Coming solo
You will not be the only one.
How rooms work
Shared by default, friends kept together. Room sharing is agreed with you before you pay.
Your first hour
A warm meal and introductions, then shared plans and no-screen games — find the impostor, a mystery round, a jam if someone brings a guitar.
Safety and weather.
Guides on treks
A local guide walks every trek with the group. No experience needed, but you should be fine walking uphill for a few hours.
Plans that bend
If a trail is unsafe, we swap in a shorter guided walk or a rest day. We never push a trek for the plan’s sake.
Before you ask.
How do I book a seat?
Message us on WhatsApp. We send the day-wise plan, final quote, room sharing and cancellation terms in writing. Payment instructions arrive with your confirmed plan; your seat is held once payment clears, and nothing is paid before that.
Do I need to know anyone?
No. You will not be the only solo traveller. Day one ends with a warm meal and introductions, and the shared plans give you an easy way into the group.
What does it cost?
Every trip page shows its price, from ₹5,999 per person. Inclusions and booking terms reach you in writing before you pay.
Where will I sleep?
Clean hostels, guesthouses and small hotels. Rooms are shared by default and friends stay together; room sharing is agreed with you before you pay.
What if the weather turns?
If a trail is unsafe, a guided walk replaces it and you stay closer to base instead. We never push a trek for the plan’s sake.
How hard is the trek?
Expect uneven ground and uphill walking. Treks go ahead only if the weather and trail conditions allow; otherwise a shorter guided walk replaces it. No summit or snowfall guarantee.
What if I need to cancel?
More than 30 days before departure you get everything back except the deposit, which moves to another date within a year. The full slabs are in our booking terms.
Will I get to talk to someone?
Yes. After you pay, there is an intro call with the host and the group. Before that, a call is available if you want one.
No questions match. Try a shorter word, or just ask us on WhatsApp.
