Captain made the trip✫ 5
Our trip lead knew every trail, every tea shop and every shortcut. Also handled a twisted ankle in the group calmly, which says more than any itinerary.
Would recommend to solo women✫ 5
Female trip lead, verified stay, and the group was respectful throughout. Felt safe the entire trip, including the night trek portion.
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.
How fit do I need to be?
This is a moderate route. If you can walk 5 km without stopping you'll manage; start climbing stairs a few weeks before if you want to enjoy it rather than survive it.
