Small groups. Real families. The India that doesn't show up in a brochure — Mysuru's royal Dasara and Telangana's Bathukamma, from the inside, this October.
Every Unpacko trip is capped at 6–8 travelers, led by someone who calls the region home — built around access and moments a regular tourist never gets close to.
The half of Dasara nobody shows you.
Four days inside a 400-year royal tradition — a heritage stay with a host family, hands-on Ayudha Puja and Gombe Habba rituals, a palace lit by a hundred thousand bulbs, and a private vantage point as the Golden Howdah passes on Vijayadashami itself.
Where every flower carries a blessing, every song a memory.
Hosted by a Hyderabadi who's celebrated this since childhood — build, wear, carry, and release your own Bathukamma alongside the women of a real neighborhood, on Saddula Bathukamma itself. A women-only group of 6–8, one home, nine days of tradition distilled into three.
Six to eight people, never more. Big enough for company, small enough that you're never just a face in a tour group.
Every trip is shaped by a founder or host with real roots in the region — not a script read off a brochure.
We document the trip for you, raw and real, so you leave with more than photos — you leave with a story worth telling.
Every place has a story it only tells the people it trusts.
Unpacko is how you become one of them.
