The Story of TraRail :

Today, TraRail has become one of Gujarat’s most trusted travel partners, successfully operating 15–20 tours every month. But the journey to this milestone has been one of struggle, passion, and hard work.

Manas Upadhyay, the founder of TraRail, was born in a small village named Kodinar, located near the Gir Forest. Since childhood, he had a deep love for nature and traveling. Driven by this passion, he explored the entire country by the age of just 25.

In 2017, when the internet became affordable and travel vlogs started trending on YouTube, Mr. Manas launched his YouTube channel by creating railway travel vlogs. Combining his love for travel and railways, he coined the name “TraRail.”

By 2020, he began documenting journey vlogs, which quickly gained popularity. What started as a struggle soon turned into success. TraRail’s YouTube community grew to over 26,000 subscribers, and many of its videos crossed a million views, helping countless tourists planning to visit Gujarat.

There’s hardly a place in Gujarat that Mr. Manas hasn’t explored.

With time and experience, a thought emerged:
"How can we provide the best guidance to travelers coming to Gujarat?" This very thought led to the foundation of TraRail Tours.

On the auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima 2024, after seeking blessings at Shree Kashtbhanjan Dev Temple in Salangpur, TraRail Tours was officially launched.

Thanks to excellent teamwork, strategic planning, and field experience, over 30 tours were completed in just 4 months. And within 6 months, TraRail started receiving more than 30 bookings every month!

Today, TraRail stands as a symbol of trust and success.

We continue to learn and improve every day so we can offer you even smoother and more enriching travel experiences in the days to come.
