Back in their college days in Calicut, Mohammad Thaha Paloli, Jethin Krishna, and Fazil shared a common love for adventure. Their passion for exploration led them to organize unique college trips that quickly gained popularity for their distinctive experiences. Fast forward to 2017, the trio translated this passion into a full-fledged venture, giving birth to 'Tentgram'.

Transcending College Days Into a Thriving Venture

From organizing college trips to founding Tentgram, the trio's journey showcases how a simple college idea can evolve into a successful business venture. Driven by their desire to create something remarkable, they set out to revolutionize the travel industry by offering experiential stays, tent accommodations, and budget-friendly trips to various destinations across India.

A Way of Discovering Inaccessible Places

What sets Tentgram apart is its focus on creating personalized and experiential travel opportunities. Their trips offer unique activities like stargazing, stream treks, and off-road hikes, providing guests with unforgettable moments.
