Start with travel time

For a Mumbai team, the journey decides the programme. Leaving on a weekday afternoon can mean several hours in traffic before the expressway. If the offsite is one night, stay within about two hours; for anything further, plan two nights.

Then check rooms and meeting space

On twin sharing you need about half your headcount in rooms, plus singles for anyone who can’t share. Ask for the meeting room capacity in your layout — theatre style fits far more than a boardroom or cabaret layout.

Timing

Book 6–10 weeks ahead, and by October for December and January offsites — they’re the busiest months for company events. For the contract terms to check (cut-off date, attrition, deposit), see how to book hotel rooms for a group.
