Plan Your Trip

Best Time to Visit

Late December to early January. Book by October if you want to secure spots for Christmas or NYE departures, as these are the most sold-out dates of the year. Expect heavy snow in Himachal and clear, crisp weather in the Northeast.

Travel Tips
1Book at least 2 months ahead; NYE trips sell out fast and flight prices double.
2Pack serious winter gear for Himachal trips; sub-zero temperatures are guaranteed.
3Carry enough cash. ATMs in Kasol, Spiti, and remote Meghalaya often run dry during NYE.
4Expect traffic jams near Atal Tunnel and Manali during Christmas week.
5Embrace the group vibe. You'll be ringing in the new year with 15-20 strangers.
6For a quieter NYE, pick Meghalaya over Manali or Goa.

FAQs

How much does a typical New Year group trip cost?
Expect to pay around ₹14,000 to ₹25,000 for a 4 to 7-day trip, depending on the destination. Our average is ₹19,378, which usually covers stays, transport, and some meals.
Are these trips safe for solo female travelers?
Yes. Group trips are heavily vetted, led by experienced captains, and usually have a 40:60 or 50:50 gender ratio. You'll be paired with another female traveler for room sharing.
Will there be a dedicated New Year party?
Most trips include a modest NYE celebration—think bonfires, acoustic music, and a special dinner at the campsite or homestay, rather than a massive clubbing event.
Is it going to be too crowded in Manali or Kasol?
Honestly, yes. Christmas and NYE are peak seasons. Expect traffic delays. If you hate crowds, opt for our Meghalaya or Kaziranga itineraries instead.
What is the average group size?
Usually between 12 to 25 people per batch. It's large enough to find your vibe but small enough to fit in a tempo traveler.
Do I need to be super fit for these trips?
For standard backpacking trips to Manali or Meghalaya, basic fitness is fine. If you're picking the Kedarkantha winter trek, you'll need cardio prep for steep snow climbs.
