About Guided Pilgrimage Tours (Yatras)
What Makes Our Yatras Special
I organise these yatras with a mix of adventure and devotion. All trips kick off from Bangalore, so if you're from Namma Bengaluru, it's like travelling with your own folks. My team speaks Kannada and English fluently - making it easy for you to feel at home. We’ve been at this for 8 years, and I always keep safety first, especially for solo female travellers.
Pilgrimage Paths We Cover
- Chardham circuit trek: Visit Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath in one epic 9-10 day journey.
- Kedarnath Yatra: 5 days focused on darshan at Lord Shiva's famous shrine - perfect for tight schedules.
- Dodham Yatra: 6 days for devotion at both Kedarnath and Badrinath.
- Kailash Manasarovar Yatra: For those ready for a big adventure, this 12-day trek goes into Nepal and Tibet.
What’s Included
I sort out registration, permits, transport from Bangalore, and clean, simple stays. Vegetarian breakfast and dinner is sorted, with lunch on your own so you can try local stuff. Every group gets a Kannada-speaking pilgrimage guide so you’re never lost for words or directions.
Why Travel With Us
- Hassle-free Bangalore to Himalayas spiritual trip, no hidden costs.
- Group stays in shared rooms – not luxury, but always clean.
- You just focus on your prayers and the experience; I handle the rest.
Yatra madona! (Let’s go on this pilgrimage!)

My Story
Why Mad Adventurers? Well, you gotta be a little mad to ditch city chaos and chase hidden waterfalls every weekend, right? We started 8 years back, straight from Namma Bengaluru, just tired of crowded places. We plan everything – bus, homestay, even yummy Karavali food if we’re coastal side. Our joy? Seeing solo folks, newbies, anyone, just relax and let nature do its thing. Namma Bengaluru ninda charana & pravasa – it’s our heart, not just a line.
My Work
Weekend Treks & Offbeat Trips - We take you from Bangalore to unexplored Karnataka treks, waterfalls, jungles, forts, beaches, and more.
Local Experts, Local Flavours - Trips start in Bangalore, led by us locals. Expect Karavali food trekking if we’re near the coast.
No Crowds, Just Nature - We hunt for offbeat Bangalore escapes, so you get pure nature, not touristy chaos.
Safe for Solo Travellers - Solo traveller safe treks, with experienced guides, hassle-free and trusted by many.
All-Inclusive, Under Budget - Under budget weekend trips - travel, food, stay, guides, entry fees, all sorted. No hidden stuff.
