How We Plan Every Ghumakkad Trip

Most travel sites show you a package page and hope it matches what you actually want. We do it the other way around: you tell us what you want, and we build the itinerary around that. Here's exactly what happens between your first message and the day you land.

Step 1: You tell us the shape of the trip, not just the destination

The Plan My Trip form (or a WhatsApp message, if you'd rather type in full sentences) asks for more than "where and when." Budget per person, who's traveling, how flexible your dates are — these change the itinerary more than the destination name does. Two people asking for "Kerala, 6 days" get very different trips if one says "flexible dates, budget-conscious" and the other says "exact dates, no budget ceiling, it's our anniversary."

Step 2: A named trip expert takes your case — not a queue

Within 15 minutes during business hours (9am–9pm IST), your enquiry is assigned to one person, not routed through a general support inbox. That person owns your trip from here until you're back home. If you message at 11pm, you'll hear back the next morning from the same person — not whoever happens to be online.

Step 3: The first draft comes back inside 24 hours

Your trip expert builds a day-by-day itinerary using real hotel and vehicle inventory we actually work with — not a template with the city name swapped out. If we've sent you a Kerala itinerary and you've read someone else's Kerala itinerary online, they should look nothing alike. You'll get transparent pricing with inclusions and exclusions itemized, not a single lump sum.

Step 4: You push back, and we actually change things

Most itineraries go through at least one revision. Want to cut a day in the hills for an extra day at the coast? Swap a hotel tier up or down? Add a specific experience you read about somewhere? This is the stage where that happens — not after you've paid.

Step 5: A booking advance holds your dates, not the full amount

Once you're happy with the itinerary, a booking advance secures your hotel and vehicle inventory for your dates. You're not paying the full trip cost upfront, and nothing is booked before you've approved the final plan in writing.

Step 6: Your trip expert stays reachable while you're actually traveling

This is the part most agencies skip. The same person who planned your trip is on WhatsApp for its entire length — flight delays, a hotel mix-up, wanting to add a day on the ground. You're not escalating to a call center that's never seen your itinerary.
