Trekking with you guys has been an awesome experience. The scenery was beautiful and lively all throughout the trek. The campsites were good. And the best part was the team I personally thanking Narendra Ji who was our trek guide. Due to heavy snow, it was impossible to make it to the Kuari pass summit, but still, the trek leaders helped us get to the maximum possible height. We walked in 3 to 4 ft of snow. All 2 days our camping was in the snow. It was my first experience of sleeping on the ice bed. special cheers for the kitchen team did a tremendous job they served meals hot and fresh all the time and the quality of food was awesome I liked it very much. this was my first trek with your many more to come. Thank you guys

Kuari Pass is an easy trek, but challenging nonetheless. The first 2 days of the trek were like a walk in the park. The challenge mounted on the 3rd day, the day of Kuari Pass, when one needs to trek in knee-deep snow. Our Crew was amazing and very hospitable. Our guide made the whole trip very adventurous. He taught us snow sliding, finding routes, spotting peaks, and identifying clean streams of water. I was never bored with his narration of folklore. A warm and adventurous personality! We had the best cooks! The food they served us in the mountains was better than the food in the best restaurant in Joshimath. And they were very conscientious of the food they made. Changing the menu as per the requirements of the day, so that we are fresh and active all the time! Thank you Manish and Sohan :) I cannot recommend this trek enough. Astounding and humbling views, fresh air, face off with the elements of nature and a life altering experience!

Thought to be a easy trek in the beginning but it became challenging as we kept acenting. One of the best trek for scenic beauty. The trek wouldn't be easy without proper support of staff. Food was truly delicious and nutritious. Cant expect such amazing tasty food even at ground level. Trek leader had well Knowledge of Pass, nearby peaks and basic medicines. All the arrangements from very beginning to the end was all perfect. Just a recommendation to the crew to carry extra sleeping bag and a tent. Crew was more like a friend and family then just a crew. It is truly said that distance is best measure in friends rather than miles. A lifetime remembering experience....:-)
