Before you book

Can I change this itinerary?

Yes. Every journey is a starting point. We can add or remove days, change hotels, swap places or slow the pace. Tell us what you have in mind and we will rework it.

How much does this journey cost?

Prices depend on your travel dates, hotel category and group size, so we quote each trip individually. Message us on WhatsApp and we will send an itemised price, usually within a few hours.

Where does the journey start and end?

Most journeys start and end in Delhi, Chandigarh or Dehradun. We can also pick you up from any airport, railway station or hotel along the route.

What kind of vehicle will we travel in?

A private, well-maintained car or tempo traveller with an experienced hill driver, chosen for your group size. The vehicle stays with you for the whole journey.

How do I book, and how do payments work?

A part payment confirms your booking, and the balance is due before the trip starts. Our cancellation policy sets out exactly what is refunded if your plans change.

What happens if bad weather closes a road?

Mountain roads sometimes close for snow or landslides. Our team tracks conditions daily and reroutes or reschedules so you lose as little of your trip as possible.
