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 to get the exact names of the accommodation used in the trip. Also, please note, most places of stay in this circuit will have double beds instead of twin beds. We will try to get separate blankets to sleep in.

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

Simple Indian food such as rotis/dal, rice etc. Toast/Omelettes will be available. Some restaurants/cafes will serve local cuisine as well. If you have special dietary requests, please let us know beforehand. It would also be a good idea to carry some meal packets with you if you have special requirements.

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

Absolutely! We design our women group tours to make it convenient, fun, and safe for women travellers. While solo 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 Kinnaur Sangla 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 realise that we cannot dictate the behaviour on how you should enjoy the trip. Each destination offers a locally brewed wine or beer and we would love for you to try them. All we ask is to drink responsibly. Alcohol on higher altitude helps in warming you up, but at the same time, can make you extremely dehydrated. And even smaller quantities can cause a hangover. Hangover delays are going to cost a lot, and will not be tolerated at all. So please do not test your limits and enjoy 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. Smoking at high altitude is not recommended.

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.
