Everything you need to know about memberships, trips, safety and more.
SastiTripsWale is a travel-focused community platform. Members can discover trips, host their own trips, join trips other members have created, form travel clubs, and connect with fellow travelers who share similar travel interests.
Browse and join trips, host your own trip, create or join a travel club, browse the member directory, send connection requests, chat with other members, and build a travel-focused profile with verification badges.
Yes - once you have an active membership and a complete verified profile, you can host a trip by setting the route, dates, a per-head budget estimate, vehicle type and available seats. You review and accept or decline join requests.
Yes - browse open trips by destination, dates, vehicle type or budget, and send a join request. The trip's host reviews and accepts or declines it. Membership and a complete profile are required to join.
Use the member directory to search by name, city, or interests, then send a connection request from a member's profile. Once connected, you can message each other directly, in addition to any shared trip or club group chat.
Your membership fee is a platform/membership fee - it pays for access to SastiTripsWale's premium features (hosting trips, joining trips, creating clubs, connecting with members) for a fixed 6-month or 1-year period. It is not a payment for any specific trip, booking, or third-party travel service.
The Trip Pass is a lighter, pay-per-trip alternative to membership, for members who just want to try SastiTripsWale on a few trips - ₹29 for 1 host + 1 join credit, ₹49 for 2 + 2, or ₹59 for 3 + 3. Hosting a trip spends a host credit; a join request that's accepted spends a join credit (declined or withdrawn requests are refunded automatically). It only covers hosting/joining a regular trip - clubs, connections, and messaging still need a membership. No coupon codes apply to it, and buying another pass tops up whatever credits you already have.
At signup you choose which travel-group composition you'd like to see and be part of - single-gender (Only Male / Only Female) or mixed (Male + Female). This is a safety and comfort preference, similar to women-only travel groups, and it sets which of two membership price tiers applies. It is not a dating, matchmaking, or relationship-matching feature.
Couples Mode is an optional trip setting that reserves paired seats for travelling couples on car trips, so a couple can join and travel together instead of being split up. It requires each partner's mobile number and an uploaded ID for verification, and is unrelated to membership pricing.
No. We are not a travel agency, tour operator, or travel-booking platform. Trips on SastiTripsWale are created and organized by members themselves - we provide the platform that connects them.
No. We do not book, sell, or arrange flights, hotels, buses, or holiday packages. Any travel arrangements for a trip are made independently by the members participating in it.
No. When a trip is created, the host enters an estimated per-head budget purely for other members' planning purposes - it's a display calculation (total ÷ people), not a payment collected through the Platform. Any actual cost-sharing between travelers happens directly between them, outside SastiTripsWale.
No. Your uploaded ID documents and live selfie are visible only to you and to our admin verification team. Other members only see that you carry a "Verified" badge, never the documents themselves.
Membership is a one-time payment for a fixed period, not a recurring subscription - so there's no future charge to cancel. If you stop using the Platform, your membership simply runs until its expiry date and does not renew automatically.
Once activated, membership is non-refundable except for duplicate charges or a payment that was deducted but never activated your membership. See our full Cancellation & Refund Policy for details.
