Adventure Tour Package

The Hampta Pass Trek is accessible to fit beginners but should not be underestimated. It is graded moderate - the first two days are manageable for most trekkers with reasonable fitness, but Day 3 (summit day) is genuinely demanding: a 9 km trek over 8-10 hours, steep ascent to 14,100 ft, and a steep technical descent on the other side. Prior trekking experience at altitude - even just one or two shorter Himalayan treks - significantly improves the summit day experience. If this is your first Himalayan trek, ensure 4-6 weeks of solid physical preparation.

The dramatic crossover - the shift from the lush, monsoon-fed Kullu Valley to the stark cold desert of Lahaul within a single day of trekking - is what makes Hampta Pass genuinely unique. Most Himalayan treks show you one type of terrain. Hampta Pass shows you two completely different ecosystems, two different geological worlds, separated by a single mountain pass. It is the most visually diverse short trek in Himachal Pradesh. Add Chandratal Lake at the end, and you have an experience that encompasses forests, meadows, river crossings, snowfields, a high pass, a cold desert, and one of India's most beautiful alpine lakes - all within five days.

Yes - and multiple permits are required. The trail passes through Inderkilla National Park, which requires a Forest Entry Permit from the Forest Department office in Manali. For the full route ending at Chhatru with a Chandratal visit, a vehicle permit is needed to cross the Rohtang/Jobra checkpost and a separate permit for Chandratal Lake entry. TripToOcean handles all permit arrangements as part of the package. Carry a valid government photo ID at all times.

Chandratal (4,250m) - literally "Moon Lake" - is a crescent-shaped glacial lake in the Spiti Valley, approximately 50 km by road from Chhatru. Its colour is an extraordinary shifting turquoise that changes through the day, its surroundings are bare desert mountains, and its silence is absolute. Hindu mythology connects it to the Mahabharata. It has Ramsar wetland protected status. Yes, it is absolutely worth the drive - for most trekkers, the first sight of Chandratal is the single most visually stunning moment of the entire trek. The visit is subject to road and weather conditions; TripToOcean will always attempt to include it.

Yes - the Beas Kund Trek is one of the most recommended first high-altitude treks in Himachal Pradesh. The altitude gain is gradual across four days, the trails are well-defined, and the maximum altitude of 3,700m is achievable for most healthy adults without acclimatisation concerns. The daily walking time is 4-6 hours at a steady pace. If you can comfortably walk 8-10 km on flat ground, you can do this trek with proper preparation.

The highest point is Beas Kund lake at approximately 3,700 metres (12,139 ft). At this altitude, some trekkers may experience mild symptoms - headache, breathlessness, fatigue - particularly if they have not spent a night at Manali's altitude (2,050m) before starting. TriptoOcean strongly recommends arriving in Manali one day before the trek to acclimatise overnight. The gradual ascent over four days is specifically designed to minimise altitude-related issues.

The Beas Kund Trek offers some of the finest base-to-summit mountain views available on any short Himalayan trek. Visible peaks include Friendship Peak (5,289m), Hanuman Tibba (5,982m), Shitidhar (5,120m), Ladakhi Peak (5,345m), the Seven Sisters range, Deo Tibba (6,001m), and Indrasan (6,221m). The setting at Beas Kund itself - completely enclosed by the Pir Panjal peaks - is one of the most dramatic mountain amphitheatres in the Kullu Valley.

The lake is named after Rishi Vyas (also Maharishi Vyasa or Veda Vyasa) - the revered Hindu sage credited with composing the Mahabharata, organising the Vedas, and authoring the Puranas. According to local legend, the sage meditated here and is said to have bathed in this glacial lake during his time in the Kullu Valley. The word "Beas" itself derives from "Vyas," and the river that originates at this lake carries his name throughout its course. The lake holds active religious significance for local communities in the Kullu valley.

Yes - the Triund Trek is one of the best beginner treks in India for precisely this reason. The trail is well-marked, tea stalls operate at regular intervals to rest and refuel, and the total distance of 9 km is manageable for anyone with a basic level of fitness. The last 2 km before the ridge is steeper than the rest, but it is not technically difficult. Take your time, walk at your own pace, and you will get there.

You don't need to be an athlete. If you can comfortably walk 8-10 km on relatively flat ground, you can do the Triund Trek. A slight additional challenge comes from the sustained incline and the altitude, so regular walkers and people who take the stairs rather than the lift will find it more comfortable. If you have not been active recently, a week or two of regular walks before the trek is a sensible preparation.

Triund sits at 2,850 metres (9,350 feet) above sea level. At this altitude, the risk of acute altitude sickness (AMS) is minimal for most people coming from Indian cities. Some trekkers may experience mild headaches or breathlessness, especially on the steeper sections - the remedy is simply to slow down, breathe deeply, and hydrate well. No acclimatisation days are needed for the Triund Trek.

No permit is required for the Triund Trek itself. However, all trekkers must register at the Gallu Devi Temple checkpoint at the trailhead, where ID proof is recorded and bags are checked for plastic. Carry a valid government photo ID (Aadhaar card or passport). If you plan to continue beyond Triund to Indrahar Pass or Snowline, a forest department permit is required. TripToOcean handles all checkpoint documentation for our trekkers.

Yes, completely.

The Ghandruk Trek is widely regarded as one of the most beginner-friendly treks in the entire Himalayan region. The maximum altitude is just 2,012 metres - well below the threshold for altitude sickness. The daily trekking distance is moderate, the trails are well-marked and well-maintained, and teahouses provide warm meals and comfortable beds along the route. If you can manage a brisk 4-6 hour walk on uneven terrain, you can complete this trek comfortably.

The risk is virtually zero. At a maximum elevation of 2,012 metres, Ghandruk sits well below the 3,000-metre threshold where altitude sickness typically begins. This is one of the main reasons the trek is recommended for families, senior travellers, and anyone who wants a Himalayan experience without the medical concerns of higher-altitude routes like Annapurna Base Camp or Everest Base Camp.

Two permits are required: the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP) and the Trekkers Information Management System (TIMS) card. Both are included in the TriptoOcean package price. You don't need to arrange these yourself - your guide team handles everything.

Yes. The Ghandruk Trek is one of the few Himalayan treks genuinely suitable for children. The moderate trail, low altitude, and availability of teahouse accommodation makes it a viable family adventure. Porters can help carry children's backpacks, and the pace is fully adjustable to group needs.

No experience whatsoever is required. The Bali ATV Ride Adventure is specifically designed for first-time riders, and the majority of guests on any given day are doing this for the first time.
he activity begins with a thorough safety briefing and a 10-15 minute practice circuit on flat ground before the main trail begins. our certified instructor is alongside throughout - adjusting the pace, pointing out terrain ahead, and providing individual coaching to anyone who needs it. Guests regularly describe this as "the best activity of their Bali trip" despite having never ridden a quad bike before.

Wear clothing you are entirely comfortable getting very muddy and potentially wet. This is not a guideline, it is a certainty. Long trousers (not shorts) and a long-sleeved top provide the best skin protection from mud splash and sun exposure. Closed-toe shoes or sturdy trainers are required, the facility provides rubber boots, but wearing socks beneath them is recommended.
Bring a complete change of clothes for after the shower. Apply sunscreen comprehensively before leaving the hotel reapplication during the ride is impractical. A small backpack with your change of clothes and sunscreen goes into the locker before you ride. Leave jewellery, watches, and sunglasses that you care about at the hotel - mud is democratic and respectful of nothing.

Children aged 5 and above can participate as tandem passengers on the same quad bike as an adult driver - seated behind the adult, secured, and able to enjoy the full experience. For solo riding (controlling their own quad), different operators set minimum ages between 6 and 15 years depending on their insurance policy - TriptoOcean will confirm the specific policy for your activity slot at booking. The maximum age covered by ATV insurance is 65 years.
Children under 5 are not covered by the standard ATV insurance - contact us to discuss specific arrangements. The tandem option is the most popular choice for families with children aged 5-12, as it allows the child to share the full adventure experience safely.

Yes. The ATV ride is a managed adventure activity with comprehensive safety systems in place. Quad bikes are four-wheeled vehicles with inherently better stability than motorcycles and are specifically designed for off-road terrain. All bikes undergo pre-ride mechanical inspection. ATV insurance coverage is provided for all participants aged 5-65.
Every participant wears a fitted helmet and rubber boots. The certified instructor accompanies the convoy throughout and has the authority to stop the ride immediately if any safety concern arises - weather, a rider's condition, or equipment issues. The pre-ride briefing and practice circuit exist specifically so no one enters the trail unprepared. The activity is not recommended for anyone with serious cardiac conditions, recent major surgery, epilepsy, or severe back and neck injuries, please disclose all health conditions at booking.

The Annapurna Base Camp trek cost for Indians from TriptoOcean in 2026 starts at ₹99,000 per person for a minimum group of 10 (group joining available for solo Indian trekkers). Small groups of 4-9 pax are priced at ₹105,000 per person. Private/solo treks start at ₹1,15,000 per person. All rates include: all meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) throughout the 11-day trek, teahouse accommodation, government-licensed guide, 1 porter per 2 trekkers, ACAP permit, farewell dinner in Kathmandu, trek certificate, and all government taxes. No hidden charges.

Yes. The ABC trek is classified as Moderate and is the most beginner-friendly of Nepal's major base camp treks. Thousands of first-time high-altitude trekkers from India complete it every season.

The maximum altitude is 4,130m - significantly lower than EBC (5,364m), which reduces altitude sickness risk considerably. No technical climbing skills are required - just the fitness to walk 5-7 hours daily and the discipline to follow your guide's pace. TripToOcean's licensed guides monitor blood oxygen levels twice daily from Day 5 onwards and follow strict altitude safety protocols.

No. The TIMS card is no longer required for the Annapurna region as of 2023. Many websites still show TIMS as mandatory - this is outdated information. In 2026, the only mandatory permit for the ABC trek is the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP), which costs NPR 1,000 (approximately ₹820) for Indian (SAARC) nationals and NPR 3,000 for other foreign nationals. This permit is checked at the Birethanti checkpoint at the start of the trek. TriptoOcean includes the ACAP permit in the package price - no separate action required from you.

No. Solo trekking - meaning trekking without a licensed guide from a registered agency is banned across all of Nepal's national parks and conservation areas since April 2023. This regulation is actively enforced at checkpoints. Every trekker on the Annapurna Base Camp trail must be accompanied by a government-licensed guide booked through a registered agency. TripToOcean is a registered trekking agency - all our guides hold valid government licensing. Solo Indian travellers can join our group departures - this is our group joining option, which makes solo travel safe, affordable, and sociable.

Yes - river rafting on the 16 km Shivpuri-Rishikesh route is safe for beginners. All participants are provided with CILA-certified life jackets, helmets, and paddles. Each raft is led by a trained, certified river guide with years of experience on this specific stretch. You do not need to know how to swim - the life jacket keeps you buoyant. However, if you have a serious medical condition (heart problems, epilepsy, back injuries, pregnancy), please consult your doctor before booking and inform the camp at the time of enquiry.

The best seasons are October to November and February to June. Post-monsoon (October-November) offers perfect river conditions with exciting water levels and cool, clear weather. February to June is peak rafting season - the river is ideal and the weather is comfortable. November to March also brings the bonfire experience included in this package. July-September (monsoon) is generally closed for rafting due to high water and safety concerns. January can be very cold but the camp is operational.

Yes - unlike many basic Rishikesh camps that provide community/shared washrooms, this camp provides premium hillside Swiss tents with attached private washrooms and a cooler in each tent. The tents are set on the hillside overlooking the Ganga valley. Bedding, pillows, and mattresses are provided. This is the key differentiator of this camp versus budget options - proper attached toilet/washroom facilities within the tent without needing to walk to a shared block in the dark.

Yes - you may carry and consume your own alcohol at the camp. The camp does not sell or provide alcohol. We recommend purchasing it in Rishikesh town (or Haridwar) before arriving, as shops near the camp have limited stock and unpredictable availability. Also carry cold drinks, ice, and any other personal beverages you prefer. Please consume responsibly - aggressive behaviour, littering, or disturbances will not be tolerated and may result in removal from the camp.

Yes, absolutely. Scuba diving at Paradise Beach is beginner-friendly, and non-swimmers are welcome. The dive is conducted in relatively shallow water with a certified instructor by your side throughout. A thorough safety briefing is given before entering the water.

The minimum age for this package is 10 years. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Participants with pre-existing medical conditions such as heart problems, asthma, or epilepsy should consult a doctor before booking.

The actual underwater dive time is approximately 5 to 8 minutes. Before that, you will spend time in a boat briefing session to familiarize yourself with the equipment and underwater communication. Total scuba-related time, including briefing and dive  is around 45 to 60 minutes.

Yes. A vegetarian breakfast is served in the morning before the dive, and a buffet lunch with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options is provided during the day. Alcoholic drinks and personal beverages are not included.

Yes, absolutely. Both dive options are fully accessible to non-swimmers. The pool training session builds your comfort with the water and equipment before you go anywhere near the open sea, and your certified instructor is with you throughout the entire dive. Thousands of non-swimmers have completed their first dive at Grande Island with complete confidence.

If this is your first time scuba diving and you're unsure what to expect, the 20-minute option is wonderful. You'll experience the full thrill of breathing underwater and exploring Grande Island's marine life.

If you've dived before, or if you're someone who simply wants more time in the water, the 40-minute dive gives you a significantly richer, more immersive experience. Either way, you will not be disappointed.

The minimum age is 10 years and above. Participants of all ages must be in good general health. Pregnant women, individuals with heart conditions, asthma, epilepsy, or ear problems, and anyone who is hydrophobic are advised against scuba diving. Consult your doctor if you have any pre-existing medical concerns.

Grande Island's waters are home to a diverse range of marine life, expect to encounter tropical fish in vivid colours, sea anemones, coral formations, and, depending on conditions, the occasional sea turtle or moray eel. The underwater visibility at Grande Island is generally very good, making it one of the best scuba diving experiences available anywhere in Goa.

Not at all. Most activities in this package, including parasailing, banana ride, bumper ride, and jet ski, are completely accessible to non-swimmers. Life jackets are provided for all activities, and certified instructors are present throughout your session.

Yes, children can participate in most of the activities. However, a minimum age and weight requirement may apply to certain rides, such as the jet ski. It's best to check with the team at the time of booking if you're bringing very young children.

Wear comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting wet - swimwear, shorts, or light sportswear works well.
Avoid heavy denim or formal clothing. Sandals or slippers are fine; you can leave footwear on the beach during activities.

The package operates from 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Morning slots tend to have calmer waters and smaller crowds, making them ideal for first-timers. Goa's water sports season runs from October through May, with the best conditions between November and February.

Absolutely. This is one of the most beginner-friendly Himalayan treks in Uttarakhand. With a moderate gradient over a manageable 12 km distance and just 3 days, it's well within reach for anyone with a basic fitness level.

The trek is enjoyable year-round. Spring and summer (April-June) offer green meadows and clear skies; autumn (September-November) is ideal for sharp mountain views; winter (December-February) transforms the trail into a snow wonderland. Avoid the monsoon months (July-August) due to slippery paths and poor visibility.

Chandrashila Peak sits at an elevation of approximately 13,100 ft (3,990 m) above sea level, making it one of the more accessible high-altitude summits for beginners doing trekking in Uttarakhand.

No. Tungnath Temple is typically open from May to November for pilgrims. During winter, the deity is ceremonially shifted to Markandey Temple in Ukhimath. However, the trek to Chandrashila can still be done in winter even when the temple is closed.

This itinerary covers Port Blair, Havelock Island, and Neil Island, along with popular excursions to Ross Island and North Bay Island. Guests also visit iconic beaches including Radhanagar Beach, Kalapattar Beach, Bharatpur Beach, Laxmanpur Beach, and Chidiya Tapu.

Yes. This package is designed for honeymoon couples, families, and first-time Andaman travelers. It includes relaxed sightseeing, romantic sunsets, safe water activities, and enough leisure time across islands without rushed travel.

Yes. Airport pickup and drop-off at Port Blair Airport are included on Day 1 and Day 8, ensuring a smooth start and end to your Andaman holiday.

The package includes inter-island ferry transfers between Port Blair and Havelock, and between Havelock and Neil Island. Premium catamaran ferries such as Makruzz, Nautika, or ITT Majestic are provided, subject to availability and weather conditions.
