π― Why Shield Trip?
This is NOT a regular budget trip.
This is your first protection layer in monsoon trekking.
π― Safety Note:
Whether you book with HTC or not β
Please give your safety the first priority.
Cross-check the organization, the leaders, the experience.
Monsoon isn’t the season to experiment with cheap Instagram Ads.
Monsoon terrains are not like regular sightseeing.
Slippery rocks, unpredictable water force, sudden weather changes β your real shield here is EXPERIENCE.
β We know youβre seeing plenty of βΉ5999 ads floating around.
β We know these Instagram-based companies throw attractive offers, combos, and freebies at you.
β They sell it like a weekend picnic with glossy reels.
π But safety is not a discountable offer.
π Safety comes with trained leaders, tested routes, strong backend support, and years of handling monsoon terrains.
π And that experience comes at a cost.
HTC Shield Trip = Not just a trip. Itβs your safety net.
HTC Shield Trip = HTC Responsibility.
