From gorgeous mountain views to bonfires, this Manali Creator Connect hosted at Moustache Escapes reminded us why travel is better done together. Held from 17–19 January 2026 at Moustache Escapes, Manali, the three-day retreat brought together over 50 travel and lifestyle creators from across North India, along with a passionate biker community that rode in from Delhi. The result was not just content creation, but connection in its truest sense.
At Explurger, community has always been at the heart of how travel is explored and shared. Creator Connects are designed to move beyond screens, algorithms, and deliverables, creating real-world spaces where creators, travellers, and brands come together organically. The Manali edition reflected this philosophy perfectly, blending slow travel, local exploration, and shared moments into an experience that creators could genuinely call their own.
The setting played a key role in shaping the experience. Moustache Escapes, our stay partner for the Manali Creator Connect, offered more than just a place to check in. With its social design, open common areas, and relaxed mountain vibe, the property naturally encouraged interaction. Whether it was creators striking up conversations over lunch, exchanging travel stories during high tea, or unwinding together after a long day of exploration, the space supported exactly what Creator Connects are meant to do: bring people closer.
More Than Content: Why Community Comes First
While the Manali Creator Connect resulted in a strong wave of organic content across platforms, the real success lay in the engagement behind it. Creators were actively interacting with each other’s posts, tagging locations, revisiting shared moments, and continuing conversations even after the event ended.
This is precisely why brands choose to partner with Explurger. Our creator engagements are built on trust, shared experiences, and genuine interest in travel. When creators are part of a community rather than a campaign, the content they create resonates more deeply with their audiences.
At Explurger, we believe that authentic engagement cannot be forced. It grows naturally when creators are given the freedom to explore, connect, and tell stories in their own voice. Creator Connects are an extension of this belief, taking digital relationships offline and turning them into meaningful human connections.
