Travel together, not with strangers.

Veena (and SOTC, Thomas Cook tours, IRCTC tours) sell fixed-departure seats — you buy a seat on a 30–35 person coach with strangers, on dates printed in their brochure. We sell the whole bus, your group only. Your dates, your pace, your dietary mix, your stop choices. Trade-off: usually 8–15% more than a per-seat coach price. Benefit: nobody you didn't invite, no waiting on 32 strangers at every photo stop.

Realistically 6–8 people for the per-head economics to work — below that we usually quote it as a Family/Couple trip with a private vehicle. Maximum is 80+ (we've run school batches up to 120 across two coaches with separate trip directors). Sweet spot is 12–25.

Yes, with caveats. Hotels block to your room count + 1 buffer; flights block separately. Adding within 14 days of departure is usually fine for hotels, harder for flights (depends on availability/fare class). Dropping people: deposit splits across the rest unless you cancel the whole trip. Trip director handles the math.

Yes — Bali, Thailand, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Switzerland, Dubai, Singapore are common cohorts. Visa support included (for the Indian passport holders in your group). Multi-country combos like Switzerland + Italy or Tanzania + Zanzibar are doable for groups of 10+ with enough lead time.

Per-head on the actual group size, not per-seat on a fixed coach. As your group grows the per-head drops — 8 people in a 14-seater traveller costs more per head than 14 people. We quote a base per-head with a sliding scale, so the final number lands as your RSVP closes.

Yes. We can issue split invoices, take payments from individual members, and reconcile on a master booking. Common for friend cohorts and college batches where one person doesn't want to front the whole trip.
