The story behind Bhatkanti with Dev

"Bhatkanti" means wandering, roaming, getting delightfully lost — and that's exactly what we set out to do in the Sahyadris.

Our story

From weekend treks to a full-time trail family

Bhatkanti with Dev started as a small group of friends chasing forts and monsoon clouds on weekends.

Every trek and tour we run reflects the same idea we started with: keep groups small, know the trail personally, and make sure everyone gets home safe with a story worth telling.

What we stand for

Our values on the trail

🌱

Leave no trace

We carry our trash back, respect local villages and forts, and teach every group responsible trekking.

🤝

Community over crowd

Small batches mean you actually get to know your fellow trekkers — many of our best friendships started on a trail.

📚

Trail knowledge, shared

Our guides share the history, ecology and folklore of every fort and peak — not just the route.
