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.

“Winter Spiti is not for everyone but they made it feel safe the whole way. Homestays were warm, food was hot, and nobody rushed us at the viewpoints.”
NRNikita RaoWinter Spiti Valley 6N7D Trip
“The Rajgundha trek was the highlight. Small group, honest pricing, and no hidden costs at any point.”
KDKaran DeolBir – Barot – Rajgundha
“First trek and I was nervous. The group was small, the guide checked on everyone, and camp at Triund under the stars made the climb worth it.”
IBIshita BansalMcLeodganj & Triund Trek
“Full circuit in 6N/7D sounds tight but the itinerary is built well. Key Monastery in the morning light is something else. Zero hidden costs at any point.”
SKSahil KapoorSpiti Valley Full Circuit with Chandratal
“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
“Booked four days before leaving and everything was still sorted. Proper homestays, clean rooms, and a group that felt like old friends by day two.”
SPShreya PillaiJibhi & Tirthan Valley
“Went solo and came back with a group of friends. Honest pricing, no upselling, and the captains genuinely care about the places they take you to.”
VSVarun SethiSpiti Short Circuit with Chandratal
“Did the short circuit over a long weekend and it was paced perfectly. Chandratal at sunrise is worth every bit of the drive. Captains knew every turn of that road.”
AMArjun MehtaSpiti Short Circuit with Chandratal
“Crossed over to Spiti in peak winter and the road conditions were handled brilliantly. Langza and Hikkim in the snow are unreal.”
MGManav GroverWinter Spiti Valley 6N7D Trip
“Rajgundha is still untouched and I hope it stays that way. Paragliding at Bir was smooth and the team handled all the bookings for us.”
