Our Story
Our journey through the mountains and seas!
Gilehrio was founded in late 2018 to provide the heritage experiences in and around Odisha to start with. Our team members have always been passionate about showcasing heritage. We have had excellent academics, heritage experts in our group who joined us to discover new destinations and uncover new dimensions to old ones.
​
What started as a culmination of heritage-lovers to share the untold hidden stories of India, eventually grew into a network of local communities. Our beach camp at Gundalaba village with Olive Ridley Turtle conservationist Bichitrananda Biswal aka Bichi Bhai took off, and there was no looking back. Today we are working across mountains and seas with communities of myriad cultures and heritage. However, what remains common across boundaries & communities is the sense of a family and the love for nature wrapped in which are all our eco-tourism experiences.
​
Our utmost priority is to provide superb and authentic experience to our clients. Since our establishment, we have provided our clients with many trails and trips experiences which have been singular and delightful. We are slowly adding new geographies to our bouquet of trips. If you want to see a particular trip or geography feature in our services, please do write to us.

Our
Mission
We partner with local communities to co-create wonderful new ecotourism experiences that inspire.
Our Values
Our values have been thought-out carefully to perfectly fit into the sensitive corners of the world we are building our tourism experiences in. Everything we do is governed and based on these values.
Rooted In Communities
We are 'Powered By Communities'. At the core of everything we do are communities. We believe while we empower them, they are the foundation that holds us strong and helps us co-create these amazing experiences for you!
Heritage-Oriented
Everything we do carries the essence of our heritage through nature, local culture, local cuisine, and local architectures. Heritage resides not only in monuments, but also in the practices of every local community which we showcase through our eco experiences.
Eco-Sensitive
Our experiences are curated and created in tandem with nature. We are sensitive about the environment we work in, and strive to support all conservationists through our tourism practices. As a traveler you also become a part of it all!
Local Heroes & Stories
We ensure in all our practices that local heroes from the community is highlighted. The tales of the village, and change-makers must be told, we believe. We look for such stories across the villages and communities to support their cause and tales.
