About Us
Girls On The Go (GOTG) is a trail blazing women’s travel club that has been redefining journeys for women since 2008.
Featured in Forbes, National Geographic Traveler, Condé Nast Traveller, Elle, Vogue, Al Jazeera etc we have been at the forefront of making travel safe, enriching, and deeply rewarding for women.
With GOTG, travel isn’t just about ticking destinations off a list—it’s about experiencing the world in a way that empowers, inspires, and builds lasting connections.
We have led women on unforgettable journeys: overland adventures to Ladakh, encounters with the legendary headhunters of Nagaland, treks to the Everest Base Camp, island-hopping in Greece, expedition cruising in Antarctica, chasing the Northern Lights in Norway, living like nomads in Mongolia etc.
Whether you are looking to go on solo explorations or join like-minded companions for unique adventures, GOTG can help to make your travel dreams come true.
Our MISSION is to help women
Travel ~ Evolve ~ Transform
We empower women to travel outside their familiar surroundings and explore new worlds. This helps them evolve into more confident, aware, and compassionate women who will positively transform
Why Should
Women Travel?
Women do more than just travel—they carry the world home with them.
As primary caregivers to children and shapers of families, they pass on wisdom and influence future generations in unique ways.
A Ripple Effect of Change – A woman’s journey doesn’t end with her—it transforms families, communities, and future generations, one story, one lesson, one experience at a time.
Navigating a Changing World – As climate change, cultural divides, and social challenges reshape our world, women travelers bring back more than memories—they return with solutions, inspiration, and a fresh perspective.
Every trip a woman takes is more than just an adventure—it’s an investment in a more compassionate, connected, and conscious world.
Join our community of like-minded women who believe in the power of travel to change lives—starting with their own.
The Journey So Far
Girls On The Go Travel Club (GOTG) was started in 2008 by erstwhile corporate lawyer Piya Bose on a Zero Cash business model after an inspiring, impromptu overland trip from Lucknow (India) - Nepal - Tibet.
The first GOTG trip was to Ladakh in August 2008. Since then, GOTG has taken women trekking up to the Everest Base Camp, walking under water in Bali, expedition cruising in Antarctica, photographing the Northern Lights at the Arctic Circle, exploring volcanoes in Reunion Island and Santorini, camping like nomads in Mongolia, living with erstwhile head hunters in Nagaland etc.
GOTG has also shifted from doing 'women only tours' to 'tours for women'. Though our group tours are only for women, we also have 'groups within groups' for women who are comfortable travelling with safe mixed gender groups. These are usually one of a kind special interest tours organised by our trusted partners where the larger group has both men and women. GOTG forms a smaller group within the larger group and GOTG travellers are always paired with female room mates.
In keeping with the spirit that barriers are only in the mind and not the body, GOTG has helped women with disabilities and women as old as 90 years go on soul seeking adventures.
About the Founder
Former corporate lawyer Piya Bose started Girls On The Go in 2008 after a life changing overland trip from Lucknow – Nepal – Tibet. She wanted women to experience the same sense of liberation and joy she felt during her journey.
Previously, during her solo travels to South America at the young age of 16 years as a Rotary Exchange student, she noticed that very few women were travelling on their own. This and her later solo travels inspired her to start GOTG, to empower women to travel safely around the world.
Piya also writes for National Geographic, Forbes etc and has spoken at various forums globally about travel and entrepreneurship.
Amongst her personal travel highlights, she travelled to two opposite extreme ends of the world – Antarctica and Arctic Circle – within a short period of 3 months in 2014.
Her TEDx talk on how she started GOTG on a zero cash business model was featured globally among Top 9 TEDx talks by Forbes.
