Beautiful, and well run✫ 5
Sunrise was worth the 4 am start. Everything from pickup to drop was on schedule and the WhatsApp group before the trip made it easy to settle in.
Worth every rupee✫ 5
Stay was clean, food was proper home-cooked local stuff, and the itinerary had enough slack that we weren't rushing between viewpoints. Would book with them again.
Good to know
Is this trip solo-friendly?
Yes — most people on our departures book solo. You'll be added to the group WhatsApp three days before departure, and the trip captain handles introductions on the bus.
What's the group size?
Departures are capped, and the exact number is on the booking page. Anything above 20 runs with two captains.
Can I get a refund if I cancel?
Refunds follow the cancellation policy shown on the departure — 90% up to 15 days before, 50% up to 7 days, nothing inside 72 hours.
