The Taj Mahal of Bar Crawls: The India Edition

13 days

Easy

Thirteen days of palaces, pubs, curries, cows, cocktails and chaos. Sunrise brings temples and tuk-tuks; sunset brings bar crawls and beer towers. It’s a cultural adventure wrapped in spice, soaked in whisky and garnished with questionable selfies.
  • Pub Capital Pandemonium: Sip, crawl and stumble through Bengaluru’s breweries while dodging holy cows.
  • Wax Figure WTF: Mysore’s wax museum—where celebrities look more like melted candles than icons.
  • Coffee vs. Beer: Chikmagalur—choose between artisan coffee tastings or admitting you’d rather find another pint.
  • Ruin Ragers: Hampi—ancient temples, boulders the size of buses and your new favourite hangover backdrop.
  • Beach, Please: Goa—sun, sand, cocktails in buckets and cows casually supervising volleyball games.
  • Whisky Wizardry: Tour Paul John Distillery—award-winning single malts so smooth you’ll start writing poetry.
  • Silent Disco, Loud Regrets: Headphones on, shame off. Dance like nobody’s listening (even though they are).
  • Mumbai Mayhem: Beer towers at Leopold Café, rooftop cocktails and the grand finale at India’s first licensed bar.
What's included?
    • Beds & Breakfasts: Twin or single rooms in comfy hotels (snoring roommates are not covered under the refund policy).
    • Meals: Half board = breakfast + dinner. Bonus dinner on Day 2, goodbye breakfast on Day 13. Lunch? That’s your chance to chase street food roulette! May the spice odds be ever in your favour (pack a giant suitcase of Imodium).
    • Tickets to the Good Stuff: Palaces, ruins, caves and monuments. Single entry only - no sneaking back in pretending you “dropped your sunglasses.”
    • Fancy Wheels: Air-conditioned transport as marinating in your own sweat is not cultural immersion.
    • Guides Who Know Stuff: An English-speaking local and a Tipple Tours host (professional fun-makers and professional drinkers).
    • Wine Time: Vineyard tour & tasting at Big Banyan. Plenty of wine, six ways to embarrass yourself describing “notes of jammy nostalgia.”
    • Pub Shenanigans: Bangalore bar crawl - a guided journey into the sacred world of Indian craft beer.
    • Whisky Wonderland: VIP tour of Paul John Distillery in Goa. Whisky so smooth you’ll want to write poetry to it.
    • Feni Fiesta: Private tapas & Feni food trail in Goa. Bring your game face and possibly a helmet.
    • Epic Day Trips: Boat ride to Elephanta Caves and the crack-of-dawn “Mumbai by Sunrise” tour which is ideal for insomniacs and people who never went to bed.
    • Hydration Station: Two bottles of water a day to offset your questionable cocktail decisions.
    Exclusions
      • Booze Bills: Except on the official Bangalore pub crawl & Goa Feni trail, you’re on your own. Budget like an adult, drink like a student.
      • Lazy Day Transport in Goa: Exploring? Rent a scooter, hail a rickshaw or manifest a magic carpet.
      • Camera Fees: Some sites actually charge to use your phone. Think of it as paying for Facebook or Instagram likes in advance.
      • Life Admin: Laundry, room service, phone calls and that regrettable fourth margarita.
      • Tips: For drivers, local guides, waiters and basically everyone who prevents you from wandering into traffic or herds of cows.
      • Personal Shenanigans: Shopping sprees, midnight snack runs or anything not clearly under Included like that Sun, Sand & Samosas tattoo you’ll get in Goa.
      Please note
        • Cows Are Inevitable: They block roads, photobomb selfies and sometimes judge your beer choice. Respect the moo.
        • Spice Happens: Indian street food is amazing. It also doubles as Russian roulette for your stomach. Pack bravery (and Imodium).
        • Wine, Whisky, Repeat: This is not a detox retreat. Hydration = important. Hangovers = guaranteed.
        • Wax Figures Will Haunt You: Mysore’s wax museum will confuse your brain. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll question Elvis.
        • Tuk-Tuk Bar Crawls Are Extreme Sports: Helmets optional, beer mandatory.
        • Beach Cows Are Real: Yes, they wander into volleyball games. Yes, they always win.
        • History With a Chaser: You’ll get temples, palaces and ruins…served with cocktails, beers and questionable dance moves.
        • You Will Overshare: Something about Old Monk rum makes people confess things they really shouldn’t.
        What to bring
          • Stretchy Trousers: Curry, naan, craft beer…your waistband will thank you.
          • Flip-Flops: For the beach, the bars and that one time you accidentally follow a cow.
          • Spice Insurance: Imodium, Pepto or whatever your tummy trusts most. Street food roulette is real.
          • Sunglasses: Double as hangover shields and “don’t talk to me” signs.
          • Camera/Phone: No one will believe your wax museum photos otherwise.
          • Party Spirit: You’re joining tuk-tuk bar crawls and silent discos. Attitude required.
          • Small Backpack: Big enough for water bottles, small enough not to knock over shrine candles.
          • Sense of Humour: Essential for cows in traffic, melted wax Elvis and your karaoke performance.
