Three ways to host on SOL

Group experiences on fixed dates for small cohorts of like-minded travelers.

Host Discovery

Be found by travelers seeking a local expert to plan or guide their visit.

Tea estate in Darjeeling

Local at the center

You know this place better than anyone.

Travelers come to the Himalayas for the mountains. They stay for the people. SOL builds the platform so your knowledge, your relationships, and your way of experiencing your home can reach the guests who deserve it.

"Only 5–10% of tourist spending stays in the destination they visit."

World Economic Forum — SOL is built to change this.

  • Tourism revenue flows directly to you and your community
  • No agencies taking 25% before you see a rupee
  • Travelers come pre-informed, reducing friction on arrival
