Meet the Monk Tribe: Join Our Adventure Community
See the faces behind the adventure. We do not just run trips; we build a tribe where strangers become friends on the trails of Namma Karnataka.
"I'm very sure that I'll keep coming back to Monks on Wheels." A first-time trekker shares how she found new friends and an overwhelming sense of happiness on her trip with us.
"I can't believe that I completed it." A group of friends share their amazing and challenging experience on the Kudremukh trek, praising the homestay, food, and our supportive coordinators.
"You can expect nothing from them and you will get everything." A repeat traveler describes her Gokarna beach trek and tent camping experience as exciting and flawlessly organized.

About this collection
You are not just booking a trek when you sign up with us. You are joining a group where the trip captain is someone you will actually want to hang out with, not just a guide ticking off a schedule. Whether it is cracking jokes during a long drive from Bengaluru or sharing stories over a campfire in Agumbe, we focus on the people first. If you are coming solo, do not worry about being the odd one out. By the second day, you will be part of the group.
We started Monks on Wheels because we believe the best adventures are the ones you share. We are not just a travel agency. We are a community of people who would rather spend a weekend in the Western Ghats than sitting at a desk. When you join our trips, you are not a tourist. You are part of the tribe.
What makes our group dynamics work? It is a mix of small group sizes and captains who actually know how to read the room. We keep the vibe informal and fun. You will find corporate professionals, students, and solo travelers, all bonding over the same trail mix and campfire smoke. We often see people who arrive alone leave with a new group chat full of plans for the next trip.
We are an approved Adventure Tour Operator by the Ministry of Tourism, so while we keep things casual, we never cut corners on safety or logistics. We have verified partners for homestays and camping, and we handle all the trekking permits so you do not have to worry about the paperwork. Whether it is your first time in the hills or you are a seasoned trekker, you will find a spot here. Come as you are, leave with friends.
Monks On Wheels
We are Chethan and Abhinav, the guys behind Monks on Wheels. We started this to show off our state’s magic and build a community that loves the outdoors as much as we do. Join us for a trip, and you will leave with more than just photos.
