Our Christmas and New Trips are special because they happen only once a year and cover lots of places in a particular destination. A regular celebration would only last one or two days but since these trips last 10 days, travelers get to create memories and bonds that will last a lifetime. 

Our special Christmas and New year trips such as the Himachal Explorer Edition, Uttarakhand Explorer Edition, and Christmas and New year special Spiti 4x4 expedition, all last for 10 days. You can opt for other shorter trips as well including weekend getaways and treks.  

Our Christmas and New year trips such as the Himachal explorer edition, Uttarakhand explorer edition, etc are specially curated around the festive season in a way that travelers can celebrate both Christmas and New year in a single trip. Apart from that, our special trips only happen once a year and there is only one exclusive batch for these trips. 

These trips also have additional inclusions such as complimentary cake, snacks, DJ, bonfire, and more.

The batches of our Himalayan winter treks like Kedarkantha, Kuari Pass, Dayara Bugyal, and Brahmatal depart around the festive season. If you’re someone who wishes to start your new year by conquering a summit, indulging in some cake at a campsite under starry skies, and meeting strangers who’d turn into family, then you can definitely opt for any of these treks.

As a community that has always encouraged female travelers to explore more and has always strived to provide a safe platform for them, we can proudly say that our trips and treks are not only safe but are also curated by keeping in mind the ratio of female travelers that travel with us on an average, which makes the entire experience smooth and more enjoyable. 

We have a 2:3 female-to male-ratio when it comes to travelers and often the ratio can also be 3:2 as it keeps varying. 

We’ve female trip captains who have been leading groups for years skilfully and are always there to look out for other female travelers.  A female traveler, solo or otherwise has nothing to worry about. 

Depending on the destination that you are traveling to, we share an extensive list of things you need to carry on your trips. Some of the essentials that you must carry are your documents (ID proof, Drivers license, etc), a medical kit with all your personal medications and medicines for nausea, headache, etc as well.
