UT Kangri Expedition is one of the most adventurous and moderate to difficult level expeditions in the Ladakh region of India. It is close to Leh with an altitude of approximately 6,070 meters, and provides the trekkers a real experience of mountaineering. This is typically begun at Leh where trekkers will take a couple of days to acclimatize themselves to the elevated altitude. Then, the trail passes by cold deserts, rocky roads, and expansive mountainous conditions.
The scenery is literally enchanted with snow-capped mountains, never-ending brown mountains, and clear blue skies that are right there. Although it is termed as an expedition, it is deemed appropriate for experienced trekkers with the basic knowledge of mountaineering.
The summit is not the only special thing about UT Kangri, but the adventure that takes place on the way. Trekkers camp in skies full of stars, hike on glaciers and gradually acquire some fundamental climbing techniques such as crampon and rope use.
The last summit day normally begins very early in the morning when the world is silent with the mountains being shone by the moonlight. When you get to the summit, it is very emotional as you are able to see an unending Himalayan range that extends in all directions. UT Kangri is not merely a climb, it is an experience that will be in your heart long enough.

We had an awesome experience with the entire Himalayan Shelter team! Our guides were Bachan rana, and Ramesh sajwan and they both an amazing job taking care of us. They knew the trails very well, they took care of our needs at camp like food and shelter and ensured our safety during the entirety of the journey. If you get the chance, please take this adventure with the Himalayan Shelter team!

Special thanks to Nitin, Sonu and Arjun, to make sure, everyone took part in the trek, and for their genuine help to all the trekkers. The food was fabulous as well.

Himalaya Shelter is an excellent trekking company. The staff was extremely cooperative, and the rooms were clean and hygienic. The food was outstanding — easily 5 stars. Our trek leader, Saurabh, was highly experienced and continuously guided, motivated, and supported us throughout the trek. The Kedarkantha trek itself was an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience that gave us a bag full of memories and valuable life lessons. If you’re looking for a reliable and well-organized trekking company, Himalaya Shelter is a great choice.

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. Tanisha’s positive attitude, dedication, and care for every trekker made this experience truly memorable. I’m very grateful to her and highly recommend Himalayan Shelter—and especially Tanisha—for 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 -1°C. 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 -4°C, 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)—a 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 adventure—maybe 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 — 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 🙏 — 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 😊. Anything we asked Rocky said - “ho Jayega” 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 😊. Looking forward to more adventures with them.

I have been travelling with Himalayan Shelter for two years now, and it has been an absolutely wonderful experience. The guides are extremely knowledgeable, talented, and responsible. They were also very generous and supportive throughout the trek, always ready to help and motivate everyone. Thanks to their excellent planning, guidance, and constant encouragement, the trek never felt exhausting at all. Safety, comfort, and group morale were clearly their top priorities. I felt well taken care of at every step.

This trek turned out to be completely unexpected in the best possible way. Although everything was unplanned, the entire journey unfolded beautifully and was full of pleasant surprises. Bachan Da’s storytelling and the way he shared his experiences throughout the trek made the journey truly special, it was engaging, warm, and memorable. The homestay arrangements were excellent comfortable, welcoming, and well managed. The service provided throughout the trek was outstanding, and the care and support from both Bachan Da and Rocky Da were genuinely exceptional. Their company made the trek even more enjoyable and reassuring. The summit was breathtakingly beautiful and absolutely worth the effort. Both the journey and the destination were remarkably scenic and enriching. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and I would highly recommend trekking with them to anyone looking for a meaningful and well guided adventure.

The entire team was committed and worked from 4 to 10 to ensure the trek was incident free and pleasurable. Special mention to their commitment to the environment.

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 — extremely knowledgeable, calm, supportive, and always motivating throughout the trek. He ensured everyone felt safe, comfortable, and confident, especially during challenging sections. His local insights and positive attitude truly enhanced the overall experience. The arrangements, food, and campsite management were well taken care of, making the trek enjoyable even in tough weather conditions. The only minor drawback was the unavailability of hot water for bathing, which was manageable considering the terrain and weather. Overall, a fantastic experience and highly recommended — especially with a guide like Tirupan Rana, who made the trek even more special.

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

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

An unforgettable Kedarkantha experience with Himalaya Shelter! I recently completed the Kedarkantha trek with Himalaya Shelter, and the entire journey was absolutely amazing. The team was extremely professional, well-organized, and truly caring. From the very first briefing to the summit push, everything was handled smoothly. The trek leaders were knowledgeable, always checking on every trekker’s comfort and safety. The support staff cooked fresh, delicious meals even in freezing temperatures, and the campsites were clean, warm, and beautifully located. The quality of tents, sleeping bags, and gears provided was also top-notch. What I loved most was their attention to detail—they maintained a sustainable, eco-friendly approach throughout the trek and made sure everyone felt included and motivated. Thanks to Himalaya Shelter, the Kedarkantha summit felt special, safe, and memorable. Highly recommended for anyone planning their first or next Himalayan trek! 🏔️✨

I did the Nag Tibba trek with guide Mukesh early December and had a great experience. Coordinating in advance via WhatsApp with the company was super easy. Everything went smoothly, on time, and as described, without any issues. The hike to see the sunrise was lovely. And the absolute highlight was my guide Mukesh — he is SO kind, so knowledgeable, speaks excellent English, and you can tell he just loves the mountains. He treats everyone (from locals to guests) with the most generosity. He picks up trash from others to keep the mountain preserved. He made my experience excellent!

I went on my first-ever solo trip and choosing Himalaya Shelter for my Har Ki Dun trek turned out to be one of the most transformative experiences of my life. ✨ From day one the team has made sure I was safe and comfortable. Starting my journey from Sankri to the end everything was perfect and I am writing this review being overwhelmed in the best possible way. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I miss each and every food from the trip. Our cook has made some amazing meals for us each day, my trek leader was very knowledgeable and calm and supportive throughout the trek and the best part of the trip was from day one, the team made me feel like a part of a family. The hospitality was absolutely really wonderful and the entire journey was filled with laughter, stories, and self- discovery. Walking through the peaceful valleys and connecting with people from different walks of life reminded me how beautiful life can be when you step out of your comfort zone. Himalaya Shelter didn’t just organise a trek, they gave me memories for a lifetime. ♥️

My wife and I completed the Kedarkantha Trek with Himalaya Shelter in the second week of November 2025, and the overall experience was truly wonderful and satisfying. Even though there were no other participants in our fixed-departure batch, the company neither cancelled our trek nor asked for any additional charges, which we deeply appreciated. Our trek leader, Ms. Tanisha Chauhan, and support staff/cook, Mr. Tirpan, were both extremely helpful. Tanisha accompanied us throughout the trek and patiently guided us across difficult sections, offering support whenever needed. Despite her limited experience, she tried to handle the trek responsibly. Mr. Tirpan is an excellent cook, and we thoroughly enjoyed every meal he prepared—whether it was dal, pakode, pasta, soups, or other dishes. He consistently served hot, delicious food on time, which made the trek even more enjoyable. Overall, the service provided by Himalaya Shelter was exceptional. I would like to thank Mr. Tushar (co-ordinator), Mr. Tirpan, Ms. Tanisha, and the entire Himalaya Shelter team for making our trek a memorable one.

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

I have been trekking with Himalaya Shelter for over 10 years with multiple groups. The current trek to Phulara Ridge and Pushtara meadows (the trek was to Fachu Kandi Pass but we teaked the itinerary due to heavy snow cover), was 5th trek in a row. Him Shelter has an excellent staff and service. They have provided very flexible, customised treks with very good support and equipment. They are professional and courteous and as per me the best, most reliable trekking company in India. They have been and will remain my go to people for anyt trekking in the future.

Himalaya Shelter arranged our Fachu Kandi Pass trek, which was fantastically managed by their team. Mukesh and Tanisha, our guides, along with the entire support crew, were extremely helpful, professional, and caring — ensuring every part of the trek was safe, enjoyable, and truly memorable. Their coordination and attention to detail made the whole experience seamless. The stay at Himalaya Shelter in Sankri was equally impressive. The accommodation is clean, comfortable, and beautifully built considering the challenging mountain terrain. Facilities are well maintained, and the place has a warm, homely vibe — just what you need before and after a long trek. A special mention to Bachchan Rana, who owns the place, and Amit, who manages it with great dedication. Both are incredibly helpful and go out of their way to make guests feel welcome. Overall, an excellent experience — both the trek and the stay. Highly recommended for anyone planning a trek or visit to Sankri!

A group of us had a private tour to Kinjapuri. We were driven to the temple. (Thank you Mahesh for your safe driving). We watched the sunrise then were given breakfast. We then started our hike to Neer waterfall. This was a steep climb down however we were well supported by our guides Tanisha, Bachan Rana and Nitin.thank you for looking after us. Definitely worth using this company.

We were a group of 12 people on the Fachu Kandi Pass Trek. When it comes to trekking, Himalaya Shelters are the best in the business. Safety and comfort of everyone is their priority, resulting in the best trekking experience. Best in class equipments (tents etc), knowledgeable and experienced guides, cook, and helpful support staff who ensure each minor detail is taken care and updated. Stay away from big commercial establishments and embrace Himalayas with Himalaya shelter.

We had a great trek up Nag Tibba with Mukesh, he was a great guide and we loved the campsite where we played cricket and had delicious food and lots of chai. Deepak was also a very safe on the windy roads to Pantwari. Trek was steep at points, so tiring in the heat but you saw amazing stars ahead of sunrise. Would highly recommend Himalaya Shelter!

I did the Buran Ghati private trek in September 2025 as a solo traveller with Himalaya Shelter. It was an unforgettable trek with stunning, highly varied landscapes every single day, jaw – dropping views and the opportunity to witness local life, since many shepherds use this route to drive their herds down to the village for winter. Better still, Buran Ghati trek remains a hidden gem and I had all this mostly to myself. A big part of the incredible experience was the Himalaya Shelter trekking team, who was committed to ensuring I was safe, comfortable and enjoying every moment. First of all, I was very lucky to have Bachan Rana himself as my trekking guide. Having grown up in the mountains and founding Himalaya Shelter, Bachan is an excellent conversationalist and experienced trekking guide with so many stories to tell. Meanwhile, the cook, Bablu, provided delicious meals (I still remember the spring rolls!) throughout the trek. He also worked closely with the mule man to do the hard work of pitching the tents, packing up, loading and unloading the mules. The team looked after me really well with high quality equipment – my home for 5 nights was a large North Face tent and a very warm sleeping bag. Finally, Himalaya Shelter was very flexible in customizing my itinerary before and after the trek to my requirements and also helping to book good hotels along the way. Thank you so much Himalaya Shelter for an amazing adventure! I will be back to do another trek…now if I can just decide which one 😊 - Li Wen, Singapore

I did the Nag Tibba trek with my friend, and it was my first trek ever — such an awesome experience! The views were beautiful, the food was super tasty, and the base camp was really nice and comfortable. Our trek leader was very friendly and made the whole journey fun and safe. I totally loved it and would 100% recommend this trek to anyone, especially if it’s your first one! 🏔️✨

We were a group of 3 doing our first trek - Bali Pass Trek. 1. Experience while booking the trek was flexible and accommodating. 2. Prep at Sankri (starting point) before the trek could have been better. If there was checklist read out at Sankri we wouldn't have missed packing a couple of important items but somehow we managed 3. Some rental gear not so good but most of the items needed are available 4. Sonu was a knowledgeable guide and pays attention to detail. I found it a bit hard to build rapport with him but it got better as the trek continued. Wish he made us do warm up/cool down every day but otherwise he knew his stuff 5. Sanjay was a great chef. Tasty and hot, hit the spot every time. We looked forward to it at the end of each day's trek 6. Haridev and Goldie were great help and kept our mood up by cracking joke and singing songs.

The Har Ki Dun trek with Himalaya Shelter was pure magic. From the first step to the final descent, everything was beautifully organized — warm food, cozy tents, and the kindest team you could ask for. We even witnessed snowfall, and despite the tough conditions, our trek captain SONU & RANA special thanks to them went above and beyond — making the right calls, keeping us safe, and lifting everyone’s spirits. Their dedication truly made the journey special and the cook’s effort to serve hot, comforting food in freezing conditions spoke volumes of their commitment. This wasn’t just a trek; it was an experience I’ll cherish forever. 💙 Grateful to Himalaya Shelter for making the mountains feel like home 💫 Here’s to many more trails together! ❄️⛰️

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

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

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

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

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

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

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