how we travel

Leave life alone, and it will flourish.

It's our first rule. We'd rather miss a photo than stress an animal.

No playback. Ever.We don't play recorded calls to pull birds out. It stresses them, especially when they're breeding.
Distance over closenessWe keep back from nests, roosts and animals, and we don't chase anything that moves off.
No baiting, no flashWe don't feed wildlife for a photo, and we don't use flash on birds or at night.
Small groups, local handsSmall groups only. We work with local naturalists, drivers and homestays.
We carry it outEvery wrapper and bottle comes back with us.
Season-awareWe don't push into forests during closures or wander off-route into sensitive areas.

about us

For the travellers, by the travellers

Our mission

“The world is a book, and those who don't travel read only one page.”

At We Rove we put the experiences of Rovers, for Rovers, in one place, so the love and care you'd want while travelling is there for anyone who needs it. We're building a community held together by trust and affection, and our goal is simple: to give everyone a reason to travel, with quality and security always first.

Our story

A wise man once said, “Adventure is out there”, and we truly believe it. One fine Republic Day, while roaming the jungles of Corbett, our friend, a veteran mountaineer and naturalist turned tour operator (and a bird lover, not to forget), suggested a community that could help people everywhere travel more smoothly. Others had been turning over similar ideas, the kind of work that gives a deeper satisfaction than any corporate job could. We believe that community should connect Rovers with fellow Rovers, to find the best of places: common, uncommon, unexplored and popular.

Meet the team

We are a group of passionate travellers and photographers from four different states. We met through a shared love of the outdoors in Delhi NCR, and decided to work together.

questions

FAQ

The things people ask us most. If yours isn't here, we're only a call or a message away.

How much does a trip cost?

It depends on the park, the number of safaris, the stay and the group size. You get an all-in price before you pay anything.

Can you guarantee a tiger sighting?

No one honestly can. We maximise your chances with the right season, zones and number of drives.

Do I need experience for birding?

Not at all. We pace walks for beginners. Serious birders can send us their target species.

When should I book?

Safaris sell out in peak season, in both summer and winter, so we recommend booking as soon as you know your dates. As a rule of thumb, book 2–3 months ahead. Birding trips are more flexible, but earlier is still better.

What's included, and what's not?

In general, we include pick-up and drop between the nearest airport, railway or bus station and the location, food, lodging, and safaris with guides. Some guests only want lodging, a guide and food, and we can do that too. Not included: extra food and drinks, tips, and flights or travel to the location. We can arrange travel for you, but the price will be higher. Anything not listed as included is excluded, and we confirm everything in writing with your itinerary.

How big can the group be?

For safaris we recommend groups in multiples of four. A jeep can seat up to six guests, but that can be a tight fit, so four is the comfortable number. For birding, up to six is a good size. We can take larger groups, but we may split them into smaller ones, so everyone gets better coverage and the wildlife is disturbed less.

What ID do I need?

Every guest needs a valid photo ID for safari permits: Aadhaar, passport, driving licence or a similar government ID. International guests need their passport.

Can kids and senior travellers join?

Yes. If a trip may be hard for a particular age group, we'll tell you honestly, and we can make special arrangements for any age. Children must travel with their parents or guardians.

How do payments work, and what if I need to cancel?

To confirm a trip we take a 25% advance by bank transfer or UPI, and the balance is due 30 days before the trip. This can change for a specific itinerary, so it's best to talk to us. Our prices include all taxes. Our refund terms are in the Cancellation & refund policy.

How do I book?

Call or WhatsApp us on +91 96543 43996. Tell us where and when, and we'll send an itinerary with a clear price.
