Frequently Asked Questions

You can do quite a few things. For one, you can plan a trip on your own using our trip planner. It's free, incase you are wondering. The second thing you can do is talk to us and our in house advisors will guide you with places and destinations. Then you can hire a local expert to be your online buddy to plan your trip. This buddy, whom we call a Scout, also travels virtually with you and helps you in real time. And finally, we build customized holidays which are planned by Scouts and also take care of the complete bookings!

We're quite different. We don't offer local guides who travel with you or show you around. We don't offer flights, trains or buses unless we're planning it for you.

Google and Facebook rates us a high 4.9. You should read the review for yourself though on Facebook and Google.

Signing up with us gets you immediate access to our award winning trip planner. Apart from that, you can access saved trip plans, get news and updates, offers and most importantly join our traveler network with benefits! If you have not signed up already - please sign up!

Yep, the planner and destination advice on the mobile app are both free. You pay when you hire a Scout or when you buy a package from us.

We've made tutorial videos for using our planner better. We don’t like to brag, but we have also won awards for just how awesome it is. Since it is fairly extensive, it may take some time learning to use it more effectively. I would suggest you see our tutorial videos first.

We're trusted by over 35,000 travelers from India and beyond. That keeps us going.

Of course, we’d love to help you with our customized holidays. But you won’t pay till you decide on booking from us. Do know however, that even though we may make a basic plan it will still be supported by a Scout - via the mobile app.

In one line - they are your online travel buddies. They are locals and they are experts of a place or a type of travel. They understand the ground situations and give you an itinerary that can actually work. How many times has it been that you plan something and it doesn’t happen the way you planned it? Everytime you hire a Scout, you directly and indirectly support the local economy. A fair portion of the fees you pay on our website goes to the Scouts.

Let us give you some examples of real customers who have hired a Scout for a good trip.

• A solo woman traveler wanted a foolproof plan to roam the Northern Himalayas and also be able to talk to someone when help was required.
• A Biker who wanted explore central and south India over 2 months - visiting lesser known places.
• A couple who wanted to explore Rajasthan
• A family of three and a pet who wanted to explore north east with pet friendly places to stay and explore.
• Four senior citizens who wanted to go to Goa from Delhi in their brand new SUV.
• 10 boys who wanted to throw a bachelor party for their friend in Himachal.

Scouts do the following when you hire one of them - make your trip itinerary, suggest places to see and do, recommend places to eat at and they assist you real time via the mobile app when you are traveling. One thing they DO NOT do is - travel with you. So they are virtually available via the mobile app.

You need a Scout to assure you a few things when it comes to travel.

• Assurity: The plans are fool proof and come with personal experience. Some things can work and some cannot. Scouts will be honest and frank with the most doable itineraries only.
• Save you time: Did you know Indian's spent one billion hours planning trips in 2019? Don't be one of them, be smarter about your time and leave it to a Scout.
• Explore: When you can explore a place better, why not?
• Optimize: There are limited leaves we all get, so why not optimize those days to see places around better? Scouts plan even hourly itineraries to make the most of the holiday!
• Go off beat: Leaving jokes about selfies aside, have you wanted to go to places where others wouldn't? Scouts can guide you there, and ensure you don’t miss out on the usual ones either.

No. And that's because you never meet the Scout. They are connected with you on the mobile app. So if you don't meet them - how do you pay them?
