Our Purpose & Mission
At BanBanjara Travels, we believe that the mountains have a way of making everything clear. Our mission is simple: take you safely to the summit of Netravati Peak, give you memories that last a lifetime, and bring you back home with a heart full of stories.
We started because we saw a gap. Most operators treat Netravati as just another trail to tick off. We treat it as an experience to be crafted — from the pre-trek briefing to the celebratory chai at the top.
Every batch we take is small (max 15 people), every guide is trained in wilderness first aid, and every itinerary is built around one principle: leave no trace, take only memories.
What Drives Us
Our Core Values
Safety First
Every guide carries a first-aid kit and is certified in wilderness first aid. Route conditions are assessed every single batch.
Leave No Trace
We carry all our waste back. No plastic on the trail, no noise after sunset, no shortcuts that damage the ecosystem.
Local-First
Our guides are from the villages surrounding the Ghats. Your trek fees go directly to supporting local livelihoods and conservation.
BanBanjara Travels LLP
BanBanjara Travels LLP is registered under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, India. We are a dedicated team of trekking enthusiasts, ecologists, and logistics professionals who have spent years exploring the Western Ghats before we ever led anyone else through it.
Netravati Peak — standing at approximately 1,563 m in the Chikmagalur district — is our flagship offering. The route passes through Shola forests, alpine meadows, and granite ridge lines that feel like the edge of the world. We know every stone on this trail, and we want you to love every step of it.
When you book with us, you're not just paying for logistics. You're paying for a team that has your back, a guide who knows the trail in every season, and an experience designed to push you just enough — and no more.
