FAQs

How much do these trips typically cost?
Prices range from ₹8,000 to ₹25,000 depending on destination and duration. For example, a 3-day Kasol trek might cost around ₹10,000, while a 4-day Ladakh trip with transport from Delhi could be ₹20,000+. This usually includes accommodation, meals, permits, and a trip leader, but not transport to the starting point.
What is the group size?
We keep groups small, typically 10-15 people, to ensure a personalized experience and minimal impact on the environment. This also makes it easier to bond with fellow travelers.
What is the difficulty level of these trips?
Most trips are beginner-friendly, with treks ranging from easy to moderate. You'll walk 5-10 km per day with light backpacks. Some high-altitude treks in Ladakh require basic fitness. You can always contact us for specific difficulty ratings.
What's included in the trip price?
Inclusions vary by trip, but typically cover accommodation (camps/hotels), meals during the trip, trekking permits, internal transfers, and a professional trip leader. Exclusions are usually transport to the starting point, personal expenses, and travel insurance.
Is it safe to travel during the monsoon season?
Safety is our priority. We choose routes that are accessible and safe during August. For example, Ladakh and Spiti are rain-shadow areas with minimal rainfall. We also monitor weather closely and adjust itineraries if needed. Travel insurance is mandatory.
What is the best time to book these trips?
Book at least 2-3 months in advance, especially for popular destinations like Ladakh and Kasol. Independence Day weekend is peak season, so early booking ensures availability and better prices.
