Find answers to common questions about bookings, cancellations, trek preparation, safety, travel arrangements, and more. We want to make your journey with Ghoomantra smooth, clear, and worry-free.
Ghoomantra India is a Pune-based adventure travel company that organises affordable treks, fort walks, and Himalayan expeditions across India. Founded by trek leader Pravin Pawde, we specialise in curated group experiences led by experienced guides — with a focus on safety, authenticity, and value for money.
Our primary office is in Kasba Peth, Pune, Maharashtra. We organise treks departing from Pune and also serve trekkers from Mumbai, Nashik, and Nanded.
Our founder and lead trek leader Pravin Pawde has completed 100+ successful treks across the Sahyadri ranges, the Himalayas, and North-East India. Our guides are trained in route planning, group management, and emergency first aid.
You can book directly through the trek page on our website by selecting your preferred date and clicking "Confirm Dates." Alternatively, you can reach us on WhatsApp at +91 96991 30753 or email info@ghoomantra.in and we'll guide you through the process.
A partial advance payment is required to confirm your seat. The remaining balance is to be paid before or on the day of departure. Exact advance amounts are mentioned on each trek's booking page.
We accept UPI (GPay, PhonePe, Paytm), bank transfer (NEFT/IMPS), and cash payments. Online card payments are available through our website checkout.
Yes. Once your advance payment is received, you will get a booking confirmation on WhatsApp and/or email with all trek details, pickup points, and a packing checklist.
Most of our Sahyadri and Maharashtra fort treks (Kalsubai, Rajgad, Harishchandragad, Raigad) are suitable for beginners with basic fitness. You should be able to walk uphill for 2–4 hours without difficulty. Himalayan treks like Auden's Col require prior trekking experience and higher fitness levels — specific requirements are listed on each trek page.
The essentials are: sturdy trekking or sports shoes with good grip, 2–3 litres of water, a light backpack, torch or headlamp, windcheater or light jacket, personal medicines, energy snacks, and a government-issued photo ID. A full packing list is shared with every confirmed booking.
Meals vary by trek. Most of our day treks include breakfast and lunch. The inclusions are clearly listed in the "What's Included" section on each trek page. Please check before booking.
Wear comfortable, breathable clothes — preferably full-length track pants or trekking trousers and a moisture-wicking t-shirt. Avoid jeans, formal footwear, and slippers. For monsoon treks, carry a rain poncho. For winter or high-altitude treks, carry warm layers.
Yes, Pune-to-Pune transport is included in most trek packages. We have multiple pickup points across Pune including Swargate, Deccan, Shivajinagar, Aundh, Baner, and Nashik Phata. Specific pickup times and locations are listed on each trek page.
Yes, you can opt for the "without transport" option on most treks at a lower price. You will need to arrange your own travel to the base village and meet the group there. Exact base village location and timing will be shared upon booking.
Cancellations made 7 or more days before the trek date are eligible for a partial refund or credit toward a future trek. Cancellations within 3 days of the trek are non-refundable. In case Ghoomantra cancels a trek due to bad weather or unforeseen circumstances, a full refund or free rescheduling will be offered. Full details are on our Terms and Conditions page.
Safety is our top priority. If weather or trail conditions make a trek unsafe, we will reschedule it or offer a full refund. You will be notified via WhatsApp as early as possible.
Yes. Our treks are led by experienced trek leaders who are familiar with the routes and local terrain. We maintain small group sizes, carry a basic first aid kit on every trek, and plan routes with clear emergency exit options. First-time trekkers are always briefed before the trek begins.
Network coverage varies by location. Most Sahyadri fort treks have reasonable signal along the trail, though it may be limited at the summit. Himalayan and remote treks may have very limited or no network. We recommend informing a family member of your trek plan and expected return time.
Yes! Several of our treks — including Raigad Fort and Raireshwar — are graded easy and are suitable for families, older adults, and children above 8 years. Trek grades (Easy / Easy-Medium / Medium / Difficult) are listed on every trek page so you can choose one that fits your group.
If you still have any questions, feel free to contact us. Our team will be happy to assist you.
