Our Story

Crafted by Locals, for Curious Travellers

Two friends, one mountain village, and an unshakeable belief that the best travel experiences are guided by passion — not just profession.

Founded 2020

Born in Marayoor,
Built on Local Love

Legends of Marayoor began in 2020 as a simple idea between two childhood friends — Ajay and Ayyanar — who grew up in the misty highlands around Marayoor, Idukki district. They watched countless tour groups rush through the valley without truly experiencing its magic, and they knew they could do better.

Armed with intimate local knowledge, a single jeep, and the kind of warmth only a home village can teach, they started guiding small groups through sandalwood forests, Dolmen sites, hidden waterfalls, and wildlife sanctuaries that no mainstream itinerary reaches.

Five years and thousands of happy guests later, Legends of Marayoor has grown into a full-service adventure travel company — but the founding ethos has never changed: take fewer groups, go deeper, come back changed.
