ABOUT

History

Shakti was founded in 2004 by Jamshyd Sethna, whose love of the mountains began during his schooldays in Darjeeling. A Parsi from Bombay, Jamshyd’s own personal travel style, love of food and art, combined with a passion for the Himalayas, is the creative force behind Shakti.

As one of India’s best known travel professionals, Shakti is born out of Jamshyd’s understanding of the sophisticated traveller he has spent his career catering to. Creating sensitive and private experiences in remote regions without compromising on authenticity or comfort was unparalleled at the time of conception and continues to be so today.
