Chapter 06 — The studio

The small things
others get wrong.

Pick The Trip began in 2020, born from a frustration that planning a holiday had become a job. Endless tabs, generic itineraries, hidden costs at check-in. We wanted something kinder — so we became travellers first, agents second.

01

Handcrafted, never copy-pasted

Every itinerary is built around your dates and your pace. No two documents we send are the same.

02

24/7 WhatsApp concierge

A real human, before, during and after. A missed connection at 3 a.m. is still our problem, not yours.

03

Best-price guarantee

Find the same itinerary cheaper and we match it, or refund you the difference. In writing.

04

Honest exclusions

What isn’t included is printed as clearly as what is. No surprise charges at check-in, ever.

Chapter 07 — The journal

Field notes.

Guides, month-by-month timing, real cost breakdowns and everything else we’ve learnt planning trips across India and beyond.

Chapter 08 — Letters

From people who
packed with us.

Chapter 09 — The fine print

Cancellations,
spelled out.

No buried clauses, no asterisks. Cancel any trip you’ve booked with us, anytime, and here’s exactly what happens.

30+ days beforeFull refund

Minus a ₹2,000 admin fee. Hotel deposits we’ve already paid are covered by us.

15–29 days before50% refund

Of total package value. Hotels start charging us cancellation, and we share the cost.

7–14 days before25% refund

Or full credit toward a future trip within 12 months — your choice, not ours.

Less than 7 daysNo refund

But we’ll try to reschedule. Medical or bereavement? We make an exception, always.

Flights are separate. Airline tickets follow the carrier’s own rules — we’ll tell you exactly what those are before you book. Visa fees are non-refundable. Travel insurance, which we recommend for international trips, covers most other reasons for cancellation.
Chapter 10 — Questions

The things people
ask us first.

Straight answers. If yours isn’t here, message us — we reply to every one.

How much does a trip cost with Pick The Trip?

Domestic trips start around ₹13,300 per person for four nights in Goa, twin sharing. International starts around ₹18,999 for Dubai. Those are the lowest we honestly run; the figure for your dates depends on the season, the hotels and how many of you there are. Every price on this site is per person on twin sharing, with 5% GST shown separately.

Do you charge a planning fee?

No. You get a day-by-day plan and live prices for your dates before any money is discussed, and you pay nothing to get them. We make our margin on the trip, not on the quote.

How quickly will someone reply?

Usually within a couple of hours, and always the same day, Monday to Saturday between 9am and 9pm. One planner handles your trip from the first message to the flight home — you are not passed between agents.

Do I need a visa to travel from India?

It depends where you are going. Nepal and Bhutan need no visa for Indian passport holders. Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and the Maldives are visa-on-arrival or e-visa. Dubai, Singapore and Vietnam need an e-visa arranged in advance. Europe needs a Schengen visa, which takes the longest — start six to eight weeks ahead. We prepare the file, book the appointment and walk you through the interview. Rules change, so we confirm the current position for your passport and destination in writing before you book anything.

What is included in your packages?

Hotels, daily breakfast, private transfers and sightseeing coordination as standard. International packages usually add return flights and visa assistance. What is not included — lunches, dinners unless stated, personal expenses and travel insurance — is printed as clearly as what is, on every package page, before you enquire.

Can you plan a trip for a family with young children?

Yes, and we plan it differently rather than just adding a cot. Shorter driving days, the long legs moved to the morning, hotels that can genuinely take an extra bed, and meal preferences sent to the property in writing. Children aged 5 to 11 are charged at 75% of the adult fare and under-fives at 35%.

Do you plan honeymoons?

Yes. A honeymoon is built differently from a tour — private transfers throughout, rooms chosen for two rather than whatever the group rate allocated, and a slower route. Room decoration, a cake or a private dinner is arranged with the property at no markup, confirmed before you arrive rather than asked for at check-in.

Is it cheaper to book a package or arrange it myself?

Honestly, for a simple two-night city break you can often do it yourself for much the same money. Where we save you money is a multi-stop route — negotiated hotel rates, one car rather than four transfers, and knowing which nights to move to avoid a peak-week surcharge. Where we save you something other than money is when a flight is cancelled at 11pm and somebody answers the phone.

When is the best time to visit India?

October to March suits most of the country — Rajasthan, Kerala, Goa and the south are at their best. The Himalaya reverse this: Ladakh, Spiti and the high passes open roughly May to September and are shut the rest of the year. Kashmir is beautiful in April for the blossom and in December for snow. Tell us when you are free and we will tell you plainly where that actually works.

How do I book, and what do I pay?

Nothing on this website — there is no checkout here. Send us your dates through any form on the site or on WhatsApp, we come back with a written plan and a real price, and payment terms are agreed only after you are happy with it.

Are you a registered travel agency?

Yes. Pick The Trip is a travel studio based in Pune, working since 2020, planning trips across India and more than 30 countries. We work by appointment rather than from a shopfront, and we serve customers across India — most of our travellers have never met us in person.

What happens if I need to cancel?

The full schedule is in the fine print above: full refund more than 30 days out minus a ₹2,000 admin fee, 50% at 15–29 days, 25% or full credit at 7–14 days. Flights follow the airline’s own rules, which we tell you before you book. Medical and bereavement cases are treated as exceptions, always.
