About us

We are a group of Himalayan Lovers

When humans set their feet and eyes on the Himalaya, it is a romantic meeting between the Earth´s youngest species and the earth´s youngest mountain. As the Himalayan mountains have developed on Earth, the evolution of humans has also been accompanied by the making of an inner Himalaya. Every human has a Himalaya within himself or herself. It is the peak of human potential and challenge as well as a place of silence and peace. Our Journey started in the humble roots & persistent efforts of an authentic mountain trek leader, Bachan Rana, who founded Himalaya Shelter in 2013.

During his extensive 13-year-long period of serving in the Trekking and Adventure segment, Bachan Rana felt that nowadays, when everyone is focusing on quantity of trekkers, he should prioritize the quality of the work. With the vision of providing a customized experience to the trekkers, he founded the organization. Since he was born in the remote mountain village in the Himalayas, he was familiar with the hardships the villagers face there. In order to help the local villagers, Himalaya Shelter encourages employment for locals by focusing on hiring employees mainly from the Himalayan mountain villages. Hence, we are vocal for local. Himalaya Shelter also invests in their training and studies so that they can turn into well-trained individuals and develop leadership qualities in themselves.

Keeping the batch size limited from 8-12 helps Himalaya Shelter to individually take care of everyone\'s needs so that everyone can enjoy the trek thoroughly. Due to its commitment to providing the best services to the trekkers, the organization, which initially focused on operating treks starting from the Sankri region, expanded its wings and soared throughout Uttarakhand in a very short period. This was just the beginning. By consistently providing prominent services, Himalaya Shelter soon marked its presence in the states of Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, and northeastern states of India. Nowadays, Himalaya Shelter organizes customized trekking programs for Winter treks, Summer treks, Monsoon treks, High mountain passes treks, Glacier treks, Cultural Exploration treks, and many others.

All the members of Team Himalaya Shelter have their own unique qualities that positively contribute to the organization\'s growth. Our certified trek leaders are trained in reputed institutes and possess the ability to deal with all kinds of situations. We have hosted trekkers of all age groups, from children to aged trekkers/nature lovers. Our courteous staff is well-trained to serve all the clients and take care of their needs. Himalaya Shelter has had the privilege to work with reputed schools and corporate companies by successfully conducting educational treks for school students and special treks for corporate groups in Uttarakhand and Kashmir. We have the provision to design customized trekking programs for individuals considering their special requirements.

At Himalaya Shelter, we believe in providing the best quality equipment. Not only do we provide the best quality equipment, but our cooks also provide hygienic and wholesome food to our trekkers. Himalaya Shelter\'s trek food menu is designed considering the requirements of trekkers from all around the globe. We take pride in saying that Himalaya Shelter provides the best food during the treks. We encourage villagers to grow organic food, and when given the chance, we use organic ingredients to cook food and feed the same to our valued trekkers.

Himalaya Shelter is well concerned about climate change and tries to avoid the use of plastic as much as possible. Moreover, we always maintain cleanliness in and around our campsite. Himalaya Shelter takes great care to preserve the natural water resources in the Himalayas.
