What if traffic causes delays?

The Hornbill Festival arena at dusk, Kisama Heritage Village

Quick answer: 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.

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 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.
