DATES & PRICES
Price per person
TWIN SHARING vs SOLO TRAVELER:
We recommend joining our expedition with a partner to enhance your experience. Sharing a vehicle allows you to alternate driving experience, ensuring a more relaxed and scenic journey.
When joining with a partner, accommodations will be arranged on a twin-share basis.
Nomadic Road's policy is to never team up strangers unless explicitly requested. However, if you're a solo explorer willing to partner with another solo traveller, we'll facilitate an introduction to ensure compatibility before pairing you together. In such cases, you'll share a vehicle but have the privacy of individual rooms.
A single supplement fee is applicable to have your own room.
If you're unable to find a partner to join the expedition with, you will be registered as a solo traveller.
We advise against having four adults in one vehicle, except for families with children, as it may compromise the driving experience and comfort for all parties involved.
*Rates are quoted per person (unless otherwise specified) and are subject to change. All prices are in US dollars and do not include airfare to and from your base location. Nomadic Road reserves the right to change the price without prior notice.
