterns, learning why every motif means something. The salt flats wait for the full moon. Nothing here is staged for you — you have simply been allowed in.
Built around the craft households of rural Kutch — the people who teach you are the people the experience pays.

Live With a Monk in Spiti Valley
Spiti, Himachal Pradesh · 6 days · Max 8 travellers
The monastery does not adjust to you; you adjust to it. You rise when the bells rise, eat what the kitchen eats, and learn the difference between silence and quiet. By the fourth day the altitude stops being the hardest part. You leave with fewer photographs than you expected and more than you came for.
Hosted within a working monastic community — access granted, never sold.

A note from the founder
I started Foxpels with a simple discomfort: most of the value travel creates in India never reaches the people who make it worth travelling for — the festival hosts, the weavers, the families who open their kitchens and their courtyards. Foxpels exists to reverse that. We design experiences with communities, not around them, and we build every agreement so the people at the centre of the experience stay at the centre of its economics. We are young and deliberately small — launching with a handful of founding partners who get my direct attention, not an account manager. If you work with travellers, students, or teams who want India at real depth, write to me. I answer my own email.
Foxpels is a vertical of Earth Abroad Private Limited — an Indian travel company operating three verticals: Responsible & Experiential Tourism (Foxpels), Medical Tourism, and Wellness Tourism.
