FAQs

True to our name, we offer trips that keep our travellers active. Broadly our trips are divided into three travel styles: running, cycling and walking / hiking. We offer both guided and self-guided trips around the world based on these travel styles. To know more about each trip style please go through the FAQs pertaining to each specific travel style by clicking the link here: MARATHON TRIP FAQs | CYCLING TRIP FAQs | HIKING TRIP FAQs

We are also appointed partners for some of the world’s renowned small group adventure travel companies that are amazing for solo travellers who want to experience a destination via roads less travelled. The general group sizes for these are 8 to 15 travellers.

Assuming that you are familiar with the activity you are choosing (example you are comfortable cycling or have a base in running etc.) two key points to consider are your level of fitness and the level of support you need on the trip.

STUDY THE PACE METER: Our trips are designed for people of all fitness levels, yet, some can help set new personal records. Each trip is graded on a scale of 1 to 5 to help you choose one that suits your ability. While this may be a simplified guideline, given the different terrains, countries, weather conditions, duration and challenges, it is a good start in setting a uniform standard to compare trips based on its physical demands.

  • Grade 1 – Very easy, good for people of all abilities including first timers.
  • Grade 2 – Fairly easy for people of all abilities though requires some caution and fitness
  • Grade 3 – Requires good fitness. Some rough days may be interspersed with light ones.
  • Grade 4 – Challenging. May warrant prior training and very good fitness levels.
  • Grade 5 – Difficult and may need expertise and excellent fitness level as well as prior experience

You may also want to consider JOINING A GROUP vs DOING IT ON YOUR OWN. Travelling by yourself you will have the opportunity to set your own based on your comfort and level of expertise. While a group with a Trip Leader means access to assistance with cycling repairs, or if you get altitude sickness on a trek. A guide also brings to life stories behind places you are passing through and secret insights that local experts on the region can offer. On the flip side, you have to stick to a schedule and there is often no option to change the itinerary if you are in a group. All our self-guided trips provide access to a helpline or an emergency contact.

We are happy to assist in helping you choose the right trip. If you have to cut short your vacation or change or alter the itinerary, cancellations are due to suppliers, and you are unlikely to receive a refund. For this reason, we recommend you choose your trip carefully, evaluating your own physical ability and buy appropriate insurance to help you cut your losses if the situation arises.

Several solo travellers join our trips to benefit from our services as we handle all the logistics behind the scene. Travelling solo can mean paying extra for a single room and while some travellers want their own room, if you are looking to save money by sharing your room we will be happy to pair you with another single traveller, if someone is looking to share a room on your trip. This of course is not guaranteed. Single rooms may not be available on some trips due to the limited supply of rooms.

Our outdoorsy trips are a wonderful family bonding opportunity and the pace of many vacations is appropriate for families with children Keeping in mind their safety and ability, there is a minimum age set for each trip some trips may not allow children. Children must always be under the supervision of parents / accompanying guardians.
