Age Is Just a Ticket Number: Why Women in Their 50s and 60s Make the Best Travellers
“Adventure doesn’t ask your age — it waits for your ‘yes’.”
Over the past decade, more than 500 women in their 50s and 60s have travelled with Jugni — across continents, seasons, and stories.
Each one has carried something special — courage, humour, calmness, and an energy that instantly changes the group’s rhythm.
When we first started Jugni, we expected mostly young explorers — first-time solo travellers looking for a safe group. But soon, we began seeing something extraordinary:
Women in their 50s, 60s, and even 70s were signing up.
And they weren’t just joining trips — they were defining them.
These women bring grace where there’s excitement, laughter where there’s silence, and wisdom where there’s chaos. They remind everyone — travel has no expiry date.
Meet Jyoti — The Calm Heart of Every Journey
Jyoti has travelled with Jugni more than five times — from Bhutan’s misty hills to the golden beaches of Sri Lanka. She carries her insulin on every trip, yet never complains.
She’s calm, cheerful, and effortlessly adaptable — the kind of traveller who helps balance the group when energy runs high. At first, younger travellers sometimes think, “Oh, there’s someone older in our group — maybe it’ll be a slow trip.”
But within a day, Jyoti’s spirit changes everything. She laughs the loudest, walks the farthest, and makes sure everyone’s safe and comfortable.
Her secret?
She travels not to escape her life, but to celebrate it.
When you travel with Jyoti, you realise that maturity doesn’t mean missing out on fun — it means having the wisdom to truly enjoy it.
Nalini from Jaipur — The Mother Teresa of Travel
And then there’s Nalini.
At 75, she’s done over 75 countries — from Sri Lanka to Vietnam — and is now joining Jugni for the New Year’s trip to Thailand.
When Nalini joins a group, she doesn’t just bring a suitcase — she brings sunshine.
She remembers everyone’s name by Day 2, keeps the group laughing through long drives, and encourages the shyest travellers to dance by Day 3.
Her presence is so powerful that we often call her the Mother Teresa of Travel.
Because she doesn’t travel for photos or checklists — she travels for connection.
Her energy reminds the younger Jugnis that you don’t travel to prove something.
You travel to feel something.
What These Women Teach Us
Women like Jyoti and Nalini aren’t exceptions — they are examples.
They teach us that adventure doesn’t belong to the young — it belongs to the curious.
They remind us that:
- The best travel companions aren’t defined by age, but by attitude.
- Experience adds depth — to conversations, to photos, to memories.
- Calmness is a superpower on the road.
When the high energy of 25-year-olds meets the wisdom of 60-year-olds, magic happens.
The group finds balance — laughter blends with patience, and chaos turns into companionship.
That’s when Jugni trips stop feeling like “tours” and start feeling like family.
Travelling After 50 — For Yourself, Not for Anyone Else
There’s something sacred about travelling after 50.
You’ve spent decades taking care of others — now you finally have time to take care of your wonder.
You no longer travel for Instagram posts or bucket lists.
You travel for peace, for friendship, for stories.
You start noticing things differently:
The silence of a mountain morning, the taste of local tea, the sound of laughter in a new city.
You don’t rush anymore — because you finally understand that journeys are meant to be felt, not finished.
At this age, you stop collecting souvenirs — you start collecting moments.
Jugni’s Promise to Every Woman Over 50
At Jugni, we’ve built every trip with inclusivity in mind.
Our itineraries are not just about “how far we go,” but “how beautifully we go.”
We make sure every woman — regardless of age — feels seen, safe, and celebrated.
You’ll never feel left behind. You’ll never feel like you don’t belong.
Whether it’s walking through Morocco’s blue lanes, sipping coffee in Italy, or spotting leopards in Jaipur, you’ll always have your Jugni crew — young hearts, old souls, one tribe.
We’ve watched 25-year-olds share scarves with 70-year-olds, and 60-year-olds teaching dance moves to Gen Zs.
That’s Jugni magic — age doesn’t divide us, it completes us.
To the Jugnis Who Keep Us Young
To every woman who thought, “Maybe I’m too old for this,” we say — look at Jyoti, look at Nalini.
They’ve shown us that your body might age, but your curiosity doesn’t.
You’ve built lives, raised families, worked hard, and kept going through everything life threw at you.
Now it’s your turn to live the stories you’ve always dreamed of.
Because age isn’t a reason to stop travelling — it’s the reason to start again.
You finally have the wisdom to travel not for the world’s approval, but for your own joy.
So here’s to the Jugnis in their 50s, 60s, and 70s —
to the brave hearts who pack laughter, medicine, and dreams in the same bag.
Because you remind us, every single trip, that age is just a ticket number.
