Saru Tal Trek Overview
Saru Tal Trek is a high altitude alpine lake situated at a height of 13,615 feet (4,150 meters) in the Western Garhwal Himalayas in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand. It is situated at the base of a towering mountain ridge that runs in the west to east direction in Govind Wildlife Sanctuary, intersected by a southward ridge line, creating a cirque that collects rainwater and snowmelt, forming this beautiful lake. It is a 48 km 7 day moderate difficulty trek which starts from Sankri.
The lake setting is similar to that of Bhrigu Lake, as the tree line ends well before the lake and alpine flowers dot the landscape around the lake, with its crystal blue water. The lake stays frozen from December to April start, after which the snow recedes and flowers begin to bloom by the middle of May.
It is a great trek that combines unique landscape and incorporates the beautiful Phulara ridge trek all within 7 Days. Phulara Ridge has recently become popular in the trekking community and trekkers love the unique ridge walking experience it provides, a rare find in the Indian Himalayas. Saru Tal trek increases the trek duration by just one day and you are able to explore the alpine lake for a more vivid trekking experience and offers panoramic views of the Gangotri peaks and other prominent mountains like Swargarohini, Kalanag, and Bandarpoonch.

Saru Tal Trek Itinerary
It is easiest to get to Sankri from Dehradun or Mussourie. The journey of 8-10 hours by road will not feel tiresome, though. With the river Tons singing you a lullaby for most of the part, pass the bustle of touristy hill stations. Allow quaint little towns of the Uttarkashi district like Purola to calm you down. Ultimately, give in to the mountains and one of its quiet, network-less settlements โ Sankri. Sankri is a homely and welcoming village, the windows of which open to the Swargarohini ranges. The sunrise and sunset here is a sight to behold.
The trek commences with a slight ascend through a dense forest of towering pine trees. It is tempting to play hide-and-seek among them, but leaves crunching below your feet give you away! The forest makes way for an enchanting clearing where you will encounter the only dhaba on this trek. If you are lucky, you will find a villager welcoming you with his melodious flute.
On reaching Sikolta, set your bags down and take an excursion to Juda ka Talab, a well-known lake among the trekking community.
The day begins with an ascent through a forest, again. This time, it leads to a wooden bridge. Cross this bridge with a cascading brook flowing underneath it, conquer a short patch of steep ascent and you will be rewarded with the picturesque opening of Karsu thatch. You will also find wooden house โ like abandoned but intriguing structures.
The walk through islands of rhododendrons opens to a meadow of plain green grass of Bhoj Gadi. Set against a backdrop of purple-grey hued and snow-capped mountains, this is one of the most beautiful campsites on any Himalayan trail you will witness. Roam around the area, pose with a fascinating arrangement of stones and a log, or just sit and let serenity and meditativeness wash over you.
This day is the highlight of the trek. About an hour from Bhoj Gadi, we descend to the iconic ridge โ the Phulara Ridge. A ridge is a chain of mountains that form a continuous crest for some distance. Its narrow edges drop into valleys on either side. This grants you an unobstructed view of some of the most majestic Garhwal Himalayan mountain ranges โ including Swargarohini and Bandarpoonch, in 3 directions. You would be awestruck, to say the least.
Once the ridge ends, you descend into the vast, undulating Pushtara bugyal i.e. Pushtara meadows. Post the exhilaration of the ridge walk, you feel a sense of liberation as you marvel at the expanse around you.
To add to the range of emotions, is the charm of the countless variety of flowers, including the brahmakamal and fankamal, that bloom during summer. The ridge has been named โPhularaโ for good reason. Also feel the excitement at spotting the rare monal pheasant, the state bird of Uttarakhand. There is a greater probability of spotting them on todayโs trail.
We start the day early and start ascending towards the ridge line via the last stretch of the forest that surrounds the meadows on the eastward side. The ridge trail lies to our south. After 1.5 KM the forest ends and the alpine meadows surround the trail all the way to the Saru Tal lake.
It takes around 4 hours to cover the 8 KM trek to the Saru Tal. With an altitude gain of 550 meters, the trail is rather gradual. After spending and hour at the lake we descend back to Pushtara.
A full day of descent to civilization. We continuously descend along the trail today, as you make your way towards Taluka. After crossing the grasslands we enter the dense untouched forests and continue across them for rest of the trail. As you descend towards Taluka, you will find increasing number of trees. You will be greeted by little yellow flowers, which to some extent help you ease the sadness of reaching the end, and make you realize the worth of the treasure you have gathered in the last few days. Descending through dense forest, you will observe bands of langoors on trees. We start to come across scattered settlements, eventually reaching the quaint village where you will be greeted by curious and warm villagers and their children asking for candies. You will appreciate the architecture and smile at the simple domesticity of village life in the remote Himalayas. A vehicle will take you to Sankri from Taluka. We take a vehicle back to Sankri for the hour long drive.
We start the journey back to Dehradun and arrive by late afternoon or early evening. Trekkers can choose to journey further to Rishikesh or Tapovan to conclude the journey in a more astounding way.

History Of Saru Tal
The locals consider this lake to be sacred and often refer it as the fifth dham because its believed to be the only place from where you can see all the four major Himalayan Shrines namely Badrinath, Kedarnath, Yamunotri and Gangotri in the four directions. They visit this site annually to take a dip in this believed sacred lake.
The origin of this lake is still mysterious as it must have some significance due to its close proximity to Kedarkantha and the water of it is believed to seep into the Kedarganga, a tributary of the Yamuna.
As it is not so much mythologically proclaimed it is not much explored and hence offers a surreal and pristine experience

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!! It was truly an unforgettable experience.

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.

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 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 have been trekking in Himalayas for more than 30 yrs. with different agencies. This was our 1st experience with Himalaya Shelters and it was very good.

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.

The entire team was very professional, friendly, and supportive from start to finish. Our trek leaders and guides were experienced and always motivated us during the journey. The food, campsite arrangements, and overall management were excellent. The highlight of the trek was definitely the stunning view from Aancha Top.

I highly recommend Himalayan Shelter to anyone who wants a safe, well-organized, and memorable trekking experience.

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. Both the journey and the destination were remarkably scenic and enriching.

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.

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.
