About the organiser
Muddie Trails✓ Verified
980 trips completed · since 2016 · ★ 4.7
Muddie Trails has been running weekend trips and treks out of Bengaluru since 2016, with a second base in Hyderabad. Groups stay small, every departure has a trip captain on ground, and roughly seven in ten travellers book solo — so the WhatsApp group goes out three days before departure and nobody arrives at Majestic not knowing anyone.

★ 5 · Captain made the trip
Our trip lead knew every trail, every tea shop and every shortcut. Also handled a twisted ankle in the group calmly, which says more than any itinerary.
★ 5 · Would recommend to solo women
Female trip lead, verified stay, and the group was respectful throughout. Felt safe the entire trip, including the night trek portion.
