Why Chai Routes

Small groups. Slow routes. Real stories.

Chai Routes keeps the mountains personal — fewer people on each batch, local guides who know every turn of the trail, and the logistics sorted before you arrive.

Every route has a story — we're here for the ones you'll tell for years.

Tents glowing at a hillside camp after dark

Small, guided groups

Every batch has a trek leader and local guides who know the mountain — personal attention from pickup to drop.

Honest pricing

Clear packages from your city, UPI payments to our own ID, and a cancellation policy written up front.
