It’s about enjoying the mountains while making sure they stay just as lovely for everyone who comes after.

How tough is this Galikonda trek, really?We like to call it "moderate" with a dash of adventure! The path is mostly gradual, but because it's not a marked trail and we cross a few valleys, it feels like a good, satisfying challenge. If you do some regular walking or have a bit of fitness, you'll enjoy it! If you're unsure, just give us a call!
-
Tell me about the camping – what’s it like?We camp in a really beautiful spot near water stream. We’ll provide tents that you’ll share with two other trekkers (don’t worry, separate tents for guys and girls ). You’ll also get a comfy trekking mattress. Just bring your own blanket or sleeping bag. For nature’s calls, we found few private "blindspot" areas.
-
The trail is "not marked" – is that okay for someone like me?That’s where the adventure comes in, and also where we come in! While it means it's not a paved path, it also means we get to explore places away from the crowds. Our guides are experts in these hills, with 8 years of experience here. We know these trails, and we always have certified Wilderness First Responders with us. We keep the groups small so we can all look out for each other.
-
Can I drive my own car?You sure can! You can either drive your own vehicle right to the base village, or you can meet us at our spot in Vizag and follow our 9-seater Thavera or 12 Seater vehicle.
-
How many people will be on the trek with me?We like to keep things personal and friendly, so we host tiny groups – usually just 8 to 12 people. This way, everyone gets to connect, and it’s a safer and happier experience for all.
