About us
We started because one trip almost did not happen.
Her Bucket List is a women-only travel company based in Jaipur. We run small-group trips across India and abroad for women who are done waiting for the right time.
The start
2021, and a cancelled ticket.
Our founder had booked Spiti twice and cancelled twice. The first time because a cousin's wedding moved. The second time because nobody at home was comfortable with her going alone, and she could not find a group that was only women.
The third time she stopped asking and put out a post looking for seven women to split a vehicle. Eleven replied in a day. That trip ran in September 2021 and every one of those eleven women has travelled with us again.
That is the whole thesis. There was never a shortage of women who wanted to go. There was a shortage of trips built for them.
Where we are now
- ✓1,400 women travelled since 2021
- ✓9 trips, 32 fixed departures a year
- ✓Six full-time women trip leads
- ✓41 percent of travellers come back

What we believe
Three rules we do not break
These are not marketing lines. Every trip we plan gets checked against them, and we have dropped destinations that failed.
She does not have to justify the trip
Not to a partner, not to a parent, not to us. We never ask why you are going alone, and our forms do not ask for a husband's name.
Nothing goes on the itinerary untested
Every stay, driver and guide has been used by a member of our team first. If we have not slept in the room, it is not on the list.
The price on the page is the price
No compulsory tipping pool, no surprise entry fee on day four, no upsell on the trip. What is not included is written down before you pay.
How we got here
Five years, one departure at a time
The first Spiti group
Eleven women, one hired tempo traveller, a spreadsheet for an itinerary. We came back and immediately planned the second.
Registered as a company
Four trips within India, all in the Himalayas and the Northeast. We hired our first full-time trip lead.
First trip outside India
Bali, twelve women, nine of them flying internationally for the first time. Six needed a passport made. We learned to build that into the timeline.
The 45 and over groups
Enough women in their fifties asked for a slower pace that we started running departures built for it. They sell out first now.
Nine trips, thirty two departures
Georgia joins the list. Our office moved out of a bedroom in Jaipur and into an actual office in Jaipur.
Who travels with you
Our trip leads
One of them is on every departure, from the airport pickup to the drop. They are employees, not freelancers hired for the week.

Safety
What we do so your family stops worrying
You can send this section to whoever needs convincing.
Before you go
You get the full stay list with addresses and phone numbers, your trip lead's number, and a 24x7 India helpline that reaches a person, not a queue. Emergency contacts are collected at booking.
While you are away
Your trip lead does a headcount at every transfer and shares a daily update to the group. Drivers are the same people we have used for years, never a pool cab arranged that morning. Rooms are always on the same floor.
