Work with us

We take this work seriously. And we are proud of it.

Tricky Travellers designs and runs slow, small-group journeys across North India. We hold every journey to the standard of the finest travel in the world: known hosts, honest routes and care in every detail. If you want to build something with people who care this much, we would love to hear from you.

What we hold ourselves to

The standards we will not bend

01
Every route, travelled first
We do not sell a place we have not been to. Every journey is one we have designed, walked and refined ourselves.
02
Every host, known by name
The families, cooks, musicians and guides we travel with are people we have worked with season after season.
03
Small groups, always
Between 8 and 15 travellers. Large enough to share, small enough to be welcomed into a home.
04
A captain from the first mile to the last
Every departure is led by a Trip Captain, many of them women, who stays with the group throughout.
05
Fair to the places we visit
Hosts are paid fairly and on time. We keep stays simple where simple is right, and never stage a performance for visitors.
06
A real reply, quickly
Every message is read by a person. We reply within two working days, with substance, not a template.

We would rather run one journey beautifully than ten that are merely fine.

How it works

From first hello to the last mile

1
A conversation
You tell us who you are and what you have in mind. We listen more than we pitch.
2
A clear proposal
Route, dates, stays, people and price, written plainly, with nothing hidden in the small print.
3
Every detail, checked
We confirm hosts, stays and transport ourselves, and share how each day will feel, not just where it goes.
4
We run it, then report back
We host the journey end to end, then share what worked, what we would change and what travellers said.
