listen to them.

“Niraj, our experience manager put in every effort to ensure each member of the group was healthy and well rested. He's been attentive and energetic throughout the trip and gave us all the right and timely advise to help acclimatize better and prevent any altitude issues. Definitely recommend a trip with Vagabond Experiences!”
Sneha Pawse
"As a first timer, I found the whole experience very pleasant and peaceful. Experience manager was very friendly and gave us a lot of inputs about the place and made sure we all get along too. I highly recommend taking these hikes and trips!"
Sakshi Arya
"It is a great pleasure to let you know that the tour you organized was a huge success for my friend and me in every possible way we could imagine. Really like to thank Adwait and Sucheta for the wonderful time. I have never come across such a pleasant and friendly organizers in my entire life. The trail was easy but slippery but Sucheta was always ready to lend her hand whenever needed. Kudos to you both."
Manasi Godambe
"I would highly recommend Vagabond for any trip specially backpack trips like Ladakh n Spiti... I think the "experiences" in their name stands for the unique experiences they serve... 10/10 from me without any doubt. Epecting to travel with them again soon…"
Jaishil Panchal
"I recently went on a day trek to Tandulwadi, and our experience manager, Niraj, made all the difference. While the trek wasn't easy, Niraj displayed incredible patience, provided assistance, and kept us motivated all the way to the summit. This was my third adventure with Vagabond, and I eagerly wait for more. The impeccable management and the enriching experiences, not to mention the opportunity to meet amazing people, make these trips truly worthwhile."
Steffi Singh
"It was my first time with Vagabond experience, it was fun ,exploring unexplored forests,enjoying in waterfall and meeting new people was indeed an amazing experience 😊"
Harshita Vora
Went on their Parvati Valley trip. Definitely a memorable experience. Everything was well thought yet sometimes spontaneous. Would definitely recommend if you like going for bag packing trips without planning anything yourself.😊
Sailee Bharne
I was part of Hampi backpacking trip with Vagabond and I doubt anyone till date can design the itinerary plus the experience along with offbeat / hidden gems like them. Truly loved the whole trip, thanks to Niraj and Vaga team for memorable Hampi trip
Mandovi Srivastava
It was my first solo trip and I had to do it with Vagabond Experiences as I followed them on Instagram since a very long time. The team's support was outstanding from booking to departure.
Mrunmayi Kaamath
Had one of the best trips I’ve ever gone on, and this was my first time doing it without family. Like everyone I asked before booking this trip said, ‘If you’re going, go with Vagabond.’
Jessica Alphonso
It was an once in a lifetime experience because of the scuba diving. Even without the scuba diving, it was hands-down the best group trip we have had. Most of the credit goes to Niraj and Jigar for guiding us through the unique backpacking experience and ensuring that we got the most out of it. Even our informal star gazing at the Belekan beach was memorable. An adorable group, including Niraj and Jigar, gave us new friendships in a short span of 3 days. We are already planning for our next trip through Vagabond Experiences.
Abhijit Nadgouda
Vagabond Experiences' New Year's Eve Pajama Party was a resounding success. The meticulous planning, breathtaking location, and vibrant atmosphere made it an event to remember. Looking forward to more amazing experiences in the future! I highly recommend travelling with them!
Shaina Patel
Great EM Sneha! Amazing work by organising and managing the whole trip. I loved being with all the participants and this being my first solo trip, you guys have set the bar really high! Thank you very much!
