Tour Packages

Ready-to-Flow Experiences are journeys we have already routed and published. Each one has a fixed route, a set number of days and a season it is built for. You can take one as it stands, or start from it and change what you need.

Ready-to-Flow Experiences

Where the ready-made journeys go

Our published journeys run across Ladakh, Spiti, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Kerala, Karnataka, Goa, Odisha, Jharkhand, Sikkim, Darjeeling, West Bengal, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya and Bhutan. Most run between five and fourteen days. You can browse them by destination, with the stories we have written about each place alongside.

What each journey page tells you

Every journey page sets out the route day by day, the places you stay, the season it suits and what is included. The driving has been worked out in hours, not drawn as a line on a map. You know before you book how much of each day is spent on the road and how much is spent somewhere.

Journeys built around a festival or a season

Some of these journeys exist because of a date. Our eleven-day Spiti journey is timed to the Ladarcha fair at Kaza, once a trading fair on the old Himalayan routes. Our eight-day Kumaon journey is timed to Phool Dei, the spring festival when children leave flowers at the doors of their neighbours. Arriving on those dates means seeing a place living its own life.

Others follow the weather. Both of our Ladakh journeys run from May to October, when the passes are open. A route that works in one month can fail in another, so each journey is published for the season it was built for.

Changing a ready-made journey

You can start from a published route and change it. Add a night, drop a stop, move the dates or choose a different standard of room. A changed journey becomes a custom one, planned the same way as a journey built from scratch. The only difference is where the planning started.

Short breaks and weekend trips

Not every ready-made journey is long. Some of the shorter routes work as a long weekend, and any of them can be cut down to fit fewer days. Tell us how many nights you have and we will tell you which route suits it, or how to shorten one that does not.

Who plans and runs these journeys

The same team that plans our custom journeys plans and runs these. We use local hosts, family run stays and guides from the area wherever they exist. When something goes wrong on the road, you reach a person who knows the route, not a call centre.
