1. GO OFF THE BEATEN PATH

Being a huge country, there are innumerable places to see and even more things to do in India. What’s better than being in the company of your local friends (aka the wolf pack at goMowgli) when you set out to discover the places which are unheard of? Not to worry! We also take you to that particular well-known spot mentioned in the guide books and tell you stories about the place that you did not find in that book. Concerned about safety – put all your worries to rest. We at goMowgli know how travel in India works and do our best to put you at ease while you go off the beaten trail. Now let’s go off the beaten path when you go backpacking India – this way please!

2. TRAVEL SAFE, TRAVEL SOLO

“I never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude”, said Henry David Thoreau. We understand this best as we have also travelled solo and we loved it. Travel gets even better when you have the love of your life with you. And travel gets best when you meet strangers, listen to their stories and share yours with them. However, everyone wants to get back home safe. We at goMowgli are your local friends and ensure that we provide you with all this and more while you enjoy your sojourn in solitude.

3. SOAK IN THE INDIAN CULTURE

Get onto any travel website and one thing that you cannot miss is the entire hullabaloo about Indian culture. And there begins all the confusion. The nuances of the traditions and the millions of rituals and stories that dictate the lives of common men here need more than just a visit. We at goMowgli are your local friends, and with us you can mingle like a local and try to comprehend the contradiction that India is. After all, backpacking India is your chance to interact with 1/6th of humanity, all at the same time. All the culturally inclined – head this way!

4. EXPERIENCE THE WILD SIDE OF INDIA

Two thirds of all the tigers in the world, call India their home. UNESCO considers the Western Ghats as one of the hottest biodiversity hotspots in the world. From the mountainous Himalayas to the corals in Anadaman, from tropical evergreen rainforests to barren grasslands, India has everything a nature loving backpacker craves for. Throw in a handful of hikes and wildlife safaris and you have the perfect wildlife destination. This is where the wild ones go to!

5. EXHILARATING ADVENTURES

That is correct. There are a tonne of adventures on offer in India and yet very few travellers know about them. How does rock climbing in an ancient city filled with ruins sound like? Does your backpacking India itinerary include surfing and white water rafting? We know the perfect spots for all of them and you can know more about our adventure tours here.

6. PROFESSIONAL SMALL GROUP TOURS WITH HOP ON HOP OFF

What is life without a bunch of friends? What is travel without the urge to travel with the wind? So we believe and thus we operate small group tours ranging from single day tours to longer tours with an option for you to hop on and hop off anywhere. This means, you can make friends on the go and explore India at your own pace. And we promise a thoroughly professional experience. Remember, we promise to make backpacking in India easy.
