Who we are

A small team running honest, well-planned journeys across India — nearly a decade in, and 10,000+ travellers later.

  1. I

    Built by travellers, not agents

    We started running these trips because we were tired of being handed a bus ticket and called a package. Every route here is one we've done ourselves, first.

  2. II

    The Himalayas are our backyard

    Our guides aren't hired for the season — they live in these valleys. They know which pass is open, which dhaba is worth stopping at, and when to turn back.

  3. III

    Small groups, on purpose

    We cap every departure. It costs us more and it's the whole point — you get a trip, not a queue.

  4. IV

    Nothing hidden, ever

    The full day-by-day itinerary and the final price are in your hands before you pay a rupee. No surprises at 4,000 metres.

Real words from travellers who've been on the road with us.

4.9· 10,000+ happy travellers
Every stay, every meal, every stop was sorted before we even asked. Kunzum Pass at sunrise is something I'll never forget.
ASAnanya SharmaSummer Spiti Full Circuit
First trek ever and I never once felt out of my depth. The guides paced it perfectly and camp at the top was unreal.
RMRohit MalhotraMcLeodganj & Triund Trek
Booked on a Thursday, was in the mountains by Saturday. Zero chaos, proper homestays, and a group that felt like old friends.
PNPriya NairJibhi & Tirthan Valley
The Rajgundha trek was the highlight. Small group, honest pricing, and no hidden costs at any point.
KDKaran DeolBir – Barot – Rajgundha
Packed a lot into 5 days without it ever feeling rushed. The itinerary PDF they shared upfront was spot on.
SISneha IyerSummer Spiti Short Circuit
Our driver knew every turn of those roads. Felt genuinely safe the whole way, which matters a lot out there.
AVAditya VermaSummer Spiti Full Circuit
As a solo female traveller I felt looked after from pickup to drop. Already planning the Spiti one with them.
