Our Story
From Planning Travel to Creating Destinations
"Places like Tirthan Valley do not reward excess. They reward authenticity."
During the COVID period, when the world had paused, Vineet Bansal made a decision that most would avoid. Instead of stepping back, he chose to move forward. A visit to Tirthan Valley became a defining moment — silence, raw nature, and a pace of life that forces you to slow down.
Since 2015, through Escapenfly, Vineet had curated travel experiences for thousands of clients. One clear insight emerged — people don't remember trips for luxury rooms or packed itineraries. They remember how they felt, the peace they experienced, and the moments they truly lived.
This understanding became the foundation of Tiraya. Not just another stay, but a space where people disconnect from noise and reconnect with themselves. Every decision has been intentional — not overbuilding, not over-commercialising, not chasing volume.
Tiraya is the natural evolution — from planning travel to creating destinations. A long-term belief that meaningful travel is the future.
