Get Know Us Better
About Us | Our Vision | Our Mission | Our Dedication
Our Journey started with the humble roots & persistent efforts of an authentic mountain trek leader, Mr. Bachan Rana is the man behind Himalaya Shelter. With over 20 years of experience leading numerous high-altitude treks, he founded Himalaya Shelter in 2013. He has undertaken training in Basic and Advanced Mountaineering (BMC & AMC) courses, water sports, CPR, and first aid from NOLS India & Indian Red Cross Society.
During his extensive 13-year-long period of serving in the Trekking and Adventure segment, when everyone was focusing on the number of trekkers, he prioritized 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 a remote mountain village in the Himalayas, he was familiar with the hardships the villagers faced there. 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 locals. Himalaya Shelter also invests in their training and studies so that they can turn into well-trained individuals and develop leadership qualities in themselves.

We Are Introducing The Great Himalaya Trail (GHT)
Carving a path through the mighty Himalaya from Himachal Pradesh to Ladakh, Ladakh to Kashmir, Kashmir to Uttarakhand and Uttarakhand to Sikkim the Great Himalaya Trail (GHT) is the longest and highest alpine walking track on Earth.
Make no mistake, this is a gruelling challenge requiring a high level of fitness, commitment and determination—but your hard work will be justly rewarded with a transformative journey through remote and remarkable environments on what is arguably the world’s most epic trek.
Soaking up a daily-changing landscape of spectacular views of the Himalaya, you’ll trek along winding mountain trails that lead to remote villages and rarely-visited valleys and ascend high passes between the snowcapped faces of the world’s highest peaks.
You’ll encounter the rich cultures of the isolated communities that welcome you along the way, and forge lifelong friendships with your fellow trekkers and support crew. As part of our commitment to sustainable tourism, we take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but footprints behind in these fragile mountain environments.
The GHT can be undertaken in one continuous trek of 120 days, but acknowledging that most of us simply don’t have the luxury of this sort of time for our adventures, we’ve crafted Different stages that can be completed individually or trekked together to make up the full traverse.
GHT is offering all the Highest Passes in India above 5000 meters.

I have been travelling with Himalayan Shelter for two years now, and it has been an absolutely wonderful experience. The guides are extremely knowledgeable, talented, and responsible. They were also very generous and supportive throughout the trek, always ready to help and motivate everyone. Thanks to their excellent planning, guidance, and constant encouragement, the trek never felt exhausting at all. Safety, comfort, and group morale were clearly their top priorities. I felt well taken care of at every step.
Iftiker Alom
This trek turned out to be completely unexpected in the best possible way. Although everything was unplanned, the entire journey unfolded beautifully and was full of pleasant surprises. Bachan Da’s storytelling and the way he shared his experiences throughout the trek made the journey truly special, it was engaging, warm, and memorable. The homestay arrangements were excellent comfortable, welcoming, and well managed. The service provided throughout the trek was outstanding, and the care and support from both Bachan Da and Rocky Da were genuinely exceptional. Their company made the trek even more enjoyable and reassuring. The summit was breathtakingly beautiful and absolutely worth the effort. Both the journey and the destination were remarkably scenic and enriching. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and I would highly recommend trekking with them to anyone looking for a meaningful and well guided adventure.

Just completed a trek to Dayara Bugyal with HimalayaShelter. We had a wonderful experience thanks to the team. Not only were the arrangements top-notch, but their flexibility with our plan changes, genuine warmth, encouragement, and of course, the yummy hot food served lovingly made it all the more special. Highly recommend Himalaya Shelter.
Shashishekhar Chaugule
Trust Bachchan and his team at Himalaya Shelter for a well-organized, comfortable trek. We did Dayara Bugiyal with them in December 2025 and would surely love to come back for more.
Vineet Dravid
We trekked with Himalaya Shelter in Dec '25. The entire trek was excellently organised. Attention to detail was commendable and every possibility was accounted for by the team. The entire team was committed and worked from 4 to 10 to ensure the trek was incident free and pleasurable. Special mention to their commitment to the environment. They minimised waste and there was no plastic throughout the trek. Highly recommended!
Koustav9
It was a great trek❤️❤️ The behaviour and the familiarity they have the shown in the entire tour was amazing. Looking forward to some more adventures with this group😊😊

We organized our team offsite for 23 member team through Himalayan Shelter, and the experience was absolutely outstanding. From start to finish, everything was managed with great care and attention to detail. Tushar and Bachan added thoughtful personal touches throughout the journey, ensuring that every small requirement was taken care of during our trek from Chopta to Chandrashila. Our CEO and CTO joined us from the US, and they thoroughly enjoyed every bit of the experience, which speaks volumes about the quality of planning and execution. The food and accommodation were extremely hygienic, comfortable, and well-organized, and the transportation arranged for the team was smooth and top-notch. Overall, Himalayan Shelter went above and beyond to make our offsite memorable, seamless, and truly enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to plan a well-curated and hassle-free trekking or team offsite experience in the Himalayas.
Vishal Reddy
Had a wonderful experience at Kedarkantha. The trek was beautifully organized, and the entire journey was smooth and memorable. A special mention to our guide Tirupan Rana — extremely knowledgeable, calm, supportive, and always motivating throughout the trek. He ensured everyone felt safe, comfortable, and confident, especially during challenging sections. His local insights and positive attitude truly enhanced the overall experience. The arrangements, food, and campsite management were well taken care of, making the trek enjoyable even in tough weather conditions. The only minor drawback was the unavailability of hot water for bathing, which was manageable considering the terrain and weather. Overall, a fantastic experience and highly recommended — especially with a guide like Tirupan Rana, who made the trek even more special.

Suresh Dhulipala
I have been waiting to trek in Himalayas for a very long time and Aancha Top Trek is my first trek in the region and with Himalaya Shelter. My experience is really wonderful with breathtaking sceneries in the Himalayas wilderness as well as with the Himalaya Shelters team. We were the first batch of Aancha Top Trek as its newly added trek with no crowd at all on the trek, team has executed it very well. Bachan Rana ji also accompanied with the team for this trek along with the guide Mr. Saurav. We had very enlightened long discussions about other treks, local cultures and the traditions of the region. We had yummy food throughout the trek and I really loved the evening soup. Bachan ji and his team is very professional and I am really happy that I chose them for my forst every trek and looking forward for other treks in the near future. Thank you so much for your time and dedication team 🙏

Second trek with Himalaya Shelter, and they still managed to blow me away! After a fantastic experience at Kedarkantha last January, I didn’t hesitate to book with Himalaya Shelter again for a trek to Aancha Top (3800m) near Ranachatti. As a local Uttarakhand business, they bring an authenticity and professionalism that is hard to find elsewhere. What makes them stand out is their flexibility and the "little" details that aren't so little when you're at high altitude. Case in point: freshly made Gulab Jamun served at 3800m! There were no restrictions on quantity, and the entire menu was consistently great. A huge shoutout to our guide, Mr. Saurav, and the kitchen/support staff who were incredibly helpful throughout. We were also joined by the founder, Mr. Rana, as this was their inaugural trek to Aancha Top. Getting to know him was a highlight; he is a wonderful person who is genuinely open to feedback and new ideas to improve the hiker's experience. If you are looking for a professional, flexible, and warm trekking partner in the Himalayas, look no further. I’m already planning my third trip with them. Thank you, Himalaya Shelter!
Sidhesh Narse

The food was surprisingly good even in tough conditions, and the campsite arrangements were comfortable and clean.

An unforgettable adventure with Himalaya Shelter! I recently completed the Dayara Bugyal Trek with Himalaya Shelter, and the experience was absolutely incredible. The entire team was professional, well-organized, and genuinely caring from start to finish. Our guides were knowledgeable and attentive, always prioritizing safety while keeping the journey fun and engaging. The campsites were clean and comfortable, the food was delicious (a huge bonus at high altitude!), and the support staff went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt at ease. Himalaya Shelter truly made this adventure memorable. Highly recommended for anyone planning the Dayara Bugyal Trek or any Himalayan trek!
Charita Negi
We recently completed the Kedarkantha trek with a group of 8, and the overall experience exceeded expectations. The safety standards were top-notch, with certified trek leaders who managed every situation with real operational maturity. The food was surprisingly tasty and consistently well-organized, which kept our team energized throughout the journey. A special mention to the founder, Mr. Bachan Rana, whose humility and hands-on leadership truly elevate the service quality. Himalaya Shelter delivered a seamless trekking experience backed by strong on-ground execution. Highly recommended for anyone planning a structured and safe Himalayan adventure.

An Unforgettable Experience! My Kedarkantha trek with Himalaya Shelter was absolutely incredible. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized. The guides were knowledgeable, supportive, and truly passionate about the mountains, which made the entire journey feel safe and enjoyable. The campsites were scenic and well-maintained, the food was surprisingly delicious for high-altitude conditions, and every small detail was taken care of with professionalism. The team ensured we stayed motivated and comfortable throughout, and their warmth and hospitality made the trek even more memorable. Reaching the Kedarkantha summit at sunrise was a moment I will never forget breathtaking views, fresh snow, and a sense of accomplishment made possible by the amazing Himalaya Shelter crew. Highly recommended to anyone planning the Kedarkantha trek. Himalaya Shelter truly delivers a world class mountain experience!
Bhaskar Majumder
An unforgettable Kedarkantha experience with Himalaya Shelter! I recently completed the Kedarkantha trek with Himalaya Shelter, and the entire journey was absolutely amazing. The team was extremely professional, well-organized, and truly caring. From the very first briefing to the summit push, everything was handled smoothly. The trek leaders were knowledgeable, always checking on every trekker’s comfort and safety. The support staff cooked fresh, delicious meals even in freezing temperatures, and the campsites were clean, warm, and beautifully located. The quality of tents, sleeping bags, and gears provided was also top-notch. What I loved most was their attention to detail—they maintained a sustainable, eco-friendly approach throughout the trek and made sure everyone felt included and motivated. Thanks to Himalaya Shelter, the Kedarkantha summit felt special, safe, and memorable. Highly recommended for anyone planning their first or next Himalayan trek! 🏔️✨
Carolyn Windler
I did the Nag Tibba trek with guide Mukesh early December and had a great experience. Coordinating in advance via WhatsApp with the company was super easy. Everything went smoothly, on time, and as described, without any issues. The hike to see the sunrise was lovely. And the absolute highlight was my guide Mukesh — he is SO kind, so knowledgeable, speaks excellent English, and you can tell he just loves the mountains. He treats everyone (from locals to guests) with the most generosity. He picks up trash from others to keep the mountain preserved. He made my experience excellent!
Chinmay joshi
The overall experience of the trek was outstanding. The guides , Nitin, Arjun and Chetan were extremely helpful throughout the trek.. everything was excellent...the stay, the food, the guidance. One of the best experiences of my life.
Rashee Rohatgi
Had an amazing trek to the Kunjapuri Devi Temple with Himalaya Shelter. Our departure got delayed and so we hiked after sunset for a huge portion of the trek but Bachan Rama made sure I got to temple and back safely. Greatly appreciated 🙏🏽
Phitchayakon Piemthongkham
The Kuari pass trek was so amazing. It was such a great experience with this trek. Especially, the staff is so nice and kind. They always take care of the trekker. The food also delicious! If I came to India again, I’ll definitely use this agency again.
Pooja Sinha
The trek was amazing. The guide was really helpful, light minded, and had a lot of patience. He helped us wherever possible, be it mental upliftment or filling out water bottles. The locals and the host were all so hospitable, friendly and celebrated the tourist's excitement without demeaning it in any way. I loved everything about this trek, from timely food to helping us with bandaids during the trek, evrything was perfect. It was overall a fabulous experience and I am totally looking forward to do it again, with himalayan shelter. Thankyou so much for making my first trekking experience and absolute 10/10
Darshil Shah
We recently completed the Nag Tibba Trek Trek Dates: 17th–18th November 2025 Organized by: Himalaya Shelter It was an amazing trek and truly one of the best experiences we’ve had. The management, food, guide, and overall support from the entire staff were wonderful. A special thanks and heartfelt appreciation to Tanisha and Mahesh bhai for managing the entire trip so smoothly. 🙌🏔️✨ This was my second experience with Himalaya Shelter, and now I truly feel that “Trekking to Bachan Rana (Himalaya Shelter) sathe j karvu” The trust, management, and overall vibe make every trek unforgettable. 🏔️✨
suresh nair
We had the opportunity to do a weeklong trek to Rupin Supin with the Team Himalaya Shelter, and we enjoyed it very much! The team was very supportive during our journey, along with well-planned meals and safe accommodations. Special shoutout to Bachan Rana for managing our trip with so much care; it was much appreciated. Overall, it was a very enjoyable time, highly recommended for everyone!
Dripta Sur
I went on my first-ever solo trip and choosing Himalaya Shelter for my Har Ki Dun trek turned out to be one of the most transformative experiences of my life. ✨ From day one the team has made sure I was safe and comfortable. Starting my journey from Sankri to the end everything was perfect and I am writing this review being overwhelmed in the best possible way. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I miss each and every food from the trip. Our cook has made some amazing meals for us each day, my trek leader was very knowledgeable and calm and supportive throughout the trek and the best part of the trip was from day one, the team made me feel like a part of a family. The hospitality was absolutely really wonderful and the entire journey was filled with laughter, stories, and self- discovery. Walking through the peaceful valleys and connecting with people from different walks of life reminded me how beautiful life can be when you step out of your comfort zone. Himalaya Shelter didn’t just organise a trek, they gave me memories for a lifetime. ♥️
Ashutosh Ghate
My wife and I completed the Kedarkantha Trek with Himalaya Shelter in the second week of November 2025, and the overall experience was truly wonderful and satisfying. Even though there were no other participants in our fixed-departure batch, the company neither cancelled our trek nor asked for any additional charges, which we deeply appreciated. Our trek leader, Ms. Tanisha Chauhan, and support staff/cook, Mr. Tirpan, were both extremely helpful. Tanisha accompanied us throughout the trek and patiently guided us across difficult sections, offering support whenever needed. Despite her limited experience, she tried to handle the trek responsibly. Mr. Tirpan is an excellent cook, and we thoroughly enjoyed every meal he prepared—whether it was dal, pakode, pasta, soups, or other dishes. He consistently served hot, delicious food on time, which made the trek even more enjoyable. Overall, the service provided by Himalaya Shelter was exceptional. I would like to thank Mr. Tushar (co-ordinator), Mr. Tirpan, Ms. Tanisha, and the entire Himalaya Shelter team for making our trek a memorable one.

Exceptional Family Trek Experience with Himalaya Shelter We recently completed the Fachu Kandi trek in Uttarkashi with Himalaya Shelter, and it turned out to be one of our most memorable adventures. Having done family treks across Sikkim for the past five years, we’re used to a well-coordinated team, quality equipment, and a relaxed pace. This was our first trek outside Sikkim – and without our usual crew – so expectations were high. Right from the start, Bachan Rana and his team impressed us with their professionalism and warmth. They were quick to respond, understood exactly what we wanted, and planned the trek as well as our post-trek holiday to perfection. The trek itself was beautifully organised. We began with a night at their Sankri guesthouse, where we met our wonderful support team. Throughout the trek, they went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, safety, and well-being, supported by excellent equipment and thoughtful planning. Special thanks to: * Rajender ji (Orri Mama) and Simran, our trek leads – they truly made the journey extraordinary. Mama’s deep local knowledge, cheerful energy, and unshakeable commitment kept us motivated through every climb, while Simran’s gentle presence, patience, and instinctive care brought balance and calm to the group. Their teamwork ensured we felt safe, cared for, and always in great spirits. * Tirpan, Bablu, and Goldy, the trek’s true backbone – handling everything from cooking to camp setup, logistics, and managing the mules/horses. Their versatility, ever-smiling faces, and delicious food made each campsite feel like home. * Deepak, our driver – patient, reliable, and non-intrusive, ensuring every long drive was smooth and relaxed. All in all, Himalaya Shelter delivered an outstanding experience – professional, personal, and full of heart. This marks the beginning of our adventures with them, and we’ll surely be back soon for the next one.
SAHASTRA RASHMI
I have been trekking with Himalaya Shelter for over 10 years with multiple groups. The current trek to Phulara Ridge and Pushtara meadows (the trek was to Fachu Kandi Pass but we teaked the itinerary due to heavy snow cover), was 5th trek in a row. Him Shelter has an excellent staff and service. They have provided very flexible, customised treks with very good support and equipment. They are professional and courteous and as per me the best, most reliable trekking company in India. They have been and will remain my go to people for anyt trekking in the future.

Himalaya Shelter arranged our Fachu Kandi Pass trek, which was fantastically managed by their team. Mukesh and Tanisha, our guides, along with the entire support crew, were extremely helpful, professional, and caring — ensuring every part of the trek was safe, enjoyable, and truly memorable. Their coordination and attention to detail made the whole experience seamless. The stay at Himalaya Shelter in Sankri was equally impressive. The accommodation is clean, comfortable, and beautifully built considering the challenging mountain terrain. Facilities are well maintained, and the place has a warm, homely vibe — just what you need before and after a long trek. A special mention to Bachchan Rana, who owns the place, and Amit, who manages it with great dedication. Both are incredibly helpful and go out of their way to make guests feel welcome. Overall, an excellent experience — both the trek and the stay. Highly recommended for anyone planning a trek or visit to Sankri!
Palli 5000
A group of us had a private tour to Kinjapuri. We were driven to the temple. (Thank you Mahesh for your safe driving). We watched the sunrise then were given breakfast. We then started our hike to Neer waterfall. This was a steep climb down however we were well supported by our guides Tanisha, Bachan Rana and Nitin.thank you for looking after us. Definitely worth using this company.
Gaurav Johri
Till now I have 2 hikes with Himalaya Shelter. Dodi Tall and Fachu kandi pass, excellent arrangement, excellent staff..in short it was amazing experience. Will highly recommend them for helping arranging any hike.
Venkatesh Veeraraghavan
We were a group of 12 people on the Fachu Kandi Pass Trek. When it comes to trekking, Himalaya Shelters are the best in the business. Safety and comfort of everyone is their priority, resulting in the best trekking experience. Best in class equipments (tents etc), knowledgeable and experienced guides, cook, and helpful support staff who ensure each minor detail is taken care and updated. Stay away from big commercial establishments and embrace Himalayas with Himalaya shelter.
Sumit Negi
We had a very comfortable and enjoyable trip with Himalayan Shelter. The food was really good and everything was well managed. Special thanks to Mukesh Bhaiya and Simran Di for being such amazing guides and always taking care of us. They made the trip even more memorable. Highly recommend Himalayan Shelter for a safe and fun experience! 🌄
Anna Will
We had a great trek up Nag Tibba with Mukesh, he was a great guide and we loved the campsite where we played cricket and had delicious food and lots of chai. Deepak was also a very safe on the windy roads to Pantwari. Trek was steep at points, so tiring in the heat but you saw amazing stars ahead of sunrise. Would highly recommend Himalaya Shelter!
Li Wen Toh
I did the Buran Ghati private trek in September 2025 as a solo traveller with Himalaya Shelter. It was an unforgettable trek with stunning, highly varied landscapes every single day, jaw – dropping views and the opportunity to witness local life, since many shepherds use this route to drive their herds down to the village for winter. Better still, Buran Ghati trek remains a hidden gem and I had all this mostly to myself. A big part of the incredible experience was the Himalaya Shelter trekking team, who was committed to ensuring I was safe, comfortable and enjoying every moment. First of all, I was very lucky to have Bachan Rana himself as my trekking guide. Having grown up in the mountains and founding Himalaya Shelter, Bachan is an excellent conversationalist and experienced trekking guide with so many stories to tell. Meanwhile, the cook, Bablu, provided delicious meals (I still remember the spring rolls!) throughout the trek. He also worked closely with the mule man to do the hard work of pitching the tents, packing up, loading and unloading the mules. The team looked after me really well with high quality equipment – my home for 5 nights was a large North Face tent and a very warm sleeping bag. Finally, Himalaya Shelter was very flexible in customizing my itinerary before and after the trek to my requirements and also helping to book good hotels along the way. Thank you so much Himalaya Shelter for an amazing adventure! I will be back to do another trek…now if I can just decide which one 😊 - Li Wen, Singapore

It was a really great experience with the Himalayan shelter, top-notch hospitality.
Ranjit Singh
I did the Nag Tibba trek with my friend, and it was my first trek ever — such an awesome experience! The views were beautiful, the food was super tasty, and the base camp was really nice and comfortable. Our trek leader was very friendly and made the whole journey fun and safe. I totally loved it and would 100% recommend this trek to anyone, especially if it’s your first one! 🏔️✨
Bharat Korlapati
We were a group of 3 doing our first trek - Bali Pass Trek. 1. Experience while booking the trek was flexible and accommodating. 2. Prep at Sankri (starting point) before the trek could have been better. If there was checklist read out at Sankri we wouldn't have missed packing a couple of important items but somehow we managed 3. Some rental gear not so good but most of the items needed are available 4. Sonu was a knowledgeable guide and pays attention to detail. I found it a bit hard to build rapport with him but it got better as the trek continued. Wish he made us do warm up/cool down every day but otherwise he knew his stuff 5. Sanjay was a great chef. Tasty and hot, hit the spot every time. We looked forward to it at the end of each day's trek 6. Haridev and Goldie were great help and kept our mood up by cracking joke and singing songs.

The Har Ki Dun trek with Himalaya Shelter was pure magic. From the first step to the final descent, everything was beautifully organized — warm food, cozy tents, and the kindest team you could ask for. We even witnessed snowfall, and despite the tough conditions, our trek captain SONU & RANA special thanks to them went above and beyond — making the right calls, keeping us safe, and lifting everyone’s spirits. Their dedication truly made the journey special and the cook’s effort to serve hot, comforting food in freezing conditions spoke volumes of their commitment. This wasn’t just a trek; it was an experience I’ll cherish forever. 💙 Grateful to Himalaya Shelter for making the mountains feel like home 💫 Here’s to many more trails together! ❄️⛰️
Shweta
Had a great experience trekking to Har ki doon with Himalaya Shelter. Our trek guides Surinder and Simran are trained mountaineers and knew well about the villages and places on the trek route. The camping tents were comfortable and the food was yum every day! Will be trekking again with them :)

Had an unforgettable experience trekking with Himalaya Shelter. Big thanks to our fantastic guides Simranji and Nitin Bhaiyya who were super supportive and full of positive energy. The cook and mule team were incredible too, always ahead of us with everything set up by the time we arrived. The food was surprisingly amazing for a mountain trek, and the transport services were smooth despite the tough terrain. And a special shoutout to Simba the dog, our adorable furry companion who made the journey even more special! Thanks to the whole Himalaya Shelter team and Bachan Sir for a well-organized and memorable adventure!

We were a small group of 3 on Buran Ghati Trek and honestly it turned out to be a beautiful experience. Our trek leader Sonu, cook Mr. Suresh, and Mr. Jashpal were really good at what they do and made sure we were well taken care of throughout I’m quite a curious cat, always asking questions, and Sonu was patient- sharing insights about the trek, the trails, and the surroundings. That added so much more meaning to the journey. Their gear was also spot on, which gave us a lot of confidence along the way Karthi and I have done our fair share of treks, but this was Kishore’s very first one. Watching him enjoy it just as much made it even more special All in all, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would wholeheartedly recommend Himalayan Shelter if you’re planning a trek Himalayan Shelter, pls call us for your next KGL Batch

From start to finish everything went perfectly — communication, organization, and execution of the trip. The goal was a trek through the Himalayan valleys, combined with learning about nature and the life of local people. All of this was achieved, and on top of that, the food was delicious. Considering the conditions in which it was prepared, it tasted really good. A truly great, well-rounded experience. Thank you!

Absolutely unforgettable experience with Himalaya Shelter! We recently completed our 4N/5D Valley of Flowers trek with Himalaya Shelter, and I couldn't be more impressed. From start to finish, everything was exceptionally well-organized — from the itinerary and accommodation to the food and logistics. The team was also wonderfully flexible, accommodating our needs without any hassle. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the journey. They ensured our safety, comfort, and enjoyment every step of the way, allowing us to truly immerse ourselves in the beauty of the Himalayas without any stress. I highly recommend Himalaya Shelter to everyone looking for a well-curated and memorable trekking experience.

Our recent trip with Himalaya Shelter was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning at Dehradun to Chamoli district, Ghangaria trek, Valley of Flowers, Badrinath Temple, Rudraprayag, and finally Rishikesh – every single arrangement was planned and executed perfectly. The entire itinerary was thoughtfully designed, with smooth transitions between destinations and excellent hospitality throughout. The guide Mr Somu was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and supportive, ensuring that we were comfortable and well-informed during the entire journey. Special appreciation to Mr. Bachan, the in-charge of our trip, who personally accompanied us and made the whole experience even more memorable with his guidance and experience. All aspects of the trip – accommodation, food, transport, trekking arrangements, and local guidance – were handled flawlessly. Truly, 10/10 on every parameter. I would highly recommend Himalaya Shelter to anyone planning a trek or trip in Uttarakhand. Their professionalism, warmth, and expertise make them the best choice for exploring the beauty of the Himalayas

We were a small group of five people from Greece. Bali pass trek was a challenging trek because Maria, Tzortzina Sofia and Despina had never been trekking at this altitude. Our leader Rana was exeptional because very supporting and very professional taking care of all details. We went up slowly with all safety we needed. The équipement was perfect (North Face Four Seasons) the food as well. All the team was the best we could get and I am in the position to say that because I did many treks in Indian Hymalayas. This trek has been a Life expérience with all kindness and safety that Rana provides. Thank you for this great expérience. Hari Om.

The Pin Bhabha Pass Trek in July 2025 was a Beautiful Experience. It was very well organised by the team and the trek leaders Adarsh, Tripan, Jassu and the Kitchen team who made the yummiest food for us in these temperatures. Starting from the base camp, the Stay at the base camp Kafnu was warm and comforting with amazing view of the river. As we started the trek day with tasty breakfast, the weather got better and we completed the day 1 at Mulling. All the Campsites were beautiful, especially the one at Phutsirang. The trek leaders were very supportive on the Summit day when the trekkers needed it the most. We safely summited the Pass and entered into the beautiful Spiti valley with vast landscape and later visited the serene Chandratal lake. All thanks to the team at Himalaya Shelter. Cheers!

My wife and I completed the Gangotri–Gaumukh–Tapovan trek in June 2025, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The views throughout the route were absolutely breathtaking, and we’re so grateful to have successfully completed this trek! We chose Himalaya Shelter because of their deep experience with treks in this region, as well as their flexibility with scheduling and payments. From the very beginning, Bachchan Rana ji was a pleasure to work with—always approachable, responsive, and reassuring. The team provided top-quality gear, including sturdy tents, sleeping bags with liners, and even pillows, which made a big difference in staying comfortably amidst unpredictable mountain weather. What truly made this trek special was the amazing team that supported us every step of the way. Our two trek guides, Tripan and Tanisha, were outstanding. Tanisha was always by our side, helping with multiple tasks during the trek and offering constant encouragement. Tripan, in particular, stood out with his versatile skills and experience. He guided us safely through the toughest parts of the trek, especially the challenging stretch from Gaumukh to Tapovan. He guided us very well through the dangerous rockfall zones. A very special mention must go to Bablu ji, who was not only our cook but also an experienced trekker and mountaineer. His meals were thoughtfully planned with the right balance of salt, carbs, protein, and sugar—essential for high-altitude endurance. Every meal was timely, nourishing, and delicious. Beyond cooking, Bablu ji also shared valuable insights about the terrain and surrounding peaks, enriching our experience even further. Our porters were extremely supportive—strong, knowledgeable, and always ready to lend a hand. Whether it was helping us cross the Ganga or pulling the trolley at Bhojbasa, or assisting, they went above and beyond. Last but not least, both our drivers (for the journey to and from the base) were incredibly flexible and safe. When our plans changed and we needed to reach Rishikesh instead of Dehradun, they navigated tough road closures and traffic with a smile, ensuring we reached our hotel safely and comfortably. We are truly grateful for their dedication. Overall, this Gaumukh–Tapovan trek would not have been possible—let alone so memorable—without the unwavering support and professionalism of Himalaya Shelter. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team, especially Tripan, Tanisha, Bablu ji, and Bachchan Rana ji, for making this adventure so smooth, safe, and unforgettable!

Kedarkantha Trek with Himalaya Shelter – I recently completed the Kedarkantha trek with Himalaya Shelter, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived until the end of the trek, everything was exceptionally well-organized and thoughtfully planned. 🏔️ Trek Leader & Team: Our trek leader was highly experienced, supportive, and always prioritized our safety. The entire support staff, including the kitchen and porters, were extremely humble and hardworking — always greeting us with smiles and hot chai at the perfect times. ⛺ Stay & Food: The tents and sleeping bags provided were of great quality and kept us warm even in sub-zero temperatures. The food was surprisingly delicious and wholesome – from hot pakoras to sweet halwa, every meal felt like a treat in the mountains! 🌲 Scenic Beauty: Of course, the Kedarkantha trail is mesmerizing – snow-clad peaks, dense pine forests, and unforgettable sunrises. But what made it even more special was the way Himalaya Shelter allowed us to soak in the beauty without any stress. 💯 Overall Experience: Professional, friendly, and nature-respecting — Himalaya Shelter truly sets a benchmark for Himalayan trekking. I would 100% recommend them to anyone planning a trek in the region. Trust them to make your mountain dreams come true!

Couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to trekking!

It was really a great experience with Himalaya Shelter on Bali Pass Trek .This was my first ever experience with this company. I have done a lot of treks with many companies , but with Himalaya shelter I got way better facilities than others. Guide Nitin was very genuine and he was taking care of every little little things. Even how can we forget Cook Sanju . He surprised us everyday. This company organises treks in Uttrakhand, Himachal & Kashmir as well. I would highly recommend if you are planning for any trek. Done this trek on 13 June 2025 .

Your calm presence, humble nature, and constant willingness to help made this trek unforgettable.Your knowledge, patience, and genuine care for each of us showed your true passion on the Buranghati pass day. We started 1 hour later than other trekkers and we reach the campsite 1 hour before other trekkers. Thanks a lot.

I just had the most incredible experience on the Rupin Pass with Himalaya Shelter. Everything was perfect and beyond expectations. Bachan and his team made this trek an unforgettable moment. They are the most human, lovely, open and joyful team ever. The cook put all his heart in every breakfast, lunch or chai he served us. The mountains guides Bachan and Nitin took care of every member of the team regarding their level of fitness assuring that each person could have the best mountain experience ! And never the less the all team with the mules were always helping us smiling. After a week all together it really felt like a little family and especially as Himalaya Shelter organize small group trekking. All the equipments they use are high quality items and make the trek so comfortable. Concerning the Rupin Pass, it has the most magical scenery and it changes every day. You go from rainy forest to impressive waterfalls ending up to the Rupin pass summit at 4650m of altitude. A wonderful journey that I highly recommend. A huge thank you again and I will see you soon !
