Looks after where we go and how we run it — the routes, the stays, the trip captains, and the standard every batch is held to.
Our story
We're the friends who never came back on time.
ThrillHikers began with a borrowed tempo traveller, a hand-drawn Spiti route and twelve strangers who are still in one WhatsApp group today. Eight years later we run curated group departures and fully custom tours across India and beyond — with the same rule we started with: if a day on the itinerary wouldn't make a great story, it gets cut.

Who you are travelling with
The two of us
No call centre and no ticketing desk. Between the two of us we plan the route, price it, and answer the phone when you ring — which is also why we cannot run a hundred batches a month.

2018
One tempo traveller, twelve strangers
ThrillHikers started as a single Spiti trip organised for friends-of-friends. Everyone came back a friend. We took the hint.
2020
We learned to plan for anything
The hard years taught us flexible bookings, honest refunds and why a human on the phone beats any policy document.
2023
75 routes, hand-walked
Every itinerary we sell has been done — and redone — by our own captains. If we wouldn't repeat it, we don't run it.
Today
4,200+ travellers and counting
Groups, couples, families, solo wanderers — from Kasol weekends to Bali weeks. Still small enough to know your name.
The ThrillHikers promise
Small groups. Honest prices. Captains who've been there. And not a single boring day on the itinerary.
— the whole team, probably from a mountain
psst — that leave balance isn't going to spend itself
