Tempo Traveller (group size 7 or more):

👉 But please remember you have to carry it from vehicle to your room everywhere. There is no Porter service for any of our trips.
👉 Distance wise, we will be covering 1000+ kilometers in 6 days. But since most of the journey is through the curvy roads of Himalayan mountains, the journeys can be tiring. Having said that, the BRO (Border Roads Organization) has done a fantastic job to build and maintain roads in the best possible way.
