What Our Clients Say

Hello, Arun!

I hope you are keeping well this winter, and getting some rest from what was probably a busy trekking season, last year.

I just wanted to say 'thank you', again, for providing for my accomodations, logistics, and guide/porter arrangements on last October's Nanda Devi Santurary trek. I truly had a fantastic experience. The trip was professionally organized. I was well-looked after by guide, Anil, and I highly recommend him for your future treks. Please relay my recommendation of him on to your senior management, and share my 'thanks' with him. You also provided for very kindly guides and a pleasant host family in Mr. Singh and his wife Sita. ..

I hope to do another trek with your company in the future. Again, thank you for everything!

All the best in the New Year,

Kipp Bajaj

Dear Arun,

I am writing with regard to my experience in India.

I would like to thank you very much. I have had a wonderful time and feel that I have been looked after very well. The trek was a great success and all transfers have been well managed. Should I return to India to trek again in the future I shall not hestitate to use your services again and I shall particularly ask for Baldev Rana as my guide.

Similarly I would recommend the same to friends and family. Baldev took great care to satistfy all my needs and is a true gentleman.

Many thanks once again,

Alec Bird

Hello, Arun!

We would like to send a feedback about our trip with your agency in Gangtok.

First of all we would like to thank you for the very good organization.

Our guide D.K. was professional, punctual and spoke good English; we enjoyed talking with him and learning more about your country.The porters did a good job too and the cook was excellent.

Actually we were not used to trek with so many people in the staff: we had only 10kg luggage each to be carried, so 3 porters plus 3 dzoos looked a bit exagerated.

Anyway we enjoyed a lot this experience in Sikkim!

Massimo Rapetti

First of all would like to extend my thanks for all the arrangements and care that was taken. Our trip was most memorable. Would like to highlight some key aspects of the trip:

1. Our driver Kundan was just amazing. His driving was skillful. He was warm and his communication skills were good. When we did encounter or needed his help during our stay he made sure that he did all that he could. Having someone like him on board is definitely an asset to your organisation.

2. Accommodation: The rooms were well maintained. Amenities good. The view was lovely. The food was lip smacking delicious. There was variety every day of our stay and the quality was good. All the service personnel at the resort - from reception, managers, maintenance, housekeeping to the restaurant staff were warm and friendly and made our stay a good experience.

3. Both our guides, Jitendra and Sameen knew what they were talking about and took us through the safari. Elephant Safari was definitely a highlight of the trip. It was available at the resort it was convenient for us and it was well organised.

4. Tanmay who has been my point of contact for this entire package has been most prompt and efficient in addressing all queries and providing me with the information that I need. Definitely job well done!

I will definitely recommend to you to those interested and look forward to doing this again.

With regards,Rhea D'Souza,

We were delighted with your services because of your efficiency and attention to detail, and I'm happy to let you know something about the trip. Jerry was really pleased, as he told you in the car, that you answered his email enquiries so promptly and kept strictly to the point, not sending him information about things he hadn't enquired about, but thoughtfully working out exactly what it was we were after. The trip was exactly what we had requested, in every detail.

Thank you for doing such a great job giving us an outstanding holiday. We will definitely be in touch again next time we want to travel in India.

Penny and Jerry Kent

Is previous hiking experience necessary to go on a trek?

As long as you are in good physical shape, you do not require any hiking experience for short treks. If you are planning a trek longer than a week, you should work out or do long day hikes at home for practice.

What equipment should I bring?

Trekking equipments check listing (Personal Items to be brought by Clients)The list of items as given below gives a general idea of the personal items to be brought by a trekker to trek in Nepal. Actually, the personal items are of individual interest, choice and the luxury he/she wants to enjoy and the most important fact he/she must consider is the time of the year, trekking days, region and altitude as per the situation.

Is a Trekking permit required?

The government of India no longer requires a trekking permit for Everest, Annapurna, Langtang, and some other regions. However, conservation and National Parks permits are required for these regions. There are few restricted trekking areas in Nepal, where trekking permits are necessary. Please click here to know where trekking permit is applicable.

What happens if I get sick?

The most important thing is "DON'T PANIC", you should always ensure that you have a well-stocked and appropriate medical kit as well as sufficient insurance just in case, you should have to be evacuated by Helicopter. A slight case of diarrhea is to be some times expected, as well as sprains and muscle aches - all a part of walking in the hills. Altitude sickness is extremely dangerous but mostly avoidable if you follow a few simple rules: trek high and sleep low, drink at least 2 liters of water per day (not including beer or soft drinks!), and be sensible. If you feel shortness of breath, a slight headache or dizziness, tell your Sardar fro safety. Lie down, drink water as much as possible. If you are still feeling unwell. After that may consider going down a few hundred meters. Do not pretend you are all right, and do not go down alone. A descent of a few hundred meters overnight may be enough to make you fully able to start trekking again next day. For more information, please visit at www.high-altitude-medicine.com. This excellent site will inform you all you need to know, and also include a phonetic Mountain porter questionnaire for your porter. Porters are just as prone to altitude sickness as everyone else is.

What is the maximum weight allowed on domestic flights?

The normal weight limit is 15 kilogram's. While the helicopter shuttle system is operating the limit to Lukla is 20 kg.

Is communication to home possible while on trek?

There are telephones in many villages along the popular trekking routes from which you can make international calls, but not in the far distance in remote areas.

What is the weather & temperature like?

Weather in the mountains is notoriously difficult and hard to predict. Of course, it is generally cold at night, and in winter, the days can be quite beautiful if the sun is out. There can be snow or rain storms any time of the year. Trekking in spring (March - April) is particularly lovely and beautiful as the rhododendrons are in full bloom. The mountains still have plenty of high snow to snap your photos. You need to be aware that it can get pretty hot and sunstroke can be a risk. Good polarizing sunglasses or glacier glasses (not trendy fashion ones) for high altitudes/winter treks, and a large brimmed hat are a necessity. It is also important to make sure that you can stay warm and dry in just about any conditions. Expect the unexpected! Between 1000m and 3500m the temperature could be as high as 20 deg C to 5 deg C low. At higher altitude, the temperature ranges from 20 deg C to -10 deg C. During winter it is around 10 deg colder.
