no booking button. (that's the point.)

the vibe check

we don't take everyone. not gatekeeping, just making sure you're travelling with fun people. that's the whole point of a seat here: the people, chosen on purpose.

first

join the waitlist.

two minutes. tell us who you are.

then

vibe check.

a quick chat. not an interview, god promise.

then

you're in.

the full plan comes to you.

done

lock your seat.

pay the booking amount and enter the group chat!

why so much? because it's not the place, it's the people.

people you'll meet

this is a small group, and most travellers are coming solo or with a friend. everyone has passed a vibe check call with parth, a chat to see if they're curious, kind and up for everything neverhome.

not telling. yet.

someone you probably already follow. announced before the trip; the waitlist hears first.

after your vibe check

you.

came alone? most people do. you'll leave with a group chat.

WHAT FUN PEOPLE. my biggest question before the trip was - log kaise honge. and boy did i have the craziest time with them. It shows how much effort these guys have put in curating the crowd.

Travellers in a tuk-tuk
can i come alone?

most people do. you will feel at home with a never home trip. what more? you'll likley leave with a group chat.

what if i am an introvert?

we get it. not everyone opens up the same way. we give you your space and when you want, our host and headliner are here to make you feel involved, comfortable and ensure you have a great time.

what's a vibe check?

a short, easy chat so we know the trip and the crowd are your kind of thing.

how much does it cost?

₹69,500 per person, land only. see what's covered in the pages above . the nye extension is +₹24,500. GST 5% and TCS 2% applicable as per govt taxes.

how does the nye extension work?

it's optional. two more nights in hiriketiya, 31 dec to 2 jan, with the craziest beach party at midnight. tick it on the waitlist form.

do i need a visa?

indian passport holders travel on a free sri lanka eta. apply online at eta.gov.lk before you fly.

who books my flights?

you do. flights aren't included, so you're free to book whatever works for your dates and budget.

who is neverhome?

a curated group-travel club. parth hosts every trip; small and luxury groups over mass-market tours. each profile goes through screening so you get to go with the best people only!

how do you ensure safety for solo female travellers?

we maintain a healthy gender ratio on trips. women get to choose if they want a female roomie only. amongst the trip host and headliner, atleast one is always a woman. we only work with vetted local partners.

what if something goes wrong?

your trip homie and the on-ground team are reachable the whole trip. emergency contacts and an escalation plan are shared with the group before you land.

who do i reach out to for help on trip?

parth (your host homie), the trip homie ( aka your trip bestie) and the on-ground team are with the group the entire time, not just on call.
