Trips that need a visa
Six countries we run fixed departures to, with the paperwork handled before you fly.
Why choose us
Nine years, 41,000 travellers, one rule: no batch runs without a captain who has run it before.
We are not the cheapest operator on the internet, and we don't try to be. What you're paying for is the person leading your batch, the vehicle you're sitting in, and someone answering the phone at 2am when the pass shuts.

We never hand your trip to a third party after booking. That's how the cost stays affordable.

Did the Umling La batch in June. Our captain Tenzin rerouted us around a landslide near Hanle without any drama and we still made it for sunset. The oxygen check every evening sounded excessive until two people in our group actually needed it. Worth every rupee.

Solo female traveller, first group trip, and I was nervous about it. The WhatsApp group before departure made a huge difference — by day one I already knew who I was travelling with. Homestays in Spiti were basic but spotless.

Kedarkantha in late December, minus nine at the campsite, and the tents held up fine. Rented the jacket and gaiters from them instead of buying — saved me about eight thousand rupees for one trek.

Meghalaya in peak monsoon means you will get wet, and they say so upfront, which I appreciated. Only gripe: the Dawki boat ride felt rushed. Everything else was better than the price suggested.

Booked eleven days before departure and they still sorted the permits. Payment link, invoice, GST — all of it came through properly, which is not something I can say about the last operator I used.

Who we are
Learn more about us
Backpacking, run properly.
Since 2017We started as three friends who kept getting asked to plan everyone else's Himalaya trips. Nine years on, it's a full-time team of captains, drivers and a support desk that actually picks up — still doing exactly what we started with.
No white-labelled itineraries and no routes we haven't driven ourselves. If a batch runs under the Backpacker Tours name, someone on our team has led it before.
