Shared or private? Is all transport included?

Quick answer: Fixed departures are shared; private upgrades for families and groups quoted same day. Everything ground-side from Dimapur pickup to drop is included.

Part of the transport doubts people send us before booking the Hornbill Festival. Everything below is how the trip actually works when you travel with us.

What if traffic causes delays? Buffer is built into both transfer days and the guide re-sequences pickups when the hill road jams. Festival-week traffic is exactly why our batches leave early.

What if a flight or train is delayed? Message the WhatsApp line; batch swaps within the season are free where seats allow. It is why we ask for arrival details at booking.
