Package Inclusions
The Great Canara Trail trek package includes a comprehensive set of services to ensure a smooth trekking experience. Transportation from the base camp to the trek starting point and back is included in the package. All meals during the trek are provided, including breakfast, lunch, packed snacks, and dinner prepared by experienced camp cooks using fresh and nutritious ingredients. The menu is designed to provide adequate calories and nutrition for the physical demands of trekking at altitude.
Accommodation is provided in high-quality alpine tents at designated campsites along the route. Each tent is spacious enough for two trekkers and comes with sleeping bags and mats suitable for the expected temperatures. Professional trek leaders and support staff accompany every batch, ensuring a safe trek guide ratio of approximately 1:10. First aid kits and basic medical supplies are carried by the team at all times.
Permits and forest entry fees required for the Great Canara Trail are included in the package price. Trekkers don't need to worry about obtaining these independently. Camping equipment including tents, kitchen equipment, and dining shelters are all provided and maintained to high standards. Orientation sessions before the trek begin are included to familiarize trekkers with the route, safety protocols, and equipment usage.
Package Exclusions
While the package is comprehensive, certain items are not included and trekkers should budget for these separately. Personal trekking gear such as trekking shoes, backpack, trekking poles, and personal clothing are not provided and must be brought by each trekker. Travel to and from the base camp from your home city is not included – trekkers need to arrange their own transport to reach the designated meeting point.
Personal expenses including phone charging facilities at campsites, tips for support staff, and any personal shopping are excluded from the package. Travel insurance is strongly recommended but not included in the package price. Porter or mule services for carrying personal luggage beyond the allowed backpack weight limit of 8-10 kg may be available at additional cost. Emergency evacuation costs, while rare, are the responsibility of the trekker and can be covered through appropriate travel insurance.
Batch Dates and Availability
The Great Canara Trail trek operates in multiple batches throughout the trekking season. The best time to do this trek is during Mar – Jun, Sep – Nov, and most batches are scheduled during this period. Each batch accommodates between 15-25 trekkers to maintain a quality experience and minimize environmental impact. Early booking is recommended as popular dates fill up quickly, especially during weekends and holiday periods.
We run fixed departure batches every week during peak season and bi-weekly batches during shoulder season. Custom group departures can also be arranged for groups of 10 or more trekkers with flexible date options. Corporate batches and college group packages are available with special pricing and customized itineraries.
Fitness Requirements
As a Moderate trek, the Great Canara Trail requires a moderate level of fitness. Trekkers should be able to walk 8-12 kilometers per day on uneven terrain while carrying a daypack. Prior trekking experience is beneficial. A fitness routine including cardio, strength training, and hiking with a loaded backpack for 6-8 weeks before the trek is recommended.
