Show up alone, leave with a crew. How our trips turn strangers into trail family.
Over 60% of people who book Unanduwa trips sign up solo. And the overwhelming majority say the community aspect — not the trail itself — is what they remember most.
Hannah, who joined her first Unanduwa trip as a solo traveller in 2024, puts it simply: "I thought I was signing up for a hike. I ended up finding my hiking family."
Group trips solve the biggest barrier to solo adventure: the logistics. You don't need to research the trail, arrange transport, find a guide or figure out permits. You show up, and the experience begins.
But it's more than convenience. There's a specific energy that happens when 20 strangers set off up a mountain together. Shared suffering has a way of dissolving social barriers faster than almost any other shared experience.
We design our trips to create connection. Pre-trip WhatsApp groups let people meet before the trail. Our guides deliberately mix first-timers with experienced hikers. Shared meals and campfire evenings do the rest.
The result? Many of our most active community members first came as strangers on a solo booking. Now they're regulars who plan their calendars around Unanduwa departures and recruit their friends to join.
If you've been hesitating because you don't have hiking friends — that's exactly why you should come. You'll leave with them.
