We are going to Himachal Pradesh with 20 young travelers from different parts of India. If you are the kind of person who loves bonfire, who loves to explore local places rather than tourist spots, if walking into woods, or enjoying beer in the local club of old Manali and getting high on live music is your thing, then this trip is for you. This itinerary shows you beyond the bars and gives you out of the box experience. We will be exploring a small part of Himachal Pradesh in a traveler's way not as a tourist. Also, this trip is not only about exploration but also taking a short vacation from your work life, living the moment on the mountains & making some new friends, it's okay if you don't have a group of friends, Solo travelers are most welcome on our trips. We are also going on a trek to Kheerganga which is famous for hot water spring baths and believe us you won’t feel like coming out of that natural swimming pool. This trip will start on Day 1 from Delhi on the evening 05.00 pm. We suggest you arrive at least 2hr before departure from your city by flight or train and meet us at our pickup point - Ramakrishna metro station. From there it's a night journey to Kasol and further day-wise plans are mentioned below. We all need a break so let's accept this new normal and start exploring once again. Traveling with us was always safe and fun. Promoting responsible tourism since 2015

Backpacker tours, a passion project initiated in 2016, was inspired by the belief that traveling is nothing short of magic. A trip away from home, in the cradle of forests and mountains and rivers, can be one of the most enchanting experiences one can have. And we want people to experience this magic. We make this happen by living up to our name. Every travel experience with us takes you beyond what the internet shows you or beyond a regular itinerary. That’s because we understand that a great travel experience cannot be defined by a checklist but by creating a balanced mix of exploring, bonding, learning, and relaxing. We curate a trip that isn’t full of a tiring itinerary but rather a series of offbeat experiences woven together to give you a comfortable, thrilling, and rejuvenating vacation. We host you with pleasant stays, a vibrant range of things to do and eat, a special exposure to the local lifestyle, and a relaxing itinerary that makes a memorable trip. What sets us apart amongst the myriad of travel organizers is our commitment to providing you with the best experience. All our transporters, homestays, and hoteliers are well-known and the best in the industry. Before creating any new travel plan, our team personally visits the destination and studies the places to get a good experience of the trip. So far we have organized one-day treks in the Sahyadri ranges (Maharashtra, India), treks in the Himalayas, and treks in North East India. Our treks are oriented towards creating a connection between the travelers and enriching their expedition in the company of other like-minded people. The safety and satisfaction of our travelers is always the most important factor for us.

Would like to start with "TUM MUJE KYU NAHI MILE PAHLE".I should have discovered this Backpacker tour much earlier.
Out of the world experience.. This is my 3rd time to Himachal but never experienced Himachal this beautiful way. I will say, this experience I will remember for the entire life. Kheerganga track and hot water spring was another world experience. Stay in a remote village in moutains was WOW. Water rafting in
Beas river was unforgettable one.
Tour Operator Chirag jain is such a friendly and Amazing person to be with. He organized everything so well and very quick to respond to any request.
I would love to be part of many more coming trips and recommend to friends/family/colleagues. (Already my cousin has joined Himachal trip after my experience)..
But be very careful, you may fall in love with beautiful mountain rivers, Mountains, activities, itinerary and experience. Don't worry, it's good to fall.
