About WOW Club: women on wanderlust since 2005
WOW Club, Women on Wanderlust, is a community of women who travel the world together. Sumitra Senapaty started it in the summer of 2005 so that women could travel solo, with the security that a group gives.
Our founder, Sumitra Senapaty
“Travel is a change that goes on through life. Which is why I inspire Wanderers to go further than the must-see-must-do and absorb a travel culture that is unique. Women, be Bold. Wander the Universe.”
How WOW began
Sumitra Senapaty is a women’s travel expert and the founder of WOW Club, Women on Wanderlust, a community that has taken women to 90+ destinations the world over.
Much of her earlier travel, as a writer, was on her own: to New Zealand and to different parts of Africa, Asia and Europe. More recently she led a team of women to the White Continent, Antarctica, and was clearly smitten, so there are plans to go back.
On her journeys, Sumitra realised that not all women have the confidence and the knowledge to travel by themselves. In the summer of 2005, she put her energy and passion into starting a club that would encourage women to travel solo, with the security that group travel provides. WOW Club takes pride in the friendships that form within the community, and in being part of them, wherever in the world they are.
With personal knowledge and contacts throughout the world, Sumitra has made sure that WOW trips are high-quality, curated, niche experiences. WOW trips are known for being offbeat, unusual and, of course, memorable. They are also a great way to catch up with old friends and make new ones. A WOW trip means fun, energy, rejuvenation and me-time. It is something every woman must do.

WOW over the years
2005 Ladakh, Our Genesis
Ladakh was where that simple idea turned into something unforgettable. WOW was born in Ladakh with just one trip, one group, and one belief: that women could travel differently, together.
2018 Our very first expedition to Antarctica
Antarctica was unlike anything we’d ever known: vast, silent, and impossibly pure. It was WOW at the edge of the world, standing in stillness, completely awestruck.
2018 Awe and adrenaline at the Iguazu Falls
The water roared and rainbows danced. With rainbows above and thunder beneath, WOW embraced the power of Iguazu up close.
2022 The glaciers of El Calafate, Argentina
El Calafate was where we stood before ancient ice and felt time crack open. We stood there laughing through the cold, camera shutters clicking, etching glaciers into memory.
2023 Christmas Markets of Arctic
The Christmas Markets of the Arctic were all twinkling lights and childlike joy. We laughed through the snow, sipped wine, and made memories that still feel warm.
2024 Everest Base Camp
Everest Base Camp was where WOW met grit, grace, and glacier winds. The climb tested us, but the summit moment? Pure, soul-deep triumph.
2024 Camping in Mongolia
Mongolia reminded us why we wander. Amid open skies, gentle winds, and the quiet comfort of a yurt, we rediscovered the magic of simplicity and the joy of just being.
2025 Amazon Rainforests, Brazil
The Amazon was where the wild felt sacred. Among ancient trees and endless green, WOW walked slower, breathed deeper, and listened more.
2025 WOW met the warm & the wild, Pantanal
In the heart of the Pantanal, WOW slowed down to nature’s rhythm. Between capybaras and canopy shade, we rediscovered quiet joy, soft laughter, and wild-eyed wonder.
2025 Echoes of the Inca & WOW in Peru
Standing among ancient stones and misty peaks, we felt the wonder of Machu Picchu seep into our souls. A bucket-list moment turned memory.
2025 Stories beyond travel, WOW Table Bangalore
Some of the best journeys begin not at the airport, but around a table. Thank you, Bangalore, for the warmth, laughter, and instant sisterhood.
