My 5 day tour planned by Offbeat Tracks was excellent, very relaxing and peaceful. I was travelling with my mother who is 74 and the itinerary was customised accordingly, though we were travelling everyday, changing hotels daily we never felt any discomfort as the travel was easy paced. The cab was comfortable and the driver who was also our guide was very helpful and showed us maximum places possible. The hotels were good with excellent food and service. Once the trip was finalised Offbeat Tracks took all responsibility and I didn't have to bother about anything, Thanks Vandhna and team for an excellent holiday

We booked a 1-week trip to Bhutan, and it was extremely well planned and executed by the Offbeat Tracks team.
They were open to personalizing and making changes to the itinerary and plan according to our wishes. It required some persistence and a couple of email exchanges for everything to fall in order.
During the trip, we were made to feel safe and comfortable by the on-ground team. Keep in mind that the actual tour is conducted by separate local personnel for whom Offbeat Tracks is only the Indian partner, so a lot of your trip experience will depend on them. That said the good local guides prefer to work with good partners and hence agencies with good credentials have an advantage.

I will definitely recommend Offbeat Tracks, but only if you want to personalize and are prepared to shell out a little extra.

We did a 9 day trip with my husband and some friends. First, we went to Ladakh and then to Kashmir. And it was one of the best trips of our lives!
First of all, it's always difficult to make a tailor-made trip for a group, because each one has their preferences and their budget. Well then: Vandana, from Offbeat tracks, organized the perfect trip for us taking into account everyone's preferences. She was very patient listening to our doubts and questions and was always friendly and helpful. She made us a beautiful route with incredible landscapes, sightseeings and unique experiences: regional dances, native music, authentic ladakhi food in a family's home, sleeping in a housboat in the Dal Lake of Srinagar, ski in Gulmarg... Both the drivers and the guides were super friendly, and they were helpful and made us have a great experience at both locations.
The hotels were beautiful and very comfortable. We only had a couple of unforeseen events with them (not because of the agency, it was the hotel's fault) and from Offbeat tracks they fixed it for us very quickly. They were aware of us throughout the trip, asking us daily how we were doing and if everything had gone well. We felt very accompanied by them.
We are already thinking about our next trip and, without a doubt, we will repeat with them!
Thank you again Vandana and Offbeat tracks team for this amazing trip.

The agency did a great job planning our trip to Rajasthan. They were responsive, adaptive, and very mindful of the types of hotels we requested, and experiences we wanted to have. They were very clear and prepared in sharing an itinerary and stuck to it throughout the trip. They also checked in on us at multiple points to ensure we were on track for our travel. Highly recommend this agency if you are new to India or looking to plan a nice family trip

We booked a trip through Jodhpur and Jaipur with guided English tours, authentic cuisine, a bike ride through the Pink City and accommodations. The hotels the team chose were phenomenal and our favorite activity was the cycle tour

It took 3 calls 4 mails and 5 WApp msgs to get our curated itinerary for Spiti full circuit.
The travel was seamless and the people received us at various places were warm, courteous and served us great food. The youngest traveller in the group is aged 3 and was very well taken care off.

We loved the stay in Kalpa (amazing view of the KinnaurKailash) , mud houses of Tabo (view of the majestic mountains) and the home@Kaza.

You have got great team Vandana, kudos ! Thanks to Prakriti, Sudha and Devansh. Pls convey our wishes to the people in Tabo, Navank from Kaza and to Sonu bhai, our driver and guide for their Service during our visit.

Where are you taking us next !!

Had an awesome experience on Saturday evening. Bohra Thaal in Secunderabad, Telangana ..Home dining with a wonderful home chef Khadija.

She does make the most awesome food we could kill for (amazing kulfis, smoked kheema samosas, daal samosas, chicken cheese kebabs, paneer kebabs, Dal poori with succulent and finger-licking mutton, fabulous daal-chawal with palida, super gol sherbet and watermelon coolers, rounded off with a paan..).. Her warm hospitality and gentle, patient explanations of the customs and recipes of the Bohra Muslims make her a wonder host. Add to all that, her very supportive and helpful husband Mushtaq completed the family experience. They both made us feel very special and very welcome too.

It is always a small group...Only between 4-8 people max, since Khadija cooks all on her own, and all food is freshly made.

I did a 6-day/5 nights-tour to Bhutan with Offbeat Tracks and I must admit, I could not have been a happier customer.
I ended up deciding for the trip quite late, but Offbeat Tracks helped me arrange everything tailored to my liking. Even managing the Visa and SDF fee process for me with short notice.
Sudha drafted an itinerary with a few options and called me shortly thereafter to discuss and make sure everything was to my liking, and we amended a few items in the plan.
My tour was absolutely amazing, Bhutan is a wonderful wonderful country that I would recommend anyone and everyone to go to 😊🙏
Also a big big thanks to my excellent tourguide Mr. Kencho and driver Mr. Chundu for the entire trip, making my experience truly unforgettable and showing me a lot of the local life and the authentic Bhutan.

Came across Offbeat tracks ~Vandana and later her team, through Insta.....started conversations about my travel to Manali in Dec '2020, then finally travelled in June'2021. Lagom Stay was suggested and I decided it would be the place for me. Being a solo traveler, I was looking for an easy paced out experience. Entire end to end was taken care of by Vandana and her team. I liked the easy going , free flowing visits in and around Manali, soaking in the environment, the culture, enjoying the food, very hospitable people and I could not have asked for a better and more relaxed way to spend 10 days. All my fastidious needs were taken care of by her and the hosts at Lagom Stay, Jagatsukh Village, very well. Looking forward to exploring more places with Offbeat tracks.

While Bhutan itself is an incredible country, our trip was deeply overshadowed by a series of frustrating, upsetting and stressful encounters with Offbeat Tracks. From the start, their communication was awful— unanswered emails, being passed between staff, and constant chasing them for updates. This disorganisation extended to their international payment process, which was riddled with problems and delays on their part, that pointed to a lack of experience with international transactions. Despite providing proof of payment, they claimed non-receipt and even threatened to cancel our trip days before departure!

Although proof of payment was shown in multiple ways, Offbeat Tracks continued harassing us for payment throughout the beginning of our trip. They repeatedly contacted us and our guides demanding payment, forcing us to waste our holiday time addressing this. This was supposed to be a holiday where everything was handled for us, yet we were constantly drawn into resolving their mistakes.

An apology from Offbeat Tracks was only offered after we formally complained upon returning home. This lack of proactive accountability did little to make up for the significant distress they caused and the lasting impact their poor customer service had on our wellbeing and the trip. What should have been a relaxing and memorable holiday was unfortunately tainted by avoidable stress and disappointment.

Offbeat Tracks' unprofessionalism and utter incompetence turned our dream trip into a stressful ordeal. We DO NOT recommend Offbeat Tracks services.

Offbeat Tracks helped us organize a 2-day trip to Belur/Halebeidu in Karnataka and a 4-day trip to Thekkady and Cochin in Kerala. Offbeat Tracks helped us organize all of our lodging, activities, and transportation. Everyone we worked with was super responsive and attentive to our requests. They made sure our final schedule reflected exactly what we wanted.

Our schedule was packed with exciting activities and every place we stayed in was great. Offbeat Tracks also paired us up with amazing drivers and guides. We are very happy with our trip and our decision to work with Offbeat Tracks!
