Group size
8–40
Lead time
8–12 weeks
Focus
The annual plan written in the same boardroom looks like last year's. Away from the inbox, the hard calls, portfolio, people, pace, get made and minuted.
Candour
Two evenings around one table do what a quarter of leadership meetings can't. The disagreements that stall execution finally get said out loud.
Cadence
Teams that offsite twice a year develop a planning cadence, commitments made at altitude get reviewed at the next one.
Sample programmes
Day 1
Arrive, decompress, frame
Flights into Kangra, transfers to a mountain lodge taken exclusively for the group. Evening framing dinner: the two questions this offsite must answer, agreed before the first session.
Day 2
The deep-work day
Morning strategy block in a soundproofed room with full AV and print. Guided deodar-forest walk after lunch, the corridor conversations happen here. Second session before an unhurried dinner.
Day 3
Decisions and owners
Closing session: decisions logged, owners named, review date set. Free afternoon, spa, walk, or silence. Celebratory closing dinner with the mountains doing the staging.
Day 4
Return sharp
Early breakfast and transfers timed to Delhi/Mumbai connections. The decision log and session notes reach every participant the same day.

“We've held the same three disagreements in our Monday meeting for a year. They got resolved on a walk between two sessions.”
Wellness Offsite, Dharamshala
Mountain-side reset with mindfulness workshops, yoga mornings, and distraction-free leadership dialogue.
Session rooms are exclusive-use, venue staff are briefed on confidentiality, and printed material is collected and destroyed or returned. For listed-company boards we work under NDA as standard.
Yes, we maintain a bench of external facilitators and executive coaches and will shortlist two or three matched to your agenda. Many teams bring their own; we then handle everything around the room.
Eight is the practical floor for the format's economics; below that we'd recommend a founders' retreat variant at a smaller property. The ceiling is about 40 before it becomes a conference.
Venues are vetted for dedicated bandwidth and mobile coverage before we propose them. The usual pattern is connected mornings, device-light evenings, enforced by agenda design, not by the venue.
We issue full GST invoices in the company's name. Whether input credit applies depends on how your auditors classify the spend, documented business agendas and session records help, and we provide both. Your finance team makes the final call.

Headcount, rough dates and what the trip needs to achieve. That's all we need to come back with venues, a sample flow and an indicative budget.
