The Travellers Shed

My Himalayan trip with Traveller Shed was smooth, well planned, and deeply enriching. They arranged everything from our stays to the itinerary as we travelled through Spiti (Kaza), Tabo, Key Monastery, Chicham, Dhankar Monastery, Kunzum Pass, Bir Billing, Rajgundha, and Jibhi. They also organize trips around Kashmir, Leh-Ladakh, and Arunachal. I’d highly recommend them for an authentic, memorable mountain journey. 🌄

The best part was that the journey itself became the experience, not just the places we reached. The group bond grew as we visited Sangla, Chitkul, Langza, Ki, Kibber, Hikkim, Chicham, Kalpa, and other viewpoints. Timing was coordinated well, with time to take photos. Our first homestay wasn’t impressive as a building, but the food and service were splendid. The HRTC Volvo bus was comfortable and temperature controlled. We met at Delhi Kashmiri Gate ISBT bus stand, where coordination was good, and Ashu had explained the itinerary and what to do and avoid in advance. He was also friendly and helpful, making sure the group waited for someone who missed a flight and came to a spot far from the planned meetup. The 31st Dec party was more than I expected, it left me spellbound. If you want a trip full of fun and messing around, this is the right group. But if you expect five-star service and don’t want to compromise with anyone on a group trip, choose another group. We did have a couple in our group with that mindset. One thing to keep in mind, especially in winter Spiti: leave your usual comfort expectations behind. The weather is harsh and cold, and you have to accept the food and service homestays can provide in those same conditions. The people there are human too, doing their best in that environment.

Nikhil Solanki Bhai and Abhishek Bhaiya made a brilliant team, keeping things fun and entertaining throughout. Nikhil looked after everyone, encouraged us to join in, explained the sights, and made the group feel like one big family. Abhishek drove the Traveller smoothly and helped keep things calm, then added to the great bonfire night with melodious songs. We also enjoyed the briefing in Delhi with Arun Bhai and Ashu Bhai, and the itinerary had clearly been planned with the many factors affecting the trip in mind. Stays were good, with workarounds provided for the harsh weather. I had an amazing, thrilling time with Travellers Shed on my Spiti trip, and highly recommend them.

It was our first trip away from home, especially to North India, and it was a great experience. Despite the harsh weather and remote locations, the stays and food were as good as they could be. Captain Mr.Nikhil was fun to be with, handled the group very well, and guided us when some of us fell sick. The itineraries were well planned and explained. Rajat bhai, our captain of the ship, the Traveller, made it a really fun and memorable trip. The brothers and sisters we met were a bonus. I’d recommend Travellers Shed if you’re considering a group trip. Kudos Travellers Shed👌🏼
