General FAQs

There is no pre-defined age limit. Anyone who can travel with an open mind, who can socialize in a group, and has minimum fitness needed for the trek/trip can join irrespective of the age.

4.What type of transport do we use?

We take typical tourist vehicles like tempo traveler, mini-bus, Innova, Sumo, etc. which are good to travel to every nook and corner of India. Most of our places are offbeat with bad roads, deep into the mountains or valleys. So this mode of traveling suits best for us.

Note that these vehicles won’t provide the luxury of a sleeper or semi-sleeper buses which are meant for point-to-point travel between cities.

5.What is the group size for a trip?

The typical group size is 10 to 12 travelers. However, based on the popularity of the destination or the rush on a given weekend, the group size may increase to 20 to 30 travelers.
Note that the capacity of homestay or campsite also plays a part in group size. Places like Gokarna, Dandeli, etc. can accommodate more people.

6.Will the trek be difficult for a first-time trekker?
