A Personal Note

A 60-second message from Viji

Hi, I'm Viji — and Kadam SoulScapes is the result of 20 years walking trails across the world: from Peru's Rainbow Mountain to Kashmir's Seven Lakes, Petra, Cambodia, Cappadocia, the Australian reefs.

What I learned is that the best travel isn't about miles covered — it's about how present you got, who you met, what you noticed. That's what every Kadam journey is built around.

"I don't run trips. I open doors — to places, to people, and most often, to a version of yourself you'd forgotten existed."

Why Kadam Exists

Most travel steals your weekend.
Ours changes your life.

The honest difference between mass tourism and a Kadam journey isn't the destination — it's the philosophy behind every detail.

✕ Rushed Tourism

The kind of travel that leaves you more tired than you started.

  • 30+ strangers herded onto buses with packed itineraries
  • Generic hotels with forgettable food and no character
  • Tourist traps, queues, selfie stops — checkbox sightseeing
  • No personal attention or safety protocols for solo women
  • Anonymous guides reading from scripts
  • Photos for Instagram, zero memories for the soul
✓ The Kadam Way

The kind of travel that actually moves something inside you.

  • Small groups of 6–12 — never larger. Real connection.
  • Verified homestays, boutique camps, local-chef meals
  • Hidden trails, slow mornings, conversations with locals
  • Women-safe protocols, female trip leads, verified stays
  • Founder-led journeys with Viji's 20 years of experience
  • Memories that last decades — sometimes a lifetime
Our Strongest Promise

Built for the woman who wants to travel fearlessly.

Whether you're solo, between life chapters, or finally taking that trip you've been postponing — we've engineered every detail with your safety in mind, so all you have to think about is the experience.

💗 The Kadam Women's Safety Pledge

Every Kadam departure is led by verified women-safe protocols: female trip leads where possible, verified stays personally inspected, safe transport vetted by us, 24/7 emergency support, and a small group ratio that never compromises on attention.

Your Guide & Founder

Meet Viji — the woman who's walked every trail she'll take you on.

Over 20 years, two decades, and more passport stamps than she can count — Viji has trekked Peru's Rainbow Mountain, Kashmir's Seven Lakes, Chandrashila, Capilano, Mount Rainier, Cambodia's ruins, Mexico's caves, Australia's reefs, and Petra.

At Kadam, she doesn't just design trips. She creates safe, soulful experiences for solo women, couples, and families. Small groups, verified stays, and the kind of local knowledge that no travel blog can give you.

Why we travel differently

01
🧭

Slow & Intentional

No checklist tourism. We pace every journey to help you truly feel a place — its rhythm, its food, its people, over a simple cup of mountain chai.

02
🌿

Eco-Conscious

Minimum footprint, maximum respect. Responsible travel, local sustainable partnerships, and active care for the flora and fauna along every trail.

03
👁

Eyes for the Hidden

We are the eyes for those who cannot easily access remote trails and hidden villages — bringing back stories and bridges most travellers never find.

04
🤝

Community First

Kadam builds warm tribes of like-minded explorers. The friendships formed on trail outlast the journey and enrich the soul indefinitely.

"As a solo female traveller, safety was everything for me. Kadam gave me that and so much more — a group of women I now call lifelong friends, trails that took my breath away, and confidence I never knew I had."

"Took our family of four on the Tirthan retreat. We put away our phones, we talked, we breathed, we were actually present. Viji created that space perfectly. Best decision of our year."

How do I book a Kadam journey? +

Three easy ways: (1) Fill out the booking form below and we'll reach out within 24 hours, (2) WhatsApp Viji directly for instant chat, (3) Email kadaminfinity@gmail.com.

Once we discuss your trip, we'll send a confirmation with itinerary, payment link, and what to pack. Booking is confirmed once 30% advance is received.

What's your cancellation & refund policy? +

30+ days before departure: Full refund minus 5% processing fee.
15–30 days: 75% refund.
7–14 days: 50% refund.
Less than 7 days: No refund, but you can transfer your seat to another batch within 12 months.

Force majeure (natural disasters, government restrictions) — we work with you for full credit toward future trips.

Is solo travel safe with Kadam, especially for women? +

This is our #1 priority. Every Kadam departure includes verified stays personally inspected, vetted transport, female trip leads where available, 24/7 emergency support, and small group ratios (6–12 max).

We also offer dedicated women-only departures throughout the year. Over 60% of our travellers are solo women — it's the heart of what we do.

What's the fitness level required for treks? +

It varies by trip. Each journey is rated Gentle, Easy, Moderate, or Challenging. Gentle and Easy trips suit anyone in basic shape — no prior trekking experience needed.

For Moderate or Challenging treks, we send a 4-week fitness preparation guide once you book. We're happy to chat through your fitness honestly before booking — Viji has guided 65-year-olds up Chandrashila and they've thrived.

What's included in the price? +

Included: All accommodation, all meals, all transport from the start city, founder/female trip lead, permits and entries, first-aid kit, emergency oxygen on high-altitude trips.

Not included: Personal expenses, alcohol, tips, travel insurance (we strongly recommend; we can help arrange), pre-trip flights to start city if you're outside Delhi.

How do payments work? +

30% advance to confirm booking. 70% balance due 30 days before departure. We accept UPI, bank transfer, and major credit/debit cards via secure Razorpay link.

For international travellers, we accept Wise transfers and PayPal. All payments come with proper GST invoices.

What if I'm a first-time trekker? +

Over 40% of our travellers are first-timers. We have curated "first-trek" journeys like Nag Tibba (2 days) and Chandrashila (5 days, gentle) that are perfect for beginners.

Viji personally walks you through everything — fitness prep, packing, what to expect emotionally and physically. You will be supported every step.

What kind of accommodations do you use? +

A thoughtful mix based on each location: boutique homestays with local families, character-rich heritage guesthouses, riverside camps (in warm seasons), and clean mountain lodges. Never generic hotel chains.

Every stay is personally inspected by Viji or her trusted local partners. Cleanliness, safety, and authentic character — non-negotiable.

Can I bring my children / family? +

Absolutely. We have family-friendly trips like Tirthan, Mandal Valley, and the Coastal Wellness Retreat that work beautifully for kids 8+. Older children (12+) can join most moderate treks.

Tell us your family composition when you enquire and we'll guide you to the right journey or custom-design one.

Do you offer private / custom trips? +

Yes. About 30% of our work is private custom journeys for families, couples, or small groups of friends. Minimum 4 travellers, custom dates, custom destinations. Pricing depends on group size and choices.

WhatsApp us with your dream trip — Viji loves designing these.

What about altitude sickness on high-altitude trips? +

Every high-altitude itinerary includes mandatory acclimatisation days. We carry emergency oxygen, basic medical kit, and our team is trained in altitude-sickness recognition and response.

We provide a pre-trip medical checklist. If altitude is a concern, we'll honestly recommend a lower-altitude alternative — your safety always comes first.

What COVID / health protocols do you follow? +

We follow all current government guidelines. While COVID restrictions have eased, we maintain hygiene protocols at all stays, ensure adequate sanitisation in vehicles, and carry basic medical supplies.

We require travellers to inform us of any pre-existing health conditions during booking so we can plan appropriately.
