Bamsaru Khal Trek Overview
The Bamsaru Khal trek is a remarkable adventure that takes you through the awe-inspiring beauty of the Garhwal Himalayas. Situated in Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand, at a towering altitude of 4600 meters above sea level, this trek promises breathtaking views and a profound connection with nature. Spanning over 6 to 7 days, the Bamsaru Khal trek is well-suited for adventurers seeking moderate challenges.
One of the major attractions of this trek is the opportunity to witness the Gangotri group of peaks in all their majestic glory. Bandarpoonch and Kala Nag peaks stand tall, glistening in the sunlight, offering a sight that is nothing short of spectacular. The trail leads you through picturesque meadows, alongside refreshing streams and to peaceful camping spots surrounded by nature's tranquility. The Himalayan wildlife and vegetation keep you engaged throughout the way.
The best time to trek to Bamsaru Khal is May-June and September-October, when weather conditions are most stable, the meadows are in full bloom and views of Himalayan peaks are clearly visible.
History of Bamsaru Khal Trek
The name Bamsaru derives from 'Bam Sarowar' which means lake on the left side. It is located slightly off-route near the khal (pass) and there are few lakes nearby; this might be the region that the pass has received this name. It connects two sacred rivers Bhagirathi (Ganga) and Yamuna. Locals believe that the nearby region of the pass was the place where Ganga and Yamuna once met before separating to flow through different valleys. Thus the Khal is seen as a symbolic confluence of these rivers' energies. Being a revered and spiritually significant place, many yogis and hermits have meditated here.
During the medieval time, the route around the Bamsaru Khal was part of the trans-Himalayan trade corridor which was mainly used by local communities. Locals from the Rawain region and Har ki Dun Valley Trek used these trails for trade like salt, wool and grain between Yamuna and Bhagirathi valleys. These routes had great strategic and economic importance. The Rajput rulers and few tribal clans possessed control over these routes.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, explorers and British surveyors started mapping the Himalayas. Bamsaru Khal was also mapped and noted in records for its high-altitude pass connecting the Harsil-Gangotri side to the Yamunotri region. Even after independence, the Bamsaru Khal region holds high strategic significance due to its proximity to the Indo-Tibetan border.
Highlights of the Bamsaru Khal Trek
- A Hidden Gem:
Bamsaru Khal is a high-altitude pass which reaches an elevation of around 4,600 m. Due to its high-altitude and less-known status, trekkers don't come here often which has helped it remain untouched and pristine. It's a hidden gem that most trekkers are unaware of but once you see its natural beauty and picturesque surroundings, you won't want to leave from here.
- Amphitheatre of Peaks:
Since it's surrounded by the majestic Himalayan peaks like Swargarohini and Bandarpunch, it forms like a natural amphitheatre. And when you see the reflection of these snow-clad peaks in the crystal-clear water of nearby lakes, it creates a breathtaking view. Especially during the sunrise and sunset, it looks more amazing. For photography lovers, this view is like a dream comes true.
- Historical Significance:
The trail of Bamsaru Khal connects Gangotri Valley to Yamunotri Valley. Historically this trail has a great significance as it was one of the major trade and pilgrimage routes used by locals and yogis. Trekkers have a chance to walk on the same ancient paths even today. It gives an enriching experience with a blend of history, geography and culture.
- Pristine Alpine Ecosystem:
Bamsaru Khal region possesses the rich alpine ecosystem with some rare Himalayan flora like Brahma Kamal and wild rhododendrons. Due to almost no human interference and eco-tourism, the biodiversity is at its best here. Mammals like Himalayan marmot and langur and a rich variety of birds can be seen here.
- Peaceful and Spiritual Vibes:
Bamsaru Khal lake region is the region where many sage and saints meditated. The region is also called 'Tapobhumi' (land of penance) for being a mediation spot for years. This spiritually charged region offers a peaceful and tranquil vibe to visitors. The natural surroundings help people to heal their souls and get a vision of clarity.
Difficulty Level of Bamsaru Khal Trek
Bamsaru Khal trek is considered a moderate to difficult and high-altitude trek. It is located at the altitude of approx 4,600 m (15,092 ft) above sea level in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand.
Bamsaru Khal trek is not suitable for kids, families and even beginners. It demands physical fitness, mental endurance and prior high-altitude trekking experience. The trek duration is typically about 6 to 7 days. Trekkers have to walk 6 to 9 hours daily along with covering the difficult and uneven terrain.
The terrain of Bamsaru Khal is highly diverse. It starts with dense forests, alpine meadows, moraine sections, snowfields and forest zones and offers a mix of challenging and beautiful landscapes. The paths also involve narrow trails, steep ascents, rocky patches and long glacier crossings.
Trekkers often require technical support as ropes, gaiters, crampons and guidance of experts. Due to it, solo trekking is not advisable. A certified guide or support team is highly recommended for safety, navigation and technical challenges.
Unpredictable weather sometimes adds more difficulty. The upper regions and the area around the pass mostly have sub-zero temperatures at night. Sudden snowfall, storms and rain are common in the region. The trek has remote routes which offer limited emergency exits. Most locations fall under isolated regions.
In short, Bamsaru Khal trek is best suited for experienced trekkers with good health, stamina and willingness. It takes you to a beautiful place but also demands seriousness in trekking and preparation.
Best time to visit the Bamsaru Khal Trek
The best time to do the Bamsaru Khal trek is from May to June and from September to mid-October. During this time, weather conditions are favourable for trekking and spending some time near the pass.
- May to June
During this time, snow on lower altitudes starts melting but you can find it on higher altitudes. However, it’s more settled by this time and chances of avalanches are less. Temperature is relatively moderate: around 10°C to 15°C in day time and can be around 0°C to 5°C at night time; trekkers must stay updated on the weather forecasts. Sudden rainfall and hailstorms can happen, especially in the afternoon. Alpine flora is in full bloom during this time.
- September to mid-October
Post monsoon, weather is more reliable as rainfall subsides by early September. Sky is clearer and visibility of mountain peaks are best. Daytime temperature is around 8°C to 14°C and at nighttime, it usually drops below 0°C, depending on lower and higher altitudes. From October, weather conditions can turn cooler so it's advisable to complete the trekking before mid October.
- Months to Avoid
Trekkers should avoid the monsoon season (July-August) due to heavy rainfall. It increases the risk of landslides and makes visibility very poor. Trails become slippery and leech-infested. Similarly, from mid-October to April is also not considered favourable due to cold temperature and heavy snowfall blocks the trails.
How to reach the Bamsaru Khal Trek
To reach Bamsaru Khal, you first need to reach Uttarkashi. You can take a bus or taxi from Dehradun to reach here. From Dehradun, Uttarkashi is around 150 km from Dehradun and takes about 6-7 hrs by road.
Once you reach Uttarkashi, the next stop is Harsil or Dharali which are small villages located around 70 km ahead. These villages serve as a basecamp for Bamsaru Khal lake trek. You can get a shared jeep or hire a private taxi from Uttarkashi to reach Harsil/Dharali.
From Harsil or Dharali, the trek to Bamsaru Khal Lake begins. The trek is remote, adventurous and generally takes 6 to 7 days depending on your pace and chosen itinerary. The route passes through dense forests, alpine meadows, high ridges and remote valleys. You will also cross the Bamsaru Khal Pass, which is located at around 4,600 meters.

We successfully completed Bali Pass Trek through Himalaya Shelter. A big Thank You to Mukesh and Suraj for ensuring highest levels of safety and comfort throughout the journey. Both of them are certified mountaineers. The fresh food prepared by Bablu Mama felt like a blessing throughout the journey, as we crossed the 16200 feet pass. This trekking organization is meticulously managed and operated by the down to earth entrepreneur Bachan Rana from Osla. The entire team shows great commitment towards the wellbeing of their guests. I strongly recommend Himalaya Shelter for any High Altitude trek or expedition.

It was an amazing experience, the trek was very well planned, we had an amazing crew to keep watch, of us our guide sonu negi was very experienced on high altitude and technical treks, this being our first high altitude trek it was quite an experience staying in tents which were set up before we got there, really delicious food made by our cook sanjay gave us freshly made hot food. And a helper along with us named vivek who was a local. The trek difficulty was moderate, on the surya top we got an amazing view of the gangotri and yamunotri ranges. The locations of the tents were very strategically well set up by the advice of sonu. He made sure we were all hydrated and well kept , All in all we thank himalayan shelters for making our experience very comfortable.

Outstanding Customised Surya Top Trek with Himalaya Shelter โ Premium Gear, Elite Guides & Exceptional Food! We recently completed the stunning Surya Top Trek organized by Himalaya Shelter, and they completely exceeded my expectations. If anyone wants a tailored and personalised, safe and premium trekking experience to this 12,900-foot peak, this company is as good as it gets. Perfectly Customised Itinerary. From the initial planning stages, the team at Himalaya Shelter was incredibly supportive, adapting the itinerary seamlessly to our groupโs specific preferences and pace. They focus on personalized experiences rather than massive, overcrowded commercial batches, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful forests and meadows of the Garhwal region fully. The guide with our team, Sonu Negi, was absolutely phenomenal. He has completed advanced training from the prestigious Himalayan Mountaineering Institute (HMI), and his deep technical knowledge and sharp safety instincts kept us feeling entirely secure. He wasn't just a leader; his encouraging nature, deep familiarity with the terrain, and mountain views (like Mt. Bandarpoonch and the Gangotri range) made the journey unforgettable. Most importantly, he prioritized our safety by proactively carrying portable oxygen and other critical emergency equipment. Since our group of 7 members was ranging from the age of 9 to 73 , this gave our entire group immense peace of mind. The food was an experience in itself. The Backcountry Food by Sanjay our cook, was too good. Massive shoutout to him, who turned our high-altitude campsites into a gourmet kitchen. Every single day, he served up incredibly delicious, fresh, and hot meals that were perfectly planned for the physical demands of a moderate trek. The hygiene standards really good , and having such thoughtful, comforting food waiting for us after a long day of trekking was a total game-changer. Just to show how exceptional the culinary experience was: for fun, Sanjay even prepared fresh puris for Pani Puri right there in the middle of the mountains, and we wrapped up our evenings with warm, delicious Gulab Jamuns as desserts! Treating us to these kinds of treats at high altitude was a level of hospitality we never expected. Talking about the Camping Gear. The quality of the camping equipment provided by Himalaya Shelter is drastically superior to what other mainstream trekking companies offer which I have experienced in my earlier treks. Heavy-duty, clean, double-layered tents that provided excellent insulation and kept us dry against the unpredictable mountain weather. Thick mats and high-quality, cold-rated sleeping bags with fleece inner for the feet that made sleeping in chilly high-altitude conditions genuinely comfortable. Every zipper, tent pole, and piece of technical gear felt in very good condition and maintained very well. Himalaya Shelter perfectly balances top-tier safety, impeccable local hospitality, and premium comfort. I am immensely grateful to Sonu, Sanjay, and the rest of the crew for an unforgettable adventure. I will absolutely be booking my next Himalayan trek with them.

We had an Amazing Experience with Himalaya Shelter The Surya Top Trek!! This was our first ever trek to the Himalayas with Himalaya shelter. we recently completed The Surya Top Trek which was a moderate trek and we all managed to finish the trek!!

A special thanks to our guide, Sonu Negi, who was experienced, friendly, and extremely supportive throughout the journey. Since this was our first high-altitude trek with 3 nights of wilderness camping, his planning, guidance, and focus on safety made us feel comfortable and confident at every step. Our food was cooked by an marvellous cook Sanju who cooked amazing food throughout our trek and even in our campsitesโฆ!! The campsite arrangements, and overall management were excellent. The entire team treated us like family and made the trek even more memorable.

Bhuran Ghati Trek โ Himachal Pradesh Just returned from an amazing trek to Bhuran Ghati with Himalaya Shelter โ absolutely loved the experience! Their small group format ensures personal attention to every trekker, making it a safe and comfortable experience for solo travellers and groups alike. Trek lead Bachan Rana was excellent โ clear with guidelines and always made sure everyone was safe. Freshly cooked meals on the trail, a luggage offloading option for those who need it, and rental trekking equipment make this one of the most hassle-free treks you can book. Having a female trek lead, Tanisha, is a wonderful touch that makes women and solo female travellers feel much more at ease. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a well-organised, safe, and memorable Himalayan trek! ๐๏ธ

Hey we completed B the phulara ridge trek and safely reached Dehradun today. We enjoyed the trek throughout. The trails, the forest, the ridge walk was thrilling. I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation for the trek guide Sooraj and the support staff, cook for arranging the trek and supporting us throughout . Sooraj was polite and patient always especially with my son who is 8 and was doing his first trek. He kept entertaining us with all information about different flora and fauna while walking through the forest trails. The cook served tasty meals always and we loved eating local vegetables plucked from the forest. Overall we had a wonderful experience. Thank you .

My experience with himalayanshelter was great. We were the first batch of 2026 to complete the Bali Pass trek. Since the rest of the group cancelled due to the weather, there were only two of us, but the team still provided all the facilities as promised. Our trek leaders, Sonu Bhai and Suraj Bhai, were amazing. They guided us throughout the trail and shared a lot of knowledge about the mountains, trails, and wildlife, which made the experience even better. This was my second trek with himalayanshelter, and Iโll definitely be coming back to them for my next adventure.

Over the phone call / whatsapp, the plan was very detailed. The Trekking charges were clearly spelt out and it sounded quite reasonable. From Dehradoon Hotel, the pick up was very smooth and right on time. The driver stopped at very convenient places for breakfast/lunch and other breaks. The base camp was in a beautiful location. The food available there was basic and very tasty. The rooms were very cosy and view from the rooms were very good. Our trek guide, Mukesh, met us in the basecamp and briefed about the trek plan. He was very welcoming and helpful. During the entire trek, Mukesh was with us. We had an excellent experience with him. He was very accommodative and helpful. There were few places where I was slipping where he came to help me out promptly. He ensured that we are not stepping in wrong places through out the trek. It was extremely cold and rainy the time we arrived in Osla. He sensed our struggle in acclimatisation with the harsh winter condition. Mukesh was very prompt in giving us the food to the room. In the camp site as well, during the very cold condition, Mukesh delivered snacks/tea/hot water etc to the camp so that we didnt had to come out to face the wrath of cold condition. Overall I and my son, had a very good experience with Himalaya Shelter's Har Ki Dun Trek and with Mukesh especially. I will definately go with them next time for another adventure.

Latha Ravichander Mumbai i have attempted my 1st Himalaya trekking. It was very nice scenic and also is was managed by excellent trek leader, Thoy & Suraj who have helped us in all the scenic places and helped us in the tough climbs. The cook & the Subhashji who take care of the horses and our luggage too for the whole trek were awesome. The early morning lemon tea, breakfast, lunch, evening snacks & dinner was very nice and yummy. One suggestion if their is senior citizen dont keep a tough route or new route in the trek. The Boslo to devsu tht jungle route was very risky & last climb was also tough. Himalaya Shelter hip hip hurray

Went with Himalayan Shelter to the Aancha top trek. Amazing hike, beautiful scenery and best of all, a while lot of pure white snow at the peak in the month of April! The HS team was incredible, with Nitin Bhai as the iconic guide and Micheal Bhai and Rocky Bhai being the best cooks and assistants possible. Micheal Bhai made slides on the snow on the way down, making it extremely fun to get down. Recovery from trek everyday was so instant with amazing evening snacks and chai.The team also helped make blazing campfires, making our trip as memorable possible.

We had a great time with Himalyan Shelter doing Ranthan Kharak trek. We were 10 of us, including 4 kids with youngest one aged 8โฆ This was our third private trek in the Himalayas, and the trek with Mr Bachan and his team was undoubtedly the best. He was really flexible right from planning and ensured that he took the best calls every day to maximise both the experience and convenience. Food was absolutely the best.. Team served us local cuisines, Samosas, Rasagullas etcโฆ We were pleasantly surprised by the yummy food we were served during the trekโฆ Mr Bachan had great foresight about the weather and physical conditions of the entire group and ensured that he customised the plan daily for us. He would also distribute the team responsibilities in such a way that everyone can walk at their own pace without making them feel any less accomplished or supported. Would recommend Himalayan Shelter and plan to use their service again!

I had a wonderful experience during my trek to Kedarkantha last week through Himalaya Shelter. We had unseasonal snow and rainfall, however the trek was completed successfully along with Tirpan Rana who accompanied me from Himalaya Shelter. All the arrangements throughout my journey were excellent. I look forward to my next trek with Himalaya Shelter.

I had an incredible solo experience on the Kedarkantha Trek with Himalayan Shelterโtruly a once-in-a-lifetime journey. It was just me and the guide/team, and everything was well organized and thoughtfully handled from start to finish. A special thank you to my guide, Thoiba, who was attentive, kind, and very accommodating throughout the trek. He made me feel safe and supported every step of the way. The crew did an amazing jobโthe food was delicious, and reaching the summit was absolutely breathtaking. An experience Iโll never forget. Iโm so grateful and would highly recommend Himalayan Shelter to anyone looking for a memorable adventure.

I've been trekking since 2020 and been on multiple treks like triund., nag tibba., chandrashila., kheerganga., kareri lake., VOF., hemkund sahib and many more but it's my first trek with himalaya shelter and I must say that it's been the most amazing experience till now. The services they gave and the hospitality and concern they showed us is really heartwarming. Our trek leaders Mukesh Bhai and Suraj bhai are the most caring and providing trek leaders I ever met on any of my treks as those are the guys u can look upto for anything. U can just get a booking with himalaya shelter and leave the rest assured to them and they will surely deliver more than u think and expect. It's been an excellent journey and I'm going to continue it with you guys for a good long period. เคฆเฅเคฌเคพเคฐเคพ เคฎเคฟเคฒเฅเคเคเฅ เคเคฟเคธเฅ เคฎเฅเคกเคผ เคชเฅ., เคเฅ เคฌเคพเคเฅ เคนเฅ เคตเฅ เคฌเคพเคค เคนเฅเคเฅ เคเคญเฅ.... ๐๐

I recently completed the Har Ki Dun Trek with Himalaya Shelter, and honestly. From the very beginning, their team was super supportive, well-organized, and genuinely caring. Our trek leader Sonu was knowledgeable and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey. Meals and accomodations were excellent. Big high-five to Himalaya Shelter Guest House in Sankri. I would highly recommend Himalaya Shelter to anyone planning Har Ki Dun or any other Himalayan treks. Whether youโre a beginner or an experienced trekker, they make the whole experience memorable, safe, and truly enjoyable. Planning my next trek to Buran Ghati again with Himalaya Shelter. Kudos

I went on the Nagtibba trek with my 7 year old son. This was my 5th trek with Himalaya Shelter but first with my son. It was his first ever trek and he absolutely loved the experience. The arrangements were perfect with attention to small details like arranging a blanket and mattress for my son who would not have snugged into a sleeping bag. They had also arranged head torches for everyone. The food is always a highlight with simple yet delicious meals especially after a day long trek. The guides are knowledgeable and make sure itโs an experience to cherish.

himalaya shelter review I went on the Har Ki Dun trek with Himalaya shelter in mid March. Throughout the planning of the trip they answered every question we had and were able to adjust the trek itinerary to fit our plans. My only criticism is that the weather forecast they sent us was not quite for the right place (I donโt think any exist for the actual right location of this!) so just be aware of this- if you follow their packing guidance you would have all the right stuff anyway! and anything you are missing you were able to hire on arrival in Sankri easily. Throughout the trek our guide Thoiba was excellent and always ensured our safety and comfort throughout as well as chatting to us about the local history and geography. During the trek we had a lot of unexpected snowfall and Thoiba and the rest of the team adjusted our itinerary when needed and always made sure we were as warm as possible delivering lots of warm food and chai to our tent (the food provided throughout the trek by Sanju and Thoiba was excellent and plentiful- they were also able to cater to dietary requirements if needed). All the logistics were handled seamlessly throughout with mules organised to carry all the stuff and all the tents set up normally before we had even arrived at the campsite! Overall I absolutely loved the trek- I highly recommend the Har Ki Dun trek for anyone wanting a few days of adventure with relatively easy hiking combined with some time in some remote Himalayan villages!

I did my first trek with Himalaya Shelter. This company was recommended to me by a friend and they do stand up to it. During our Nag Tibba trek from pickup to drop off at Dehradun they arranged it well ahead of time and in an organized manner. The staff served delicious meals and our Trek Leaders Tanisha and Risabh were professional courteous and sometimes downright funny. I would recommend the Himalaya Shelter to anyone going hiking in Uttarakhand.

We, 5 friends all between 72 to 75 years young did Brahmatal Trek with Himalaya Shelter on 14 to 22 March 2026. Bachan Rana helped a lot to customise our program details. I must mention here that our Trek Leader Nitin was very caring and humble. Special thanks to our cook, Vijay for very tasty and variety preparations. Our local guide, chandramohan from Govid Ghati was very knowledgeable. Our driver, Rabi, was careful. Although the wheather suddenly changed to snowfall and rains, the support team was ready for all eventuality. All in all I can say that Himalaya Shelter and the trek support team made our trek a comfortable, memorable experience.

I had an amazing experience. The village (Pantwari) was so cute, Nitin was so helpful and respectful the entire time. My only downside at Nag Tibba was that the dogs didnโt stop barking and the tent I slept in was on a downslope which means I felt like I was slipping all night. Regardless, the views were beautiful. I felt so safe and comfortable. Every driver and person was so warm. The food was delicious too, I do recommend bringing a snack for the summit, hiking poles and warm layers. Also ANTI NAUSEA meds for the windy roads. MUST.

I would like to share my sincere appreciation for Himalayan Shelter for organizing our trek to Kedarkantha. From the very beginning, all arrangements were exceptionally well planned and professionally managed. The coordination, communication, and on-ground execution reflected a high level of experience and commitment. The support staff were courteous, helpful, and always ready to assist, ensuring that every participant felt comfortable and confident throughout the journey. The trek was structured in a disciplined and well-paced manner, which enabled us to achieve the summit safely and successfully. Their focus on planning, safety, and teamwork truly enhanced the overall experience and made the achievement even more meaningful. I had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend Himalayan Shelter to friends and colleagues who are looking for a reliable and professional trekking organization. Thank you for making this journey memorable and rewarding. Pankaj Shukla

The trek was fantastic. The guide was really helpful and patient. He took everyone to the summit with great pace. The food and tents were set up before we reached our destination allowing us to rest properly. The food was also made at site which was great as to have hot food at such a place was luxury. The team from Himalayan shelter guided us and made our journey better. If I were to go on another trek I would definitely choose Himalayan Shelter again.

My experience trekking to Chandrashila with Himalaya Shelter was excellent, especially as a beginner-friendly introduction to the mountains. The team was incredibly experienced and well-prepared, providing two guides and a driver who were all exceptionally kind and professional; a special mention must go to Mukesh, whose expertise made the journey feel seamless. While the guides were fantastic and the route was very welcoming, the itinerary did have a fair amount of downtime each day, and I personally feel the schedule could have been a bit more compact. Overall, it was a great trip led by a staff that truly knows their craft.

The last two days were hectic in enjoying the treks in and around Rishikesh and Pantwari in Uttarakhand. As a beginner and at 60 years of age, it was tough for me to do these treks but I enjoyed it as a challenge and tested my lungs and heart functioning to the max limit. I travelled this trip solo but met a few very young guys from Delhi/Ghaziabad who were part of the trekking group. These guys were awesome and full of energy. I chose Himalayan Shelter as my tour guide and Bachan Rana was very helpful in arranging everything and he is very experienced in this business and as an accomplished trekker . I believe trekking/hiking gives you soul satisfaction and one of the best ways to make new friends. Overall the Rishikesh trip added a new perspective on how to lead a single life and deal with physical challenges.

Recently I had an amazing experience on the Kedarkantha Winter Trek with Himalayan Shelter, and a big part of that was thanks to Tanisha Chauhan our trek lead. From the very beginning, she was extremely helpful, professional, and supportive. She guided us clearly with all the trek details, preparations, and logistics, which made the entire journey smooth and stress-free. During the trek, her coordination and constant encouragement really stood out, especially in the challenging winter conditions. Tanishaโs positive attitude, dedication, and care for every trekker made this experience truly memorable. Iโm very grateful to her and highly recommend Himalayan Shelterโand especially Tanishaโfor anyone planning a Himalayan trek.

Yes, ~12,000 ft / ~3,600 m! We did it with the exceptional team at Himalaya Shelter. We are a family of four with two boys (11 and 12 years old), and this was our first Himalayan trek at Dayara Bugyal. We were picked up from Dehradun Airport and driven to Uttarkashi, where we stayed for a night. The next day, we drove to Raithal and started our trek to the Gui campsite, spending the night in alpine tents at freezing temperatures of -1ยฐC. On the second day, we walked about 8 hours in total and scaled the highest point of Dayara Bugyal (~12,000 ft). That evening, our cook, Subhash ji, presented us with a surprise cake during dinner to celebrate the moment. The night was even colder at -4ยฐC, and the peaks saw some snowfall. On the third day, we descended to Raithal and drove back to Uttarkashi for the night. On the final day, Bim (Sasi) and the Himalaya Shelter team dropped us off in Rishikesh to continue our adventures in Dev Bhoomi, Uttarakhand. We would like to thank the entire Himalaya Shelter team: Bachan ji and Tushar for booking and operational assistance; Tanisha, our trek leader, for guiding us and being patient and encouraging with our children; Sonu for providing overall guidance, care, and sharing his experience throughout the journey; and Subhash ji for the amazing, thoughtful, and yummy food, as well as accommodating our requests. Finally, not to forget Bim (Sasi)โa safe pair of hands behind the wheel who made the whole trip safe and comfortable. Thank you! We hope to continue this relationship with another adventureโmaybe Har Ki Dun?!

We completed the Ancha Top trek with Himalayan Shelter, and overall it was a great experience. The arrangements were well managed and the service was amazing. A special mention for the food โ it was truly awesome, which made the trek even more enjoyable in such cold conditions. Huge thanks to Vijay (MAMA) for the delicious food and warm hospitality ๐ โ it really felt like home on the mountains. However, we would like to share one concern. We were a group of 8 people, and unfortunately, we felt that the guide Mukesh was mostly involved with one foreigner guest, due to which our group was often left on its own. This affected our overall experience and group coordination. We hope Himalayan Shelter will look into this and ensure equal attention and support to all trekkers in a group. Overall, a memorable trek with great food and service, with scope for improvement in guiding support.

We had a fantastic trek with Himalayan Shelter in dec 2025. We were a group of 14 people. Right from the time we reached Dehradun and until our drop back to Rishikesh, the entire journey was very well arranged. Timely pick up, comfortable road trip in a TT to Raithal, trek preparations, the lovely Pahadi food, comfortable stay at Raithal was just awesome. Through the trek, Mr Bachan Rana and Mr. Abhimanyu were very enthusiastic and encouraging. Rocky was a hero for us- always with a smile and serving us yumm food. The kids loved him as he gave them super maggi ๐. Anything we asked Rocky said - โho Jayegaโ which put all our questions to rest. Our first Himalayan trek and it was made memorable with Himalayan Shelters. They made it comfortable as home in the Himalayas ๐. Looking forward to more adventures with them.

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 Daโs 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.

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.

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 โ 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 โ especially with a guide like Tirupan Rana, who made the trek even more special.
