How it works

Four Steps, No Group Chat Politics

  1. Pick a departure

    Two are open right now. Read the day-by-day and check the dates against your leave — that is the whole decision.

  2. Pay the advance

    A few thousand rupees holds your seat. The balance is due 14 days before you go, not a day sooner.

  3. Meet the group

    About three weeks out you land in the trip's WhatsApp group. Packing lists, plans, and roughly four hundred messages.

  4. Turn up

    Reach the meeting point with a bag and an ID. From there the itinerary is the captain's problem, not yours.

Why strangers

Twenty People. One Bus. No Prior Introductions.

The trips are good. The reason people book a second one is the twenty other people who were on the first.

You will know nobody

That is the product, not a side effect. Every seat is sold to one person, so day one is twenty strangers and day three is a group chat nobody can mute.

Solo is the normal way

Around eight in ten seats are booked by someone travelling alone. Turning up by yourself is not the brave option here — it is the default one.

A captain travels with you

Two of our crew are on the trip start to finish — holding the permits, the bookings and the one person who has lost their ID.

Fixed price, nothing to haggle

The dates are set and the price is on the card. Everything under Inclusions is already paid for before you leave home.

Small groups, real names

Twenty to twenty-four people, never sixty. Small enough that by the second evening you know who snores and who does not eat fish.

Safe by default

Same-gender rooms unless you ask otherwise, stays we have slept in ourselves, and a number that answers at three in the morning.

“Khardung La at sunrise still doesn't feel real. Every logistic detail was sorted before we even landed in Leh.”

“Booked the honeymoon package on a whim. The villa, the private dinner, the transfers — nothing left for us to figure out.”

“Travelled solo for the first time and never once felt unsafe or unsure. Met three people from the group I still talk to.”

“Ten of us, zero fights over logistics. That alone is worth booking through Cholo Yaar again.”
