Travel, unfiltered

Every place has a story it only tells the people it trusts.Unpacko is how you become one of them.

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.

This October

Two festivals. Two circles that don't usually open.

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.

Dasara. Mysuru's Royal Reign

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.

Dates: Oct 17–19, 2026
Group size: 6–8 women
Ideal for: Culturally curious women, 18–45

Why Unpacko

We didn't build a travel company. We built a way to actually belong somewhere, even for a few days.

01

Small on purpose

Six to eight people, never more. Big enough for company, small enough that you're never just a face in a tour group.

02

Led by someone from there

Every trip is shaped by a founder or host with real roots in the region — not a script read off a brochure.

03

The story is the souvenir

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.

We keep every group small, so seats fill fast. Join the list for early access to Mysuru Dasara and Bathukamma before we open bookings publicly.
