GIO for International Travellers

Who are we?
Great Indian Outdoors (GIO) is a company dedicated to the bounty that the Majestic Himalayas has to offer. The company was founded on the basis of wanting to see places that are not often found on the average tourists map. Keeping with this Philosophy we are willing to go that extra mile to show our clients the splendours of the Himalayan region and basically have a great time doing so. We are firm believers and practitioners of the fun@work viewpoint. For specifics on the team please visit the about us link.
Also, despite our best efforts to do so we are often unable to mention all trips undertaken by us. If you have anything specific in mind do not hesitate to mail us.

Do you fit in?
Team GIO and its clientele are a diverse lot and we love it that was. We firmly believe that it is the diversity of the people on any trip that makes it that much more memorable. The age group of clients has varied from 8 to 75, so we are sure that most people would fit in. All we ask for is the basic enthusiasm for the outdoors (no hotel comforts) and we assure you that you will have the trip of a life time.

Want to reassure yourself?
No Sweat! We can provide you with references of clients who have traveled with us, if you need to put a voice to a mail, do call in and we would be happy to speak to you.

Insurance and Liability:
Traveling in the outdoors even at the best of times is an uncertain business, though team GIO is extremely through in its preparation for every trip there is no accounting for eventualities. Travel INSURANCE is a must and you must have a policy that provides you with the required cover, else get one for this trip. If you need any assistance towards that end either by way of information or costs we would be very happy to provide them to you. GIO assumes no liability or responsibility. However, all precautions and safety measures will be employed.

Assistance in India:
Typically our trips start from a particular place that is usually up country, but if you need to be picked up and dropped from a particular place we would be happy to do so. Also if you need any trip extensions to be organized that are not necessarily outdoor in nature we will be more than happy to put you in touch with (or arrange) some of our trusted associates in the business. In a nutshell we would be happy to provide any assistance that is required by you.
