Great trip, long drive✫ 4
The destination and the organisation were both excellent. Only gripe is the overnight drive — bring a neck pillow and don't expect much sleep on the ghat road.
Fine, but the food was repetitive✫ 3
No complaints about safety or logistics, and the stay was decent. Three meals of the same menu got old though, and one viewpoint was skipped because we ran late.
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.
