Activities we build into your itinerary

Rishikesh is India's best-known river rafting stretch, with runs typically starting around Brahmpuri, Shivpuri or Marine Drive depending on how long a run your group wants. Rapids range from gentle grade I to a more exciting grade III, so a first-timer group and a group that's rafted before can both find a stretch that fits.

We book this through licensed local rafting operators and build it into your Rishikesh itinerary alongside your stay and transport, so it's one coordinated plan rather than a separate booking you have to chase down yourself.

Bir Billing, a couple of hours from Dharamshala, is where a lot of India's serious paragliding happens, tandem flights included, so you don't need any prior experience. Solang Valley near Manali runs shorter tandem flights too, when weather and season allow, and is the easier add-on if your main trip is already Manali-based.

We coordinate tandem flights with certified local operators as an add-on to a Himachal itinerary. Timing depends heavily on weather on the day, operators will call it off rather than fly in unsafe conditions, and we'll tell you that honestly upfront rather than promise a guaranteed flight.

Himachal has trekking for every fitness level. Kheerganga, out of Kasol, is the most popular day-or-overnight trek for groups new to trekking. Triund, near McLeod Ganj, is a similarly approachable overnight trek with strong Dhauladhar range views. For groups wanting more, routes around Tirthan Valley and further into Spiti go multi-day.

We build trekking days into a Himachal itinerary with local guides where needed, and we'll be upfront about which treks suit a casual group versus which need real fitness and planning.

The Sam sand dunes outside Jaisalmer are the classic Rajasthan desert experience: a camel or jeep safari into the dunes for sunset, then a desert camp for the night with a Rajasthani folk performance and dinner around a bonfire.

This is one of the most requested add-ons on any Jaisalmer itinerary and we build it in as standard for most Jaisalmer trips rather than treating it as an optional extra, since it's genuinely the highlight for most first-time visitors.

Calangute and Baga are the main water sports hubs in North Goa, with jet skiing, parasailing, banana boat rides and similar activities run by licensed local operators on the beach. It's usually a same-day, no-advance-booking activity, but we can pre-arrange it as part of a group itinerary so your group isn't negotiating individually on the sand.

An overnight stay on a traditional Kerala houseboat, cruising the Alleppey backwaters with meals cooked on board, is the single most requested part of any Kerala itinerary. Houseboats range from simple to premium air-conditioned options depending on your group's budget.
