Hello travellers! I’m Mayank Upadhyay, the person behind Clan Stays. Born and brought up in Nainital, Uttarakhand, I completed my graduation (B.Tech from UIT, Dehradun) and post-graduation (MBA from IMS Unison, Dehradun), which gave me the opportunity to explore both the Garhwal and Kumaon regions on my own. This is why I know Uttarakhand deeply not just the main routes, but also every hidden corner and secret spot.
With over 10 years of experience in the travel industry, including working as a Business Development Manager at MakeMyTrip, I combined my professional expertise with local knowledge to create Clan Stays.
So far, we have helped over 500+ families explore Uttarakhand, and through these experiences, I’ve learned that travel isn’t just about providing good hotels or transportation, it’s about staying connected with travellers and helping them design their journey exactly the way they want it. Every trip should be an experience, not just a movement from one place to another, and at Clan Stays, we make sure every traveller enjoys their Uttarakhand adventure to the fullest.
I believe every traveller deserves honest guidance. It doesn’t matter if you are from India or from anywhere in the world, every guest is equally important to me.
That’s why I always give genuine suggestions about when and where to travel.
No filters, no confusion, only real advice based on the best time and season to explore each place.
For me, travel should be joyful, easy, and stress-free, I keep my tips clear and simple so you can discover every destination at the right time and enjoy it in the most beautiful way.
