Started with a spreadsheet, still runs on the same principle
In 2019, our founder Naina was planning a trip to Petra for the fourth time — this time for a friend rather than herself — and realised she'd been giving the same corrections to every glossy guide she found online: wrong opening times, outdated permit rules, camps that had quietly changed hands and gone downhill. She started keeping a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet became a blog. The blog became TRIPNNEST.
The rule has stayed the same since day one: nothing goes on the site until someone from the team has actually been. That's slower than most travel content operations, and it's also why people keep coming back to double-check a date before they book.
What we won't do
We don't take payment to feature a destination, camp or hotel, and we don't run affiliate content dressed up as a recommendation. If something's on the site, it's because we'd send our own family there.
