Breaking Trails: Priyashika Rai on Being a Female Guide in the Himalayas | New Darjeeling

Описание: In this heartfelt talk, Priyashika Rai, one of the only female trek guides in the Singalila region, shares her journey of carving a space for herself in a male-dominated world of adventure tourism. As a certified trek leader and WFA responder, she speaks about the challenges, pride, and purpose behind leading groups through the mountains she calls home.

This talk was part of Tourism in Transition, a New Darjeeling event hosted at Tara Circle Hostel in collaboration with Youth for Tourism, where voices from across the hills came together to reimagine what tourism could look like — inclusive, sustainable, and local-first.
