Chances are you may not be the first to ask …

do you do tailored itineraries?

Yes! If you want to do something special in India and need some assistance or want a customized itinerary, we can help you. Grass Routes organize tours for painters, photographers, filmmakers, students, volunteers, educators, professors, and corporate groups. Let us know your ideas and we’ll help create your very own journey.

can we bring our kids on a trip?

Grass Routes welcomes children on our journeys. Children must be accompanied and cared for at all times by an adult. We suggest you get in touch with us with any specific concerns.

how old are the people on your tours?

It varies and our experience is that a 72 year old can easily out run a 18 year old; it’s all a matter of spirit! So far we’ve had the pleasure of travellers from 6 years to 76 years old on our journeys.

do you offer group discounts?

Absolutely. If you can organize a group of 10 to 12 friends together, we’ll complement your journey cost (land only).

do you guarantee that your Group Departures will run?

We require a minimum of four travellers in order to meet the operational costs of our Group Departures. If this minimum number is not reached we consult our travellers booked no less than 50 days before the journey is due to depart. You are given the option to transfer your booking to an alternate date or journey, or pay an additional supplement (to be advised; the amount will vary according to the number of travellers booked). If none of these options are agreeable to you Grass Routes may choose to cancel the journey no less than 50 days before the departure date and refund all your money in full.

i’m used to travelling independently, will these journeys suit me?

Certainly. Although we include a lot of activities to encourage participation we’ve also taken care to structure in space. We don’t cramp your personal space, nor do we shelter our travellers.

where else?

Grass Routes specialises in Orissa, however exploring new places and meeting new people is in our blood. With plenty of experience travelling and working throughout India we can create captivating journeys almost anywhere. We are constantly updating our ever-expanding knowledge base and have professional colleagues and friends all over the country ready to welcome you with open arms and hearts.
