Your welcome meeting with your Facilitator guide and group will begin around 5-6 pm, although we suggest getting here earlier to enjoy some free time to explore.

  • On your final day, we recommend booking flights in the afternoon so you can take it easy in the morning. The checkout is at 12 pm.

  • We recommend having a read-through of the itinerary above, and getting in touch if you have specific questions on fitness here.

    This adventure is fast-paced, however, the activities aren’t too strenuous so it is a fantastic trip for those with a normal level of fitness who want to see a lot in their time here. We also design our flow where we give enough downtime & space to explore on your own pace as well.

  • We don't offer airport transfers to the hotel because of the different arrival times. We recommend contacting your fellow travellers on the WhatsApp group to coordinate if anyone is landing around the same time and taking a cab to the hotel with them. It is well connected by metros and buses as well.

  • The luggage allowance for the transfers is 23kg. We will be travelling between the cities via trains.

  • Please be aware that the itinerary, experiences, and hotels are subject to change. These changes are rare but can happen with little notice due to availability, poor weather, seasonal changes, or other circumstances beyond our control – but we’ll always do our best to ensure it has little impact on your experience. From time to time, we may also make changes to your itinerary to try out new ideas and keep things fresh and exciting which we will always try and communicate to you.

  • 1. Changes & Transfers

    • Request all changes in writing (by the lead traveler) as early as possible.

    • We’ll do our best to accommodate your request but cannot guarantee it.

    • A ₹7,000 administration fee + any supplier charges applies per change.

    • Changes to dates or tours allowed up to 60 days before departure; after that, they’ll be treated as cancellations.

    • You may transfer your booking up to three times (each transfer incurs the ₹7,000 fee). Further transfers require payment of any outstanding fees.

    • If we can’t accommodate your change and you opt out, it’s treated as a cancellation.

    2. Cancellations

    • Notify us in writing—cancellation takes effect on the date we receive your notice.

    • Cancellation charges per person (excluding admin fees & insurance):

      • More than 90 days before departure: your full deposit is retained

      • 45–89 days: 50% of total tour cost

      • 30–44 days: 75% of total tour cost

For the Shared Love of Travel

Deepak Ramola - Author
UNESCO Kindness Ambassador

“For a writer like me, travel and people are my biggest sources of creativity. This experience inspired a lot of my recent work.”

Ney - Founder, Khoobsurat

“At this age, it's not easy to step out and just make new friends. Everything changed on this trip.”

Rupal - Celebrity Yoga Trainer

“The Vietnamese culture is so vibrant and humbling, it inspired me to switch things up back home.”

Intrigued?

Why did we start Bucketlist?

As creators, founders ourselves, we know that travelling the world has made us more aware about the world outside & inside. We find travel to be an excellent facilitator of new ideas, perspectives & inspiration — something extremely critical for unlocking your potential. Bucketlist intends to create access to global experiences that help people level up.

How does it work?

Bucketlist curates its travellers, which means not everyone can buy a ticket. To join an adventure, you need to request an invite, after which the team screens your request and sends you an invite if Bucketlist is relevant to you. Once you get your invite, you can make a 20% advance payment to confirm your spot.

How much does it cost?

Bucketlists cost approximately the same as you’d spend on a solo vacation in that destination. However, the value add you get is curated folks, handcrafted experiences & a journey that feels like a flow.

Who leads the journeys?

Our journeys are designed in collaboration with the very people who know them best: handpicked local creators and globetrotters whose passion is your passport to inspiration. If it doesn’t inspire them, it won’t inspire you. Simple! On ground, our facilitators anchor the editions-end to end-so all you have to do is show up and dive into the adventure.

Who will I meet?

You’ll connect with a curated mix of passionate adventurers - think culture curators hunting hidden gems, experience collectors, social energisers who spark instant camaraderie, and idea alchemists turning sunset chats into “aha” moments. Each person’s handpicked for positivity, curiosity, and a shared love of levelling up through travel. Pack an open heart and get ready to meet your next lifelong friends!

Can I ask for travel assistance?

Our round-the-clock team means you will always get help when you need it. We want your travel to be smooth, so outside of the well-designed travel dashboard and curated guidebook, our team will be happy to assist with travel, visa, flights or additional bookings.

Why Bucketlist?

The World has a lot to offer / As creators & founders, we look for inspiration in everything we do. We don’t know where the next epiphanies lie. One of the ways we’ve found to engineer serendipity, level up & create space for epiphanies is through new experiences & travel.

We have a lot to share / Hosting festivals, BHX, collaborating with brands and exploring the world has taught us a few things about creating experiences that move - creating communities where none exist.

You asked for it / Everytime we’ve hungout with creators, founders, movement makers, culture shifters in Shillong or in Berlin — they haven’t stopped asking us for more. SOTC, Solo Travel & travelling with friends just doesn’t cut it for them. And there is a big big world to explore. We wished for this and you asked for it.
