From Classrooms to Kayaks:
Thomas Cook India Welcomes Nature Trails
Adventure, learning and unforgettable getaways—now closer to home.
Thomas Cook (India) Limited (TCIL) has brought Nature Trails into its fold, strengthening its domestic travel portfolio and giving customers a whole new world of outdoor experiences.
Nature Trails, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sterling Holiday Resorts, is well known for its adventure retreats around Mumbai. Tucked into scenic landscapes, the brand blends the best of the outdoors with curated programs designed for:
- Adventure Holidays – trekking, kayaking, rafting, zip-lining and more.
- Educational Trips – survival skills, nature appreciation, self-defence, and resilience building.
- Corporate Getaways – team bonding, leadership development and wellness breaks.
Why Nature Trails?
Travel today is younger, more experiential, and more authentic. TCIL’s data shows that Indian travellers are increasingly seeking hands-on adventures and unique local stories to share—especially in an era powered by social media. Nature Trails fits right in with this shift, appealing to Gen Z, millennials, and the “young at heart.”
By integrating Nature Trails’ retreats and teams, TCIL reinforces its commitment to offering memorable, differentiated travel experiences within India’s fast-growing domestic tourism sector. With Thomas Cook’s strong retail and online network, the partnership is set to scale quickly.
Mahesh Iyer, Managing Director & CEO of TCIL, summed it up: “Adventure and educational travel are growing rapidly in popularity—particularly among young Indian customers. Nature Trails perfectly aligns with Thomas Cook’s vision of curating differentiated travel experiences in the domestic travel space.”
