I booked my first solo trip with Justwravel for the Uttarakhand backpacking trip and it turned out to be an experience for a lifetime!
A huge shoutout to the trip leaders Abhishek Bisht and Adarsh Sharma for ensuring we enjoyed throughout the trip and making it a point to make us feel comfortable.
A special mention to the chef at the Chopta base camp! Not only he cooked us great meals throughout our stay there, but also was very welcoming and joyful.

Winter Spiti:
Spiti is an absolutely stunning place. I’m so so glad I got to witness this with JustWravel, who made it an unforgettable experience. The itinerary covered all the right places and got to learn so much. Our batch (May 3rd) was a fun bunch which enhanced the experience and trip more! New people, places and memories, definitely a good time! A huge shoutout to Rohit and Abhishek, our trip captains for being so patient, understanding and more importantly carried out the trip smoothly and efficiently. Not to forget the games and interactive sessions! Cheers!
Uttarakhand:
Solo trips can be overwhelming. Although, JustWravel did not make me feel like that. I recently went to the Uttarakhand Backpacking Trip, the 23rd March batch. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire trip, with new people and friends, new places and new adventures as well as experiences. The trip captains were Abhishek and Adarsh, who carried out the trip smoothly and effectively to give us the best times! The Tungnath Temple trek was just too brilliant and the river rafting was the bestest. Do not hesitate to consider. The entire group became like a family. Thank you for the experience!

I took Uttarakhand backpacking trip for Chopta, chadrashila,Jim Corbet and Rishikesh.What an experience it was. After a lot of thought, I had booked my first solo trip with JustWravel and I think it was the best experience of my life. I ended up creating such beautiful memories and great friends. Our trip captain Ramneek was so responsible, patient and cooperative that nobody can ask more.Ramneek was man of the match who helped everyone to get safely down from Chandrashila as so much snowy path was there.Ramneek has taken care of to book my Bungy jumping and not just that he motivated as well so that I did it confidently at 1st attempt which was my life’s 1st wonderful experience .
It was a hassle free trip, all the travel and hotel bookings were in place, the food was great and on time.
Looking forward for more such amazing experiences with JustWravel.
