The Experience
The journey matters
as much as the peak.
Netravati near Samse is fresh green slopes, cloud moving through the valley, forest trails and streams — and a genuine break from the city.
Peak views
Wide mountain scenery when the weather opens up.
Forest & streams
Shaded trail sections and water crossings on the climb.
Rainforest trails
Moss, mist and old growth on the way up to the grassland.
Local guides
People who know this mountain in every season, leading from the front.
Village stay
An overnight at a homestay in Samse — hot food, dry beds, real rest.
Guided groups
You walk with a group and a lead guide — never alone on the mountain.

- Cancellations within 7 days of the trek date are not refundable.
- Eligible refunds are credited to the original payment method within 7 working days of confirmation.
Rescheduling & transfers
- Bookings are non-transferable and cannot be rescheduled on request — regardless of personal reasons, unavailability or a change of plans.
Weather, forest closures & safety calls
- If a trek is called off for bad weather, forest or trail closures, or a safety decision made in your interest, no refund is issued. Instead you choose either:
- Reschedule to any date within 12 months, subject to availability; or
- A full-value voucher, valid 12 months, redeemable against any future Chai Routes trip.
Government orders & extraordinary events
- No refunds are issued for cancellations caused by government-imposed restrictions, natural calamities, or other circumstances beyond Chai Routes' control.

Travel costs
- For last-minute disruptions, Chai Routes is not responsible for travel costs you incur to reach the pickup point.
By confirming a booking with Chai Routes you acknowledge and agree to these terms. They exist to keep trips running while offering fair alternatives when conditions are genuinely outside our hands.
