FAQs

What type of accommodation will be provided?

We select accommodation based on their uniqueness/character, location, cleanliness and comfort, hospitality, food quality, and more. Hence, we work with a variety of stays - boutique hotels, heritage properties, well appointed standard hotels, premium homestays etc. You can download the PDF itinerary for more details on the stays being used in the Assam all-women group tour.

What type of food will be available during the Assam group trip?

Local Assamese cuisine, with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options will be available. However, please keep in mind that since food is prepared fresh, please allow some time for preparation and order ahead of time. Please cooperate with your trip lead on this.

As a solo-female traveller, can I join the Assam group tour?

Absolutely! We design our women group tours to make it convenient, fun, and safe for women travellers. While solo female trips give you the autonomy to pace your trip, group travelling is hassle-free and without the mental load of planning and organising. You travel with a group of like-minded women, make new friends, and share experiences for a lifetime. Join our Assam women trip to experience the joy of travelling with your tribe.

What are the company policies on smoking/drinking?

NOTE ABOUT SMOKING & ALCOHOL: Everyone joining is an adult and we cannot dictate how you should enjoy the trip. All we ask is to drink responsibly. Hangover delays are going to cost delays, and will not be tolerated at all. So please do not test your limits and enjoy in moderation. Also, do respect your roommate’s comfort levels with the alcohol smell and avoid drinking in the room if she is not comfortable. If you smoke, please do so outside the room, even if the rooms have ashtray.

How does F5 Escapes promote responsible and sustainable tourism?

When we travel, we visit somebody’s home, be it a city, village or a place of stay. We treat them with utmost respect. We encourage all our guests to leave no trace, only footprints. We recommend carrying one's own steel water bottles. Most places of stay we partner with provide clean drinking water and water is available for refill. Small shift, big impact. We are mindful about our group not littering the destination. We try choosing vendors who make a conscious effort to employ locals, thereby enabling us to give back to the local economy. We encourage local handicrafts and on several trips we visit local artisans. We try to reduce overcrowding by travelling in small groups of maximum 12 people. We support women-led enterprises and seek them out on our travels. We work with local organisations across India involved in conservation, culture preservation and employment generation.

Kaziranga with family - Best vacation

My wife, our 7 year old and I booked a trip to Kaziranga...I can safely say that it was among the best vacations we have had... The arrangements themselves were absolute top notch and just as described...Every bit of the itinerary had built-in buffers and options for food included and the level of detail was unmatched... (...) has set the gold standard in terms of what to expect from travel companies and we cannot recommend F5 Escapes enough.
