Great Himalaya Trails GHT Overview
The Great Himalaya Trail in India is one part of a long trekking route. It connects to the main line of the Himalayas. It crosses high mountain passes and quiet, distant valleys.
The route is thousands of kilometers long. These lines go through Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.
The goal of the GHT is simple. It wants to connect many local paths into one continuous route across the mountains.
In India, it goes through many different places. You see green forests, mountain meadows, and tough peaks. It connects villages that have lived peacefully with these mountains for hundreds of years. It’s not just a trail. It’s a journey through nature, culture, and some of the wildest land on the planet.
The Indian GHT Region
The Indian part of the GHT Trek is a grand walk along the country’s north edge. It links some of the most remote, highest, and most spiritual mountain lands anywhere.
The trails go through six main Himalayan areas:
- Ladakh and Kashmir: There's a switch of land diversity from green landscapes of Kashmir to the dry cold desert of Ladakh. It feels like a transition in ourselves with nature.
- Himachal Pradesh (Spiti and Kinnaur) has both dry mountains and green mountain views. The Sutlej river shaped its lively culture.
- Uttarakhand (Garhwal and Kumaon) is the "Devbhoomi" Here, people walk there with hope and prayer where Ganga Emerges.
- Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh make up the green, eastern edge. They have thick cloud forests. You see unique wildlife. And you get views of Kangchenjunga.

Great Himalaya Trails GHT Itinerary
History of GHT India
The Great Himalaya Trails (GHT), when people hear about it and they think it is modern but in ancient times people used to travel the trails of Himalayas. The Indian Himalaya was never a barrier.. For thousands of years, these high valleys and passes were important routes. They were used for trade, spiritual travel, and sharing cultures. This history is the root of the GHT today.
The Old Silk Road
Today on the passes we trek for adventure. In ancient times these high passes of the Himalayas were famous for the Silk Road. People from China, Tibet and Central Asia come to India for silk trade from the Silk Road.
Ladakh was a busy center. Passes like the Karakoram, Zoji La, and Khardung La were major market spots. Merchants carried spices, good cloth, and valuable stones.
The Niti La and Mana pass in Uttarakhand were the main old roads. They linked the Garhwal area to the Tibetan plateau. This trade went on for centuries and formed the local Bhotia culture.
To the East, the ancient Nathu La pass in Sikkim was a key connection. It was a thriving section of the Himalayan Silk Route that joined Kalimpong, India, and Lhasa, Tibet.
The Pilgrimage Path
The Indian Himalaya is also known as Devbhoomi, the Land of the Gods. It has religious belief and for that Hindu people do yatra to chase god also can say it is a pilgrimage route . These routes are a big part of the GHT. People made these paths for faith, not for money.
Several parts of the GHT in Uttarakhand are part of the Char Dham religious sites. The route of Char Dham takes to Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri. When you trek here, it means you are walking the saints, monks once walked in search of enlightenment, peace or meditation .
Passes like Lipulekh were, and still are, key paths for pilgrims. They use them to make the hard trip to Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar.
The GHT Now
The Great Himalaya Trails as we see them now honor this long past. The idea is to link these old trade and prayer routes together. Many of these routes closed after the 1962 war between China and India.
The modern plan for the GHT wants to do two things:
- Keep the culture going: This means bringing respectful visitors to small, high-up villages. The culture there was shaped by these old roads.
- Allow for discovery: It lets today's adventurers walk where the first explorers and traders did. This shows the vast difference in India's landscape. You see everything from the dry Trans Himalaya to the green valleys of the East.
You are walking a route that has many years of history. It's a route where, historically, individuals swapped between mountain villages, and pilgrims and monks walked for religious purposes.
The Indian GHT is a trip through places where time is counted in long periods. Each high pass has a tale of survival and sharing.
You need a real fitness plan for the Great Himalaya Trails (GHT). The trek is long, high up, and difficult. You will walk for many hours every day.
Great Himalaya Trails (GHT) Trek Map
GHT Trek (Great Himalaya Trails MAP
Difficulty Level of Great Himalaya Trails Trek (GHT)
Difficulty Level: Very High
This is not a regular trek. The full 71-day route you have planned is extremely hard. It ties together the toughest, most remote mountain journeys in the Indian Himalayas.
You need more than just good fitness for this. You also need solid experience on long trips high up in the mountains.
Why This Trek Is So Hard
The Passes Are Technical. You will cross big high passes like Pin Parvati, Buran Ghati, and Rupin Pass. These spots often have very steep snow and ice. You must use an ice axe and crampons or microspikes to stay safe. They demand all your focus.
Extreme Altitude is Constant. You are aiming for Kanamo Peak near 4,500 m. You also cross passes close to 5,500 m, like Dhumdhar Kandi. The low oxygen at these heights drains your body fast.
Rivers Pose a High Risk. During the monsoon part, especially after the Pin Parvati Pass, you will face swollen, fast-flowing rivers. Crossing these rivers is dangerous.
It Is Very Remote. The final parts, including the Dhumdhar Kandi Pass and the Miyar Valley, are far from roads or towns. If you have an emergency or a sudden snowstorm, getting help or a rescue will take many days.
Being at high altitude for 71 days will wear your body down a lot. You must manage your rest, your food, and your energy perfectly just to finish the whole trip.
What This Means For Your Trip
You must trek with guides who are highly experienced in this exact area. You also need a large team ready to handle complex support and emergency extraction. This journey is only for seasoned adventurers. You should already know how your body handles extreme altitude and long-term physical stress.
Best Time to do Great Himalaya Trails Trek (GHT)
These high-altitude treks are suitable during the months of June to September. The reason is that most of the trek is in the dry, rain-shadow zones of the Himalayas because most of the zones are open during the summer months.
Part 1: Pre Summer High-Altitude Trekking (Days 1–22)
Your journey starts in June. This is the right time to hit the big passes. The winter snow is starting to melt but the big monsoon rain has not yet hit Uttarakhand. This means the pass crossings will be tough, but doable.
Rupin Pass (Days 1–8)
You start with the Rupin Pass in the late spring or early summer. This timing is great because the weather is mostly stable. By early June, the deep winter snow has settled down on the high slopes. You should expect to deal with big snow patches on the pass itself, which is at about 4,650 m.That makes the hike exciting. The hike requires that you bring along an ice axe along with microspikes or crampons as safety equipment. The trails with lesser altitude will be enjoyable with clear skies.
Pin Bhaba Pass (Days 11–16)
After a short break, you move to Himachal Pradesh for the Pin Bhaba Pass. Crossing this pass in early summer is one of the best choices. The route changes fast. First, you get the lush green slopes of the Bhaba Valley. Then you cross the pass at around 4,915 m and drop into the dry, stark Pin Valley. Pin Valley is in the rain-shadow, so the weather stays stable there. Snow on the pass is normal, so you need your technical gear to cross safely.
Kanamo Peak (Days 19–22)
The third section takes you into the Spiti Valley to climb Kanamo Peak. This is scheduled for the peak rain-shadow season, which is perfect. The entire Spiti Valley is protected from the summer monsoon. The conditions will be dry, cool, and consistent. This is perfect for a climb as altitude-dominated as Kanamo, at about 5,974 m. You will experience optimal conditions with clear vision and a successful undertaking.
Part 2: Trans-Himalayan (Days 23–42)
This middle part of your trip happens from mid-July to August. This is the main monsoon season, but you are smart about the route. You stay in the dry Trans-Himalayan valleys when the southern side is wet. This gives you green lower valleys and clear conditions up high.
Pin Parvati Pass (Days 23–33)
Crossing the Pin Parvati Pass is best during this mid-season window. The pass is tough, around 5,319 m, but mid-summer snow is usually more stable. You start in the high, dry Spiti Valley, which helps you get used to the altitude. But the real challenge is dropping into the Parvati Valley. You must be ready for the heavy monsoon here. Expect constant rain, slippery trails, and swollen rivers after Mantalai. Your gear must be completely waterproof. Your guides need to be experienced in safely crossing these flooded rivers.
Miyar Valley Trek (Days 36–42)
The Miyar Valley Trek is ideally timed. Just like Spiti, Miyar is high up and gets much less monsoon rain. This is the best time to see the valley. The meadows are green and you get clear, cool weather up high. You will see the famous "Valley of Flowers" at its peak. But the long drive to the valley can be tricky. Expect the roads, especially near Manali or Keylong, to have landslides or blockages from the rain. This could cause delays.
Part 3: Post-Monsoon High Passes and Grand Finale (Days 43–71)
The last part of your journey is in September. This is when the air is crisp and the views are clear. The post-monsoon window is short but gives the most spectacular mountain views. These are the perfect conditions for the hardest passes on your list.
Buran Ghati Trek (Days 43–50)
Trekking Buran Ghati in September is a great decision. The monsoon is gone, and the trails are dry. Hiking will be fast and comfortable. The air is clear and sharp, giving you amazing views of the Dhauladhar and Kinner Kailash ranges. The famous pass descent, at about 4,572 m, might have less snow than in June. But it is still steep and needs full focus and good control. This month gives you the best mix of stable trails and stunning views.
Dhumdhar Kandi & Bali Pass (Days 51–71)
Combining Bali Pass and the very hard Dhumdhar Kandi Pass in late September uses the clearest weather time in Uttarakhand. This is excellent for seeing the beautiful Phulara Ridge and the lower Ruinsara Valley. But Dhumdhar Kandi is very high, at about 5,490 m. The late September timing is risky for this pass. While you expect clear days, you could easily get hit by an early winter storm. Heavy snow could quickly block the pass. Dhumdhar Kandi is very remote and high up. This final section requires expert guides, plenty of extra days, and a solid plan for emergency exit. Finishing these passes at this time is the highest point of your long Himalayan trek.
After every trek or as you come in the network area must check the weather, to make the next move.
How to Get fit for GHT Trek
You should train in three key ways. You need to prepare for it from 4 to 6 months before you go on a trek. You have to be consistent for it.
1. Build Endurance (Cardio)
Build Endurance is necessary, it makes your lungs strong and heart strong that is important for high altitude. For that you need to walk and jog.
Walk Long Distances: Start by walking a few kilometers. Increase this. On weekends, go for a nearby hike with weight.
Incline Training: On trek there's steep hikes for which you need to do incline training. In which you can walk upstairs in multiple sets.
Aerobic Exercise: For building stamina, you need to do cardio like jog or run 3 or 4 times in a week. You need to run at least 5 kilometers in 30 minutes.
2. Get Stronger
You will carry a pack for long periods. You need strong legs, core, and back. This helps you avoid injuries on the tough trails.
- Leg Strengthening: To build leg strength you need to do exercises like squats, lunges, and step ups. Use weights if you have them. You can also wear a weighted pack while you do these.
- Core Strengthening: To balance yourself on uneven trails with a heavy backpack for that a strong core is important. Do plank for the abdomen and bridge for lower back.
- Practice with Your Pack: Walk or hike while carrying a backpack. Start light, around 5 kg. Slowly work up to carrying 8 to 12 kg. This gets your body used to the weight.
3. Be Flexible and Rest
When you trek for many hours each day due to this your muscles become tired and tight. If your body remains flexible, you can trek and climb easily, and your chances of getting injured will become less.
- Stretch Daily: Do stretching exercises every after heavy exercises .
- Yoga: For a relaxing body it needs to do yoga 1 to 2 times in a week to relax your body.
- Rest: To recover micro injuries, one full day rest is important. After 6 days of exercise make sure to have complete body rest.
Also, maintain a proper diet, it is as important as your exercise.

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.

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.

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.

The trek is เคฌเฅเคนเคฆ scenic with beautiful meadows and stunning sunrise & sunset views. A big thanks to Bachanji, Tanisha & on-field Team for their constant support and guidanceโthey made the journey smooth and enjoyable.

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'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

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!

During our Nag Tibba trek from pickup to drop off at Dehradun they arranged it well ahead of time and in an organized manner.

I would recommend the Himalaya Shelter to anyone going hiking in Uttarakhand.

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.

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.

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?!

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.

The homestay arrangements were excellent comfortable, welcoming, and well managed.

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.
