Booking and the basics

Ask us questions
Can I come on my own?

Yes. Around 80% of people on our trips come on their own, and the trips are built for that. You'll be in a WhatsApp group with everyone before you fly, so you'll know a few names when you land.

How many people are on a trip?

Between 8 and 16 travellers, plus your Onda trip leader and a local guide. Small enough to get to know everyone, big enough that there's always someone up for dinner.

How old is everyone?

Most people are in their 20s and 30s. Trips are 18+ and anyone who's up for it is welcome. Our first Kerala group ranged from early 20s to mid 30s.

Are flights included?

No. You book your own international flights, so you can fly from your nearest airport or use points. We tell you which arrival times to aim for and pick you up from the airport.

What's included in the price?

Accommodation, in-country transport, airport transfers, the activities in the itinerary, local guides, an Onda trip leader and the meals listed on each trip. Flights, travel insurance, visas and spending money aren't included.

How much does a trip cost?

Trips start from £999. You can secure your place with a £199 deposit and pay the rest in instalments before you go. Each trip page shows the full price for every date.

Do I need travel insurance?

Yes, it's compulsory on every trip, and you'll need to send us proof of your policy before you travel. If you don't have one yet, True Traveller is who we recommend (it's an affiliate link, so we may earn a small commission).

I'm nervous about going. Can I talk to you first?

Yes, please do. Book a video call with Katie and Liam and ask anything: who else is going, what the rooms are like, whether you'll cope with the food. There's no pressure to book.
