What Trekkers Say

The Kudremukh peak was absolutely magical. Our trek leader Arjun made sure everyone felt safe while pushing us just enough. Best weekend I have had in years!

Kudremukh Trek

Went on the Kumara Parvatha trek with my college group. The sunrise from the peak was unreal. BU handled everything perfectly from transport to meals.

I was nervous as a solo female trekker but the team made me feel completely at home. Small batch sizes meant we actually bonded. Already booked my next one!

GS
Gowri Shankar
Tadiandamol Trek

What sets BU apart is their attention to detail. The campsite was clean, food was amazing, and the Leave No Trace philosophy is real, not just marketing.

Kodachadri Trek

Third trek with Backpackers United and they keep raising the bar. The Gokarna coastal trail was therapeutic. Worth every rupee spent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about our weekend treks and tours from Bangalore. Still have questions? .

Where do treks and tours depart from?

All our weekend treks and tours depart from Bangalore. We provide multiple pickup points across the city including Majestic, Marathahalli, Hebbal, Banashankari, Mysore Road and more — chosen at the time of booking.

Are these treks suitable for beginners?

Yes — most of our weekend treks are graded Easy or Easy-to-Moderate and are beginner-friendly. Each trek page lists the difficulty level, distance and altitude. Our certified trek leaders brief and pace the group so first-time trekkers feel safe and supported.

What is included in the trek price?

Trek prices include round-trip transport from Bangalore, all stays during the trek, meals as per the itinerary, certified trek leader, all permits and entry fees, and basic first-aid support. Personal expenses, insurance and optional activities are not included.

How are bookings and cancellations handled?

You can reserve a spot with a small advance payment online. The remaining balance is collected closer to the departure date. Cancellation rules are listed on each trek's policy section — refunds depend on how many days before departure you cancel.

Do you offer private group or customised tours?

Yes. You can book any of our trips as a private group with a customised itinerary, exclusive dates and your choice of stays. Use the 'Send Enquiry' or WhatsApp button on any trek/tour page to start a private booking.
