What Trippers Say

★★★★★

"This was my third trip with One in the Orange Jacket and Vyshakh, after Egypt & Jordan and Bhutan,and each one has been unforgettable in its own way. From Dushanbe to Osh, through the Pamir mountains, every day brought breathtaking views, warm local stays, and seamless planning. We felt completely taken care of. But the best part? The people. We started as strangers and ended as a close-knit group,something that happens naturally on a Vyshakh-led trip. Grateful for yet another amazing journey."

"I'm an adventure guide from Cape Town, South Africa, travelling solo for the first time. I know adventure, having taken in excess of 5000 guests personally on mountain hikes and adventure tours. This one was the best! To put it simply, it's the connection and immersion I experienced. The hospitality, connection, empathy and love I felt from this group of strangers made this trip one which I will cherish for the rest of my life. They've managed to curate an off the beaten track adventure experience that anyone can participate in."

"It felt like living a scene from Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, as I checked off core memories from my travel bucket list. I chose skydiving in Queenstown, Team OJ struck the perfect balance between adrenaline and nature. A surprise highlight was the Coldplay concert. Vyshak was not only knowledgeable about every destination but also ensured that every member of our group felt comfortable and included. By the end of our journey, those who were once strangers on Day 1 had transformed into friends. Team OJ stands out for their commitment to delivering not just adventures, but lifelong memories."

Do you have a cancellation policy?

+

If Plans Change, We've Got You We totally get it, life happens, and sometimes your plans have to take a rain check. That's why we've kept our cancellation policy simple, transparent, and as kind as possible.

• 45+ days before the trip: 10% cancellation charge
• 30–44 days before the trip: 25% cancellation charge
• 15–29 days before the trip: 50% cancellation charge
• Within 14 days of the trip: 100% cancellation charge

These are calculated on the total trip amount, not just the token amount.

Now, if you can find someone to take your spot, we'll happily refund your full amount. No questions asked. Because at the end of the day, we'd rather have someone travel than hold back your money.

To keep your spot confirmed, please clear the remaining balance by the due date, it helps us lock in stays, permits, and experiences for the group. If payments are delayed beyond that, we'll have to treat it as a cancellation (same policy applies).

I'm coming solo. Is that a problem?

+
Most people come alone for my trips. About 25% of the people bring a friend or partner. Honestly it really doesn't matter. I have seen on all the batches I have led, most people really gel with everyone, even the ones who thought they wouldn't gel up, surprise themselves always with the way they got comfortable with everyone.

What are trips like with OJ?

+
Usually, most batch sizes are between 12-20 people who are aged between 16-38. Most people come alone or with a friend. The trip would feel like you are travelling more with college friends than strangers. We tend to do more outdoorsy things than regular trips.

For example : If we find a very pretty waterfall/ a beautiful sunset / Rainbow on the way. We would stop the vehicle right away to catch the beauty of it.

We usually sleep very late on these trips as we play a lot of group games and most people feel they will miss the precious time with the group members and decides to stay awake.

Do I need a visa for Oman? How do I apply?

+
Yes, Indian passport holders need an Oman e-visa (tourist visa). The visa is NOT included in the trip cost but is quick and easy to get online. We recommend applying 2–3 weeks before departure. Once you block your slot, we'll send you a detailed WhatsApp guide with e-visa links, required documents, and tips from past travellers. The e-visa costs around ₹1,500–2,000 and is typically approved within 24 hours.

Is the overnight desert camp included?

+
Yes! The Wahiba Sands overnight desert camp is the crown jewel of this trip, completely included in the cost. You'll experience dune bashing, a traditional Bedouin dinner under the stars, and sleep under skies so full of stars you won't believe they're real. It's magical, safe, and something you'll talk about forever.

What's the accommodation like?

+
You'll stay in 4-5 star boutique hotels in Muscat (first and last nights), comfortable guesthouses in mountain towns, and an authentic Bedouin desert camp in Wahiba Sands (the unforgettable highlight). All accommodations have been personally scouted by our team. Bedouin camps include traditional meals and sleeping under stars. Expect comfort, cultural authenticity, and stories that last a lifetime.
