About This Tour

Swadeshi Traveller Community (STC) is a STARTUP INDIA, MSME, and ATOAI certified group travel operator running regular weekend departures from Bengaluru and Hyderabad.

The Kodaikanal package is built around one priority: covering the destination thoroughly, without hidden costs, complicated logistics, or uncertainty about what's included. Every STC trip operates with a dedicated trip captain who travels with the group for the entire duration. You are not handed a bus ticket and left to figure out the rest. The captain manages the sightseeing sequence, departure timings, and any adjustments needed on the ground. This is a group tour for people who want to travel without planning it themselves. The vehicle, the accommodation, and the itinerary are already organized. Your job is to show up at your pickup point on time.

Six Reasons to Choose This Tour

Why Travellers Choose This Journey

Every detail is chosen deliberately. Nothing is included by accident.

A Trip Captain Who Actually Travels With You

Your trip captain boards at Bengaluru and stays with the group until you're back. Not a support number. A person on the ground, managing the full experience from pickup to drop.

GUIDANCE

Reliable, Comfortable Group Transport

The entire journey runs on a Tempo Traveller or Mini Bus — no switching vehicles, no hiring autos at every stop. One vehicle, one group, one route.

COMFORT

Verified Accommodations, Triple/Quad Sharing

Accommodation is on a triple or quad sharing basis in verified rooms. If your preferred property is unavailable, a similar-category stay is arranged. No surprises on check-in.

STAY

Expert Local Knowledge Built Into the Itinerary

The two-day itinerary is tested and sequenced to make the most of available daylight and entry timings. You visit the right places in the right order — not whatever is closest.

EXPERTISE

Transparent Pricing, No Hidden Charges

The package price is ₹5,499/- per person. Entry tickets, food, and GST at 5% are excluded and stated clearly. What is listed under inclusions is what you get.

TRANSPARENCY

Personalized Support From Booking to Return

STC manages your experience from the moment you book until you're dropped back at Bengaluru. Questions before the trip, changes during the trip, and anything in between are handled by the team directly.
