New Delhi — When’s the last time you saw a group of 20-year-olds heading to Kasol without a single middleman, just vibes and an Insta-worthy itinerary? If you’ve been suspicious about how every second college kid seems to be on a curated Himalayan trek while you’re still playing Ludo in Hauz Khas Village, here’s your answer: Capture A Trip. This isn’t your regular travel agency—these guys are basically the Zomato of travel for young Indians, and Delhi is eating it up.
So, What Exactly Is Capture A Trip Doing Right?
Founded by three passionate travel junkies who got sick of corporate life before the ink dried on their degrees, Capture A Trip has taken a bold approach—targeting Gen Z and early millennials with travel experiences that are equal parts trending and economical. And they’re not playing. Think fixed-departure trips to Manali, co-working retreats in Bir Billing, and even solo travel packs for all the independent queens in Kamla Nagar and South Campus.
But the real sauce? Their marketing game. Instead of brochures or boring billboards near ISBT, Capture A Trip is stealing your screen-time on Instagram reels, meme collabs, travel-centric podcasts, and university fests. Their paid partnerships with micro-influencers from colleges like LSR and SRCC, plus FOMO-laced reels that feel like an inside joke among Dilli ke doston, have built a cult-like following. They’ve understood that for India’s young crowd, the announcement of a hostel rooftop bonfire in Mcleodganj at ₹3999 is more tempting than a DLF Mall Select sale.
Is This a Blessing or Another Reason to Miss Class?
Let’s be real: a three-day escape to Tirthan Valley can do more for someone’s mental health than a week in Nehru Place’s co-working chaos. For students slogging through DU’s unpredictable attendance sheets, and freshers adjusting to Gurgaon’s 3-hour commute, Capture A Trip is offering a much-needed breather—without forcing you to become a logistics ninja. Their pre-planned routes, included transport, and friendly co-travelers (who often become more than friends) make them perfect for exhausted Zoom-era youth desperate for a detox from Blue Tokai deadlines and NOIDA office sprints.
The cost? Surprisingly palatable. Most of their trips are under ₹10K, which is basically two boozy weekends in Hauz Khas. And because they rely heavily on scale and social buzz, they aren’t slapping “tourist trap” margins on every package. For Delhi’s working youth with more wanderlust than wallet balance, that’s gold.
The Last Time We Got This Hyped Was During DU’s Fest Season
This isn’t the first time Delhi’s youth locked arms for a unique travel experience. Remember “Byond Travel” from 2016 or “The Trip Machine” that had a fling with DU kids for two summers before vanishing like a Tinder match post-trip? Many tried this format, but Capture A Trip seems to have cracked the post-COVID formula: community + escapism + Insta-relevance. And their timing couldn’t have been better. With domestic travel rebounding and remote work still lingering, they built a product around spontaneity and relatability, not glossy brochures nobody reads anymore.
📍 Spot Check: Their Delhi meet-up point before every departure is usually Majnu ka Tila (that Tibetan momo joint near the monastery), with pitstops around Kashmere Gate Metro. Students from Rajouri Garden and Dwarka swear by their South Campus pickups too. Their collabs often pop up around Kamla Nagar, Lajpat Nagar, and occasionally outside Satyaniketan’s cozy cafés.
The Final Word
Capture A Trip is basically doing what overpriced Delhi cafes failed to do—make young people feel something again. It’s affordable, Instagram-friendly, and 100% designed for the dopamine-deprived Gen Z crowd swiping through travel content between lectures. The only question now is—can they keep delivering memorable trips once the novelty wears off? For now, though, we give it a solid thumbs up. Either way, isn’t it time you finally booked that damn trip to Spiti?
