Our story

A personal approach
to going places.

Trip Buddies began with a simple belief: travel can connect people in a way everyday life rarely does. A conversation on the road, a shared discovery, a new friendship—these are the moments we care about.

Founded by Abhishek Pansare and based in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, we plan group trips, private holidays, and journeys for colleges and corporate teams.

Our focus is thoughtful planning, comfort and a genuine connection with the people who travel with us. Wherever you’re starting from, we’d love to help you find your next story.

Have a destination in mind? We’re all ears.

Rooted in Maharashtra. Open to the world.

A personal approach, since 2017.

Founded in 2017 by Abhishek Rajendra Pansare in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad), Trip Buddies helps travellers plan journeys around their dates, budget and way of travelling.

Our story

Trip Buddies began with a simple idea: make travel accessible, authentic and memorable for travellers from Maharashtra and across India. Founder Abhishek Rajendra Pansare brings a personal approach to planning, listening to what each traveller needs and working with the team on the details.

Since 2017, our work has grown across group departures and customised holidays. The lessons of changing travel conditions, including the pandemic years, continue to shape our approach to communication, operational resilience and customer trust.

What we work towards

Our mission is to connect local culture and memorable experiences with thoughtful logistics and value-conscious planning. We want a journey to feel clear to book, enjoyable to experience and worth remembering.

Our vision is to become a trusted travel partner for families, couples, students and solo travellers from Maharashtra and beyond, known for empathy, reliability and careful planning.

The details that matter to us

  • Listen first: understand the traveller before building the itinerary.
  • Be clear: explain prices, inclusions, exclusions and applicable conditions before payment.
  • Keep it local: work with destination partners, hotels and guides to connect travellers with the place.
  • Plan responsibly: consider safety, partner suitability and respect for local communities and environments.
  • Keep learning: use feedback to improve our planning, communication and on-trip coordination.

A team you can talk to

Our team coordinates planning, operations, tour support and customer enquiries with local partners, guides and hotel teams. Founder-level escalation is available through the support process for unresolved or sensitive concerns.

Tell us your dates, starting city, budget and the kind of trip you have in mind. We will help discuss a suitable route, pace and stay style, then put the applicable arrangements and terms in writing.

Travel with care

We encourage travel that respects local customs, communities and natural places. Follow guidance at cultural and protected sites, reduce waste where possible and ask before photographing people. We seek partners who support responsible practices and continue to learn from the destinations we visit.
