Unexplored Bastar is a unique travel startup which focuses on “sustainable tourism” through a “community based” approach in Chhattisgarh. With the vision to provide the benefits of growing tourism and hospitality industries in Chhattisgarh to the local communities and tribal population, we started our journey in 2016.

We have been working tirelessly for promotion of tourism, encouragement of sustainable tourism, community linkage by generation of livelihood for local/tribal people, preservation of tribal culture, conservation and promotion of tribal art and craft, providing experience-based travel opportunity, and change of general perception about Chhattisgarh.

Testimonials

An amazing offbeat experience
We did a 4 day trip to Chattisgarh with Unexplored Bastar and it is one of the most amazing trips I have ever done. The places were offbeat and we were taken care of by Anirudra. He explained the local culture very well and we learnt a lot from him during the trip.

Everything i wished for
10 out of 10. Very friendly and professional organisation that really listens to what you want and on the basis of that organize a programme for you. Their guides are super. Both Anirudra and Shikhar not only showed me around but made me feel like a friend and not just a tourist.if you want to get to know the region and meet its people this is the organisation to turn too.

Unforgettable Baster
We, 3 senior citizens, explored Baster with Unexplored Baster. This is a memorable trip for us, for not only seeing the magnificent waterfalls, miles of forest, but also to come closer to local people, experience their puja rituals. This is otherwise impossible for us without their help. Thanks U. B and Anirudra for helping us.
