Muhammed Fayis’s path into the world of travel was shaped long before Wayanad Trip Planner LLP came to life. As a geography teacher and curriculum developer, he spent years understanding landscapes, communities, and the delicate relationships between people and places. But beyond the classroom, Fayis lived what he taught—travelling as a backpacker, exploring hidden trails, hiking through remote terrains, and experiencing destinations in their rawest forms.

His passion for the outdoors naturally evolved into a vision to help others experience travel the same way he did—authentically and meaningfully. This vision took shape when he partnered with Blase Jom George to co-found Wayanad Trip Planner LLP. Fayis brought a rare combination of academic insight, field experience, and on-ground exploration, which became a core strength of the company. Together, they transformed Wayanad Trip Planner into a trusted brand for travellers seeking real, local, experience-driven journeys in Wayanad.

Travellers quickly recognised the difference. Many who explored Wayanad through their guidance returned with stories of genuine connection—to nature, culture, and the people who shaped the land. And with every successful trip came the same request: “Where else can we travel with you?”

It was this consistent demand, paired with Fayis’s vast travel experience and deep understanding of landscapes, that inspired the birth of Gotripzee.com. As co-founder, Fayis contributed his expertise in geography, sustainable travel, and trail-based exploration to build a platform that went far beyond packaged tourism. His approach emphasises purposeful travel—journeys that respect the environment, support local communities, and offer travellers a deeper sense of place.

Today, Fayis continues to balance his academic life with his role as co-founder, bringing the precision of an educator, the curiosity of a traveller, and the spirit of a backpacker into every experience Gotripzee’s designs. Whether mapping new routes, advising on destination planning, or ensuring cultural and environmental sensitivity, he plays a vital role in shaping journeys that are grounded in knowledge and enriched by experience.

For Fayis, travel has always been more than movement. It is learning, understanding, and connecting—and he remains committed to creating experiences that allow every traveller to see the world with the same sense of wonder and respect that guides his own journeys.
