How it actually works

Read the trip, send your dates, get a written price. No call centre, no deposit to see a plan, and nothing on this site takes a payment.

How it actually works

Nobody should have to sit through a sales call just to learn what a holiday costs. So we put the plan and the price on the page, and you only talk to us when you have something to talk about.

Read the whole trip

Open any destination and the whole itinerary is on the page — every day, the route, the stay category, the meals. Nothing hidden behind a form you have to fill first.

See the rate before you ask

One figure, per head, on the minimum group stated. Not “starting from”, not “on request”, not a number that doubles once somebody rings you back. The rate we run the trip at.

Send us your dates

Dates and a headcount is all we need to start. Want an extra night, a different city to fly from, or somewhere that is not on this site at all? Write it in — that is what the blank sheet is for.

We come back in writing

Somebody who has been to the place checks what is genuinely open on your dates, then writes back with the final figure. Phone, mail or WhatsApp — your pick, and the written note is what counts.

The five steps, in order

About two minutes of your evening. Nothing is booked, nothing is charged, and no one rings you unless you ask them to.

Read the trip firstOpen any destination and the whole thing is sitting there — day one to the flight home, the route, the stay category, the meals, and the rate per head. You do not have to hand over a phone number to see it.

Or start from nothing at allNot on the list? Type the place in yourself. Coorg, Baku, a wedding in Jaipur with forty people — we plan those the same way, we simply have not written them up here yet.

Tell us when, and how manyRough dates are fine. Say who is travelling — the grandparents who will not manage a 5am start, the toddler, the friend who only wants to eat. It changes what we suggest.

Ask for whatever you want changedAn extra night on the beach. A different city to fly out of. Skip the sightseeing on day three. Write it in the notes box — nobody here will tell you it cannot be done without checking.

A planner comes back in writingOne of us checks what is actually open for your dates — hotels, seats, permits — and replies with the final figure in writing, on WhatsApp, mail or the phone. That written note is the one that counts.

Arriving from a destination page? The planner opens with that trip already filled in — you only need the dates and the headcount.

What that rate actually covers

Every trip on this site is a land package. Here is the honest split of what sits inside the figure and what does not.

Where you sleep

Every night of the trip, in the stay category written into that itinerary, on two sharing a room. Triple and single occupancy work out differently — a planner will tell you by how much.

The days themselves

The sightseeing and the ferries, boats or jeeps named in the day-wise plan — and the meals that plan specifies. Read it and you know exactly how each day goes.

Getting there

Airfare and visa sit outside the rate unless a trip says otherwise. We quote them alongside so you see two clean numbers instead of one confusing one, and you are free to book flights yourself.

The minimum group

Each rate is quoted on a minimum number of adults travelling together — four on most trips, more on a few. Fewer than that and the per-head figure moves; we will requote rather than surprise you later.
