4 Years. Thousands of Trekkers. One Most-Loved Monsoon Experience.
When monsoon treks flood your feed with offers, HTC’s Blockbuster Combo stands apart.
This is not just another Andharban, Devkund and Lohagad package. It is a monsoon experience trusted, upgraded and perfected by HTC over the last 5 years through real execution, real feedback and real terrain experience.
While many sell the route, HTC delivers the complete experience.
Infinity Rainwater Pool Stay at Lohagad
A private campsite reserved exclusively for HTC participants, making this one of the most unique monsoon stays in the region.
Complimentary Lunch
Lunch is included during the trek, so participants can focus on the experience without worrying about basic arrangements.
HTC Raincoat
Every participant receives an HTC raincoat to support them during the monsoon trail.
Trekking Gaiters
Gaiters are provided for added protection and comfort during wet and muddy trail sections.
HTC Cap
An HTC cap is included as part of the participant gear.
Snack Pack
A basic snack pack is provided to help maintain energy during the trek.
Essential Trek Kit

Experienced HTC Trek Leaders
The trek is led by trained HTC trek leaders with strong knowledge of Sahyadri terrain, monsoon trails and group handling.
The Blockbuster Combo is not just about covering Andharban, Devkund Falls and Lohagad.
It is about the stay, the gear, the safety, the planning, the backend support and the execution.
Everything is curated exclusively for HTC trekkers, which is why this combo has been one of HTC’s most selected monsoon experiences for the last 4 years.
Monsoon treks are very different from regular treks. The terrain changes quickly, water levels can rise, trails become slippery and weather conditions can shift without warning.
Executing a monsoon trek safely requires experience, planning and strong ground knowledge.
HTC has been leading monsoon treks since 2011. Our trek leaders are trained to handle terrain, weather, group movement and on-ground situations with responsibility.
HTC has a dedicated backend team that supports trek leaders throughout the event.
From stay coordination and vehicle movement to route updates and operational support, the backend team helps ensure that every event moves as planned.
All HTC monsoon treks are designed by our core team with over 15 years of experience in the Sahyadri terrain.
Routes are not picked randomly. They are tested, planned and executed with safety, timing and participant experience in mind.
Many first-time trekkers may get attracted to lower prices. But the most important part of any monsoon trek is not just completing it.
It is completing it safely.
Safety comes with trained leaders, route planning, backend support, tested stays, reliable vehicles and a registered organization behind the event.
With HTC, you are not just choosing a monsoon Instagram page. You are choosing a team that takes responsibility for your complete experience.
Whether you join HTC or not, choose wisely.
Do basic research about the company, page or team you are travelling with. Your safety matters more than any discount.
