Indiahikes

Completed my third Trek with IH and it was overwhelming amazing experience right from trek to tent to food and specially trek leaders are amazing will keep going with ImdiaHikes

I have done brahmatal trek with them. Though I am a regular trekker, this was my first high altitude trek and wanted it to be a safe as well as memorable experience. After doing a little research I chose Indiahikes and I am glad I did. Right from booking the trek the process begins, they are very particular about medical fitness and if you follow the instructions well you can enjoy the trek better. Once the trek starts the trek leaders make sure to make your experience a memorable one. Routine vitals monitoring thrice a day, three meals plus snacks on all the days and many more experiences are part of the trek. They are very strict about no drinking/ no smoking policy which is a perfect thing for solo women trekkers. And their green trails is something that impressed me the most. Thanks again team Indiahikes for making yourself and obvious choise for me even in future

I had the incredible experience with India hikes during Deoriatal Chandrashila trek. Right from the initial booking process to the completion of the trek, India hikes exhibited a level of professionalism and attention to detail that sets your organization apart. The pre-trek communication was comprehensive, providing all the necessary information and ensuring that participants were well-prepared for the adventure ahead. The regular updates and timely responses to queries created a sense of confidence and anticipation.

The trek itself was a journey of a lifetime. The carefully crafted itinerary allowed for a perfect balance of challenge and enjoyment. The choice of trails showcased the diverse and breathtaking landscapes that India has to offer, from dense forests and pristine meadows to towering peaks and serene lakes.

The expertise and dedication of the trek leaders were truly commendable. Their knowledge of the terrain, safety protocols, and passion for the mountains were evident throughout the trek. They effortlessly managed the group dynamics, ensuring that everyone felt included and motivated, regardless of their trekking experience.

The support staff, including guides, cooks, and porters, played a crucial role in making the trek enjoyable and comfortable. The quality of the camping equipment, the delicious and nourishing meals prepared at high altitudes, and the overall campsite management reflected the professionalism of the India hikes team.

One of the standout aspects of the trek was the emphasis on responsible trekking and environmental sustainability. The "Leave No Trace"/ "Green Trails" principles were actively promoted, and the team's commitment to preserving the pristine beauty of the trekking trails was commendable.

Undoubtfully, the best trekking company in India. They are very well organized with each and every detail taken care of. Indiahikes has high values which reflect in their green trails project for sustainability. The trek leaders and other staff are well trained for all kinds of contingencies.

I went on my first trek in 2018 to Brahmatal.
The thought of going on a trek was a very impulsive one and I just signed up for it without any planning.
First of all, their site although it can get a little tricky at times and things might have to be better arranged on the website, it has all the information you need. Wether you’re trekking for the first time or you’ve trekked before, it’s got all the information to equip you physically and mentally for a trek.
Second the ease of getting to the base camps. Instructions are crystal clear with no confusion whatsoever. And they even create a group on WhatsApp so you always have someone to ping in case you’re in doubt at any point of time.
Third the trek experience. Now this is what matters the most. I’ve been on 2 treks so far. The treks were beautiful! Although the pictures were slightly better than reality (owing to more snowfall and the good photographers) nevertheless the pictures don’t matter as much as it is not what completely defines a trek. Our trek leaders were brilliant and our 2 technical guides were fun! They took care of us so well and became more than just friends but they really did make me feel like I was part of a community where I belonged. The food is simple and reminds you of home.
And overall you go home wanting to come back for more and I must say, you’ll be missing every bit of the trek till you return for another one:) and that kind of an experience was made possible for me through Indiahikes! So I would totally recommend it to anyone who is planning on trekking:) go for it!

Indiahikes is one of the well rganised treeking organisation, our experince of treking to Har ki Dun with them was very much satisfying and enjoyable. Excellent trek leader, Kudos to kitchen team for providing hot delicous food all along the trek. Tents and other amenities are very clean and safe. Overall an excellent experience.

Buran Ghati Trek (6th Oct 2023) :

First of all, thank you for providing an opportunity to trek with India hikes. I want to show my gratitude towards this very competent team, starting from our trek leader Sunil Lalwani, Deepak bhai, Sinoj bhai and Jitu bhai. My trekking experience was quadrupled because of this team. Special thanks to Sunil for being such a gentleman with a very down to earth personality. Sunil possess amazing leadership quality. He is not only a great leader but also knows how to value friendship above all and a great photographer as well. The team was very competent and knows how to act on different situations. The summit day experience was one of the life time experience for me. It was something to be remembered and pass on to the next generations. Coming to the trekking experience, it was one of those treks where I experienced every bit of nature. There is nothing to dislike. May be IH is a bit generous in rating this trek. According to me it's a "moderate-difficult lvl 3 / difficult lvl 1" trek during this time if it snows. Anyway that's up for a discussion. Special thanks to all kitchen staffs for feeding us so tasty food everyday. It is not easy to put so much effort and prepare this delicious food in such high altitude, they never made us miss our home. For me it's a 10/10 trek for me. Thank you once again for everything. Looking forward to have my next trek with IH very soon.

Selection process:
I do want to point out few things about the selection process. There were few trekkers in our team who were above 50 years old and were not fit enough for this trek. According to me, IH should put a age limit, may be 50 for the treks with this difficulty lvl. Also IH should not consider badges like "marathon runner" and select the person for the trek, even when he/she didn't meet the criteria of running 5 kms under 35 mnts. We all know running a 5 km/10 km marathon once a year is completely different than hiking for 5 days in extreme conditions. The concern came because, this not only hindered trekking experience for fellow trekkers but also put our trek team in difficult situations. I remember our trek team had to put additional effort to escort one trekker in stretcher on our last day after summit because she was unable to complete the trek. I am sure this is not fun for anyone. I recommend IH to consider above things while doing selection.

DIY day:
I got to be the trek lead for a day and learned how to use walkie-talkie. It was a great experience.

Very Beautiful Trail. One must experience. IH is the best platform for trekking. Happy to trek with IH.

Wonderful experience with the Indiahikes team. The trek had added a new dimension of sustainability and minimalism, which I personally cherished the most. It is safe at the same time, you get to experience the magic of nature's marvel. Loved it, will plan my next trip soon.

Kedar kantha Trek (Feb Batch 2022)

An unforgettable adventure with India Hikes.

Had a pleasure of embarking on a breathtaking journey with India hikes.
I can confidently say that it was an exp of a lifetime.
From the moment I signed up for the trek to the moment in returned every aspect of the trip was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed.

I'm thrilled to share my remarkable experience with India Hikes and wholeheartedly recommend them for your trekking escapades. If you're in two minds about choosing India Hikes, let me assure you – your doubts should vanish.

My recent Valley Of Flowers trek with India Hikes was nothing short of transformative. Opting for India Hikes was certainly the best decision I made. From setting up a dedicated WhatsApp group for updating our family's to providing personalized advice and unwavering guidance, they truly went the extra mile. The camaraderie we shared during the trek felt like being part of an extended family, encapsulating the essence of togetherness.

I never once felt out of place or hesitant to ask for help. My gratitude towards the India Hikes team knows no bounds. As a first-time trekker, I grappled with anxiety, but India Hikes created an environment that made me feel right at home. Even during moments when I considered throwing in the towel, the team's unwavering support and determination pushed me to forge ahead.

Now, let me spotlight a pivotal facet of my journey: I never felt out of place, and I always knew I could turn to the India Hikes team for anything. I am deeply indebted to them, particularly because, as a first-time trekker, anxiety and nervousness were my companions. However, India Hikes transformed that uncertainty into a sense of belonging, making me feel entirely at ease. There were instances when I believed I had reached my limits, yet the team's spirit propelled me forward, instilling in me the belief that I could conquer any challenge. I must also commend the incredible individuals I had the privilege of meeting during the trek. The journey was challenging yet the rewards were beyond measure. To those mulling over a trip to the Valley of Flowers or contemplating trekking with India Hikes, I echo the sentiment of Nike – Just do it.

I'd like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Tilak, our experience coordinator, for ensuring seamless arrangements. Dhananjay, our trek leader, who ensured everyone is safe, comfortable and having fun, Manish and Suraj, the pillars of the trek team, whose support and guidance pushed us forward.

Now, let me recount a memorable episode – my birthday celebration. Opting to go solo, I embarked on this trek as a birthday treat. Much to my delight, India Hikes surprised me with a cake, making me feel exceptionally cherished on my special day. This gesture has kindled in me a desire to celebrate all my birthdays with India Hikes. Also, it's worth mentioning that the food they provided wasn't just nutritious it was very flavorful too.

In conclusion, my journey with India Hikes was an unforgettable adventure. I wholeheartedly encourage you to take the plunge – you won't regret it.

I have been on two treks with India hikes, my first trek was Roopkund and the second one was kedarkantha. After the first trek I decided that if I ever go for a trek with a group it would be IndiaHikes. From the moment I met the team at the pick up point, everyone were very welcoming and by the time I left they felt like a family. Everything from the accommodation, the tent, food, safety, etc was excellent. It was an amazing experience to trek the Himalayas with India hikes. I will definitely be doing more treks in the near Future with India hikes and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to explore the great outdoors.

One of the best decisions I made back in 2019 was to go on a trek by myself, yet not entirely by myself. I like to call it my first #solonotsolo trek:)

Although I thought it would be like a solo trip, Indiahikes and the amazing people I went with changed that thought on the first day itself. We were taught the importance of being fit and staying together as a group while being cognizant of the Greentrails initiative - which was to give back to our community by collecting waste and trash humans had left behind on the beautiful pristine mountains. We were taught the importance of not encouraging littering and adding to the waste. I loved how environmentally conscious Indiahikes is and inspires trekkers to be. We had ambitious and friendly guides on the trek - Vivek and Guddu who we learnt a lot from.

There's soooo much to say about my trekking experience and also Indiahikes - they accommodated food requests (made lemon tea for me on request), ensured that we were safe at all times, provided hot, fresh and nutritious food even at a height of 11700 ft. What's most special for me is that they arranged (and baked) a cake for me in the middle of the mountains as it was my birthday during time that we were trekking. And that was one of the best and most memorable birthdays I've had.

But the BEST part of the trek? I found awesome people who are good friends now:)

It's more about ur connection with the other world, Ur companions will always be The Gigantic Mountains who support u throughout ur path, Sunrise n sunsets who will illuminate an transform u from within.and of course The Winds - without whom u can never realise the essence of nature.

They have lot of information in their website. Documentation is very nice. Website is user friendly and theyll quickly respond to all your queries.

I have done Buran Ghati trek in last May 2019, I have never done trekking earlier I am 48, Indiahikes prepared me well before the trek with fitness tips and preparation for the journey, what to carry etc, I sincerely followed all the emails and you tube videos posted by them, I ran average 50 Km a month before the trek, which I continue now also and helped me to reduce my weight from 73 kgs to 65 now.
The trek was well organized, with experienced trak leader and guides, every day briefing and guidance, food, camp sites are well planed, In the middle of the trek we experience heavy snow and also experience avalanches, the team handled the situation well, and we made to stay put in the camp for one more day until the situation improved, finally we reached the summit and was a wonderful experience.
I have given 4 star rating one star was with held due to the not good quality of Haters and spikes provided in the base camp.

Did Nag Tibba trek with India Hikes in March 2019 with my wife.
- 3 people sharing tent. Wasn't notified of this earlier. My wife had to share the tent with other 2 girls, her being first time trekker was not comfortable sleeping in the forest for the first time with unknown people.
- One group in our trek team were constantly playing music while on the trail. Trek Leader didn't do anything even when asked multiple times.

Other than that, the trek crew were very professional and friendly. I have trekked with TTH earlier and found them better comparatively.

New route should need to be open for experienced trekker. Rate should not be too high. Most importantly a whatsapp group group should be formed with limited experienced trekker to share their views/ comments/picture after each trek (not even with Indiahikes). Most importantly a homely atmosphere should need to be created before a trek so that everyone should know each other before a trek. I m 47 and stilll carrying my own backpack, have done solo also, doing treks from last 20 years. I don't want to join a trek which seems like a trekking class conducted by a company like Indiahikes. Best wishes. Thanks.

I am sharing my experience with India Hikes. I have stayed in USA since 1987 and I wanted to relive experience of trekking in Himalayas that we had in 1984 as an undergrad when we went to RuinsaraTal through Himankan organized by IIT, Powai. I also thought it may be good experience of trekking in Himalayas for my teenage daughter. I was overall not sure how the whole experience will pan out. I hence asked a lot of questions in the beginning (starting of availability of hot water in camps, what shoes to rent, etc.etc.) to India Hikes team and Prathima patiently answered all the questions. I was very thankful to the in-depth information she provided to all the questions.

The trek itself was managed very well - many thanks to the great trek leaders we had Vijit, Priyamvada, Nishant, Diptarko (I hope I spelt it right!). All four of them were taking care of the team very well making sure every one is able to complete the trek, while injecting a lot of humor on the way. My daughter also enjoyed the trek thoroughly, making great friends with several on the team. I being the oldest in the team was the Uncle for all of them, and I also enjoyed making friends with all the youngsters!

The food on the trek was amazing and very nutritious I thought with Chapati, Rice, Dal, Sabji, Salad given at each meal. I also relished all the sweets given including the wonderful Gulab Jamuns on the last day.

It is also great to see the commitment of India hikes to green trail, environment and nature conservation.

The trail Tarsar Marsar itself is wonderful with beautiful vistas on the way. India Hikes has done a very good job of providing information about it.

Overall my experience with India Hikes was excellent and I will highly recommend them as a trekking group.

Super helpful folks, maintain really good standards wrt hygiene and safety while making sure that the trekkers get the best experience. Their website is also very helpful for DIY treks, with detailed explanations of the routes

The biggest lesson you learn when you are in the mountains is to let go of your ego. Accept the nature the way it is. Never to challenge nature. Be incredibly humble.

First of all, thank god Indiahikes exist ;) This is my second trek with India hikes, and there is absolutely no doubt, I would choose India hikes over any other trek organizers for all my future treks.

The whole experience was incredible. Right from the day we were all picked from Shimla on time, to the day we were dropped off back to our respective places, everything was on time, highly professional and caring staff, entertaining and educating guides.

Food served was sumptuous and nutritious. All the staff members were extremely friendly. Day 1 to day N Briefings were very elaborate and informative.

Our trek lead Geet was just amazing. He got along the team so very well that we felt he is part of our group. His briefing was very crisp and clear. Geet kept us engaged throughout the trek with lots of fun activities. Along with the games, he also conducted informative discussions on wildlife, climate change, avoiding the usage of plastics etc. We would love to get him as our trek lead in our future treks.

Tents were in good condition and neat. Sleeping bags were good and comfortable too.

When trekking with Indiahikes, we know that we are in good hands. The safety gear was in good condition. The regular health checkups really helped us in knowing how our body acclimatized to the altitude, and to take proper measures to be healthy at such altitudes.

All the group activities like virtual volleyball, the number game, 7-up, Fire in the mountain, the stretching sessions everyday after the trek really helped us bond better.

The highlight was a letter-writing at the Chandranahal lake. The whole experience was extremely incredible.

We also loved the Mafia game we played most of the nights in the night. Geet participated in all the games just like us, which made the whole team bond with him and to feel really comfortable to approach him about any issues we had.

Its always when we register for the treks, we start the habit of running, and it continues even after the trek is completed. I have made running part of my workout routine since the time I went on my first trek last year.

It's great that Indiahikes gives atmost importance to the trekker's fitness regimes and takes it very seriously. We get a sense of responsibility when we are asked to be able to achieve certain level of fitness.

The green trails initiative is an excellent program. It makes us re-think every time we use plastic/paper unnecessarily. It also helps to create awareness in trekkers to maintain the clean trails as much as possible.

Had a wonderful trek with India hikes. They were very professional emphasised on safety and health of the hikers. Took care of people who were sick.

I had my first Himalayan trekking experience (Chandrashila trek) with Indiahikes on Apr-2021 and I was very amazed by their very well trained trek leader, professionalism and safety standard. They do lost of team activities during the trek so you will not feel lonely even if you are alone. And last thing which matters a most. Food was excellent).

I have trekked with Indiahikes and found them to be professional, while at the same time responsive to unforeseen needs; and sensitive to the environment, people and areas that their groups interact with as part of treks. They are a rare breed of enterprise that genuinely integrate social and environmental responsibility in their business model. They offer very good value through the experiences; and the dedication and love for what they do comes through in their staff

First of all thanks a lot to IndiaHikes. This is one organization that has the potential to project India in the eco and adventure tourism sector in a big way. They are a very highly professional team of people, yet at the same time very humble and true to their values they boast about. May it be revamping the trekking scene in Himachal and Uttarakhand a big way. May it be including the local population to make them earn better living. May it be being sensitive to the environment while they do all these. India Hikes has absolutely aced it I Believe. I am yet to join them on any of their trekking but i have been following India hikes story for quite some time now. I beat my Monday blues by going through regular trek updates or great insight and tips from Swati and Suhas. I believe it's out doors where all the fun starts.and given a chance I would definitely prefer to be in the company of these wonderful team.

I have done 4 treks with IH. Awesome experience. Planning my 5th soon.

They are best in their field. Good job to all the planner and salute to Trek Leaders

Did my first trek (Deoriatal Chandrashila) with IndiaHikes in April this year.
Right from when I booked the trek to till I finished my trek and came back to Rishikesh, every thing was handled very professionally by IndiaHikes. Each and every staff member was well trained and highly passionate individuals who gave their best. Every trekker in my group was well taken care. Medical emergencies, special requests, unforeseen climatic challenges were all taken care so professionally. Very highly passionate individuals are taken on board and are well trained. Green trail concept was an eyeopener. They care about the environment. We were well fed with great food all throughout. Would highly recommend IndiaHikes for your trek. Keep up the great work IH.

Himalayas, define the Indian Subcontinent. Geographically, Historically and Culturally; and Trekking in the Himalayas to me is defined by IndiaHikes.

I have done three Himalayan Treks with IndiaHikes till date namely Valley of Flowers, Sandakphhu and Pangarchullah. Treks for me are to be in the lap of nature, to rejuvenate and recharge and IndiaHikes allows me to do all this and yet responsibly. Responsibility, they say is towards the mountains, towards the local community in order to make the whole experience sustainable.

One may not associate ‘responsible’ with trekking because we think of trekking as a get-away from our urban lives. We are in the mountains to have fun. But, IndiaHikes is a bit different in this regard. They insist that We, the urban city dwellers must come to the mountains with a sense of reverence towards it. And when we go back, we should leave the mountains, if not better at least not worse. IndiaHikes with their wonderful initiatives like Eco-Trail, Garbage Disposal and Segregation, Working with the Local communities ensure that they are always contributing to the local eco-system and making trekking sustainable. And believe me this is not just a gimmick or buzzword with IndiaHikes. I have seen them giving utmost importance to it. All their trek leaders that I have been with are deeply and seriously committed to this cause.

Speaking of the Trek Leaders and the Support Staff, I will say that IndiaHikes is blessed to have some of the best women and men of India as a part of their team. The Trek Leaders are exceptional mountaineers, wonderful people managers, compassionate and go the extreme in helping others; sometimes even at the cost of personal risk. Same can be said about the Support Staff also. I am in constant touch with all my previous IndiaHikes Trek Leader and am deeply inspired by them.
In the end I will only say that the Himalayas should be explored by everyone. You may not have seen anything so majestic like this. And If you want to go on trek, trek with IndiaHikes and you will not regret.

If you think trekking is not your cup of tea, read IndiaHikes’s motto-Everyone Must Trek!

IndiaHikes is one the the best trek organizers in India. They have good experienced trek leaders and coordinators, a well supporting team of local people to help during the camping. They have the green trail concept with enabled the trekkers to clean the trekking trail to be free of plastic and non-decomposable wastes. The trekking path is well explored by the team before they take the trekkers on the same. They have a very good policy which allows one to undertake any number of times a trek which has been once completed by you, without having to pay for it after the first time. I would highly recommend this group for any Himalayan trekking.

Had been with India Hikes for the first time in Feb to Kedarkantha.earlier had been with other companies but the professionalism, Safety precautions, the camp sites, their staff & ultimately the food was beyond my expectations. The Trek leader are professional and engage you in various activities everyday. There was meaning full nature activities like Hugging a tree, making a project in a group which reminds us our connection with mother nature. Several small things like washing ur utensils with minimum water, use of bathroom tents, tying of ur shoe laces, use of ecobags etc every detail was taken care.

My experience with Indiahikes has been great. It has been the best in terms of service, fun, support, learning and many other aspects. My first trek (Kedarkantha) in the himalayas was with Indiahikes and I loved it. I would love to continue trekking with Indiahikes for providing such an amazing, caring and motivating atmosphere to all the trekkers. And as a teenager, I started trekking when I was 10 years old though I have done only one trek but I am hoping to do one this year (13 years right now). So I would like to encourage the youngsters of this generation to embrace trekking with IH because they are doing an amazing job.

Arjun sir
Good evening.
Sorry, my review late, but trekking transforming my life. Trekking hike in my professional income.
So trekking is my passion.
Thanks & Regards
Jaggu Singh

There cannot be anything better than Indiahikes in the field of trekking. The way in which they manage, organise, coordinate all of their treks with such affection and smoothness is admirable. Once trekked with Indiahikes, one will find it very difficult to feel comfortable in the mountain trails without them. They take care on every aspect of the trek. Thank you Indiahikes, for giving me such beautiful and memorable memories.

I have never done any treks with Indiahikes, but I enquired about the treks conducted for women and kids. I have been given the detailed information on how they organize the treks for different places and the cost of each treks. I am very much interested in joining them on their forthcoming treks.

I traveled with India hikes and trekked ii find it amazing hiw easily they olan activities and very much professionals in what they do.i always reach out to thier blogs for any help required related to trekking

My first trek was with Indiahikes and the experience was memorable. I did Kashmir Great Lakes with them back in 2014 and since then I've been to multiple treks. Right from the trek lead to the guide (who I am still in touch with!) and the staff, everyone was extremely helpful, hospitable and kind. The trek in itself was gorgeous. Since then, I've done 1 more trek with IH and what stands out the most the the Green Trails campaign. IH is truly a blessing for trekkers in India. A big shoutout to Sandhya and Arjun for starting IH and making people fall in love with trekking <3

Well, what a lovely experience it was! I remember the sentence that I used and feeling that I had on a last day of trekking- 'Most luxurious trek ever'. I have travelled through Sahyadri and this was my first experience ever with a professional trek group. I am really sure that no one else could manage the trek that India hikes have managed it. Once you book a trek, I think journey starts from there, they help you with all the information. Being first timer in Himalaya, I was un-ware of climate, terrain and difficulties. By the time I reach there, I was educated by their videos. This team is well organised in all the ways. Highly recommended. Credits goes to all team of India Hikes and of course Arjun who have managed to keep these passionate souls together. Looking forward for more treks with India Hikes.

I had participated in a winter trek to Kedarkantha from 1st to 6th Dec. 2019, with India Hikes. I started alone from Kolkata and met all unknowns who became friends during trekking. This was my first trek with India Hikes. Earlier I had few experiences of trekking/ Cycling with others. But this time I was experiencing some sort of well organized support services since my registration with India Hikes.
During trekking with them I was wondering how well organized they are, specially on the health and safety issues. I was 51+ age and the senior most of the team. Still I had never felt any insecurity even in an extraordinary ancle deep snow and cold, which is unusual in early December.
Finally, it was an unforgettable lifetime experience of summit and return. Thanks India Hikes and their team! Hope to join again you guys!

Very well organized trek. Made life easier for first time trekker. Very happy with all arrangements.

Best trekking organization in India. Extremely well organised and they take keeping the environment plastic free, clean and being sustainable very seriously. Highly recommend.

My experience with Indiahikes is positive one. They seriously passionate about trekking and hiking and they make sure everybody is safe and healthy during the activities. They have competent trek guide and excellent support stuffs to help you at your trekking expedition. Very trustworthy and recommended one.

One cons: I would say at times, Indiahikes stuffs are pretty restrictive and sometimes they force their ideas on the participants.

Update 2020: They have improved immensely on every aspect of it. The cons I specified before have been also taken care of. Highly recommend everybody to go for Indiahikes. They are on of the best in the Trekking world.

I just recently concluded my bramathal trek, it was a blessing in disguise I choose India Hikes.

A well experienced and professional team. India Hikes changed my whole expectations of trek.

A special thanks to Sharu, Adi, Deepak and team for a well coordinated trek kudos to you guys, keep up the great work.

My heartful thanks to trek leader Adi who changed my whole perception of trekking

I was amazed by the safety measures & services provided by this team when I had a discussion with one of the promoters. Quite a professional bunch with an expertise in hiking in Himalayas. I can't wait to trek with my team as we go for destination workouts. Way to go guys!

Kedarkantha being my first Himalayan trek, I was a little anxious as to how will I be able to walk/climb Soo much, what will the food be like, will the people around help if there was any difficulty and the list goes on. But thanks to Indiahikes I had the most memorable first trek experience. The tents, the food, even the toilets are Soo well arranged. The trek guides are Soo motivating, they help you with the smallest thing required and look after all the arrangements. I would definitely recommend Indiahikes to anyone going for treks in order to make it enjoyable and memorable.

Let me first tell two very objective reasons for which Indiahikes should be your first preference when it comes about trekking.
Firstly if you are looking for safety in your trek, Indiahikes is the safest trek organization in India.
Secondly, even though they are the reason for which too many people have started to come to the mountains and generating a huge amount of waste, Indiahikes acts as a very responsible organization. They not only properly segregate the waste created by their own trek team but also cleans up the trails on which they operate under the umbrella of their loved "Green Trails" program.

The trails they follow are very well planed and gives you the most of natural beauty. Often these trails are different from the popular trails and that gives you the opportunity to trek in seclusion avoiding the crowd in peak seasons.

Apart from this, you get a lot more information about the mountains and trekking from their local staffs and trek leaders. When you trek with Indiahikes, you get real life lessons from the nature and when you come back from the trek as they say " you will be a changed person mentally, physically and spiritually".

You need to do a trek with them to really experience the things I am talking about here.p. S. There are usually around 20 people in each batch they operate.so if you are looking o trek with small group then it might not be a good option.

Perfect place for any one to begin and continue trekking. They are very good, their leaders are proficient yet humble, I enjoyed every moment of my trek with the team. Totally recommend to all adventure lovers to trek with them at least once.

Hi trekkers hope you are all safe during this period of COVID-19. I feel honoured to share my experience of trekking thank you Mr Arjun Majumdar. Actually I am a home maker I have raised my family from last 28 years now my kids got their own wings so they flew away and I got spare time to think what should I do now. Although I am a home maker but I like to be out doing some extraordinary things. I belong to Uttarakhand and was looking for some trekking help, in fact, there is one of my school senior who is into it I did some messenger but didn’t get any response, but as we say where there is a will there’s a way. My husband’s niece who lives in Gujarat she called me and told me that she was going with India hikes to Mukta Top and she told me that anybody can join you guys, I asked her that if I can go on the same hike but she explained me about fitness test and all and she downloaded Nike run club for me.
I started using that app from very next day wanted to check my fitness level and must I am pretty fit for it. Then I got an opportunity through her only she told me that there is ‘Sikh Jatha’ from Mumbai who every year organise a ‘Hemkund Shaahib’ Yatra so I was ready for it as outdoor activities with nature is my passion I was very exited.
I thought as I was starting my second innings God has given me an opportunity to start on his name on 14 July 2019 I started my first trek and guys I thank that almighty for being there with me and I was able to finish it so nicely that all the Jatthaa people appreciated me a lot.
I give credit to my niece and Shukuraanaa to Waheguru Ji
Although my children and husband supported me a lot without them I couldn’t think of doing it.
Lastly Mr Arjun Majumdar thank for giving me an opportunity to pen my experience much appreciated.

To be honest, I haven't done tracking with indiahikes yet. But seeing the experience of others, helpful youtube videos, seeing their websites & reasonable tracking price and all.
Now I can honestly say it is India's the most professional trusting trekking platform,
Indiahikes is playing a huge role in tracking world and teaching how to track the mountains and the jungle.
In future, I really wish to track with Indiahikes more and more, because I don't want to work
earn money, live and die.

Really good operator to trek with. They are mindful of the environment and do their bit to set things right. The trek leaders are very capable and knowledgeable. If you are planning your first trek, go with Indiahikes. It's a great way to get started.

I have been trekking with indiahikes for last 10 years (at least 1 trek a year). Having done some treks with other agencies, I can confidently say that the professionalism and the consistency in quality (of guides / planning / food) of indiahikes as a trekking service provider is unmatched in India.
One example of professionalism i saw was in 2019 when they went ahead with trek with a batch of just 3 people including me - knowing fully well that this would cause a drain on their resources/ money. Another thing which i have heard all my fellow trekmates over the last years is that - food prepared by indiahikes is by far the best. Also in terms of guide quality, all guides go through a rigorous training courses (they have a training facility in dehradun i think) before they are assigned to a batch - which ensures consistency and quality of indiahikes guides. Their safety / contingency planning is one of the best.
I have seen indiahikes operate for 10-12 years now - their aim has never been to fill up the batches. The philosophy of indiahikes remains intact till date which is -> To facilitate treks and encourage people to take up trekking by providing information / guidance.

I've been meaning to share a lengthy review for quite sometime. I trekked with IH once and it was the Sandakphu Trek back in November 2018. Its been over a year and half but it's still so fresh in my mind. I'd never forget the people i met there, the places I've been, the sights I've seen, i simply wont be able to do justice to that if i try putting them into words, no matter what.

Post that and then coming back to the routine i had, coz back then i was working in Oman in rigorous circumstances, i realized.this wasn't for me. I put down my papers and came back to India.
I think the trek and the experience of a lifetime that it was influenced this decision.

So thank you IndiaHikes. Hope to trek with you more.

I came to see a request from India Hikes team to write a review about my experience with Indiahikes which I saw quite late but could not ignore.
So here I am trying to pen down my experience of Kedarkantha Trek, with Indiahikes, in the year 2016.

Before I start I would definitely say that the trekking experience is something to be felt and enjoyed and it goes into your memories so deep that after almost 4 yrs and sitting miles apart from my beloved country It brings smile on my face and I still can write down my fond memories about the trek.

I am fond of winter trek and I specially chose the Kedarkantha trek for the scenic icy show and I chose to trek with Indiahikes as they are experienced professionals in the trek industry. At start there was no sign of snow in the climate on the day we reached the base camp but next was just too opposite and the weather did not disappointed us and the next 5 days whatever I experienced, I just have beautiful memories about it.

I have been to different trek with different organizations but I would defiantly say that no one is like Indiahikes and the way they care in each steps - I remember that Indiahikes carry oxygen cylinder and different monitoring device and keep checking up on us so that we are fine in those difficult circumstances (this I can quote for safety). They made us play games so that we are fimiliar with the whole team and play games so that we don't become lazy in the harsh weather and keep our blood warm:). These are few examples.

Ahh! I tried to keep the review short and sweet but somehow it went bit long. So not going much further I would like to thank Indiahikes team for their help and guide in the whole trek and for making memories worth cherished for. I honestly admit that I miss being out in the woods and I am waiting for going back again.

Site information:
Detailed and covers almost all necessary information regarding the trek of interest including how/where to meet, trek schedule, modes of transport to reach base camp, fitness required and how to attain that level of fitness, what to carry, etc. If you still feel you don't have the answer to your question, the trek coordinator is for your help. The site also suggests what trek to consider given the time of the year you are traveling and your experience. There are blog post and articles which help too.

Booking:
Pretty straightforward and easy. You get assigned a trek coordinator once you book the trek. You could ask any trek-related specific question of yours to trek coordinator if necessary. It seems like Indiahikes has a good standardized SOP for getting you onboard before you start your trek which includes personal details, fitness proof, doctor's certificate, etc. All-in-all organized and detailed.

Trek experience:
Overall great. The trek management was on-point. Every campsite was a permanent one, at least for this trek. The food was simply superb. One instance we got pasta for dinner. There's always desserts for dinner too. The trek leader and guides were informative, helpful and supportive. They would always keep it social with group activities. There would always be am emphasis on how to make trekking more sustainable and environmental friendly and the group activities would always be around the same. There also the Green Trails initiative where you are encouraged to keep your trek clean and collect trash while trekking. Regarding health checks, heart rate reading are taken every morning, evening and night to make sure you are acclimatized with the weather and check if you are fit to continue with the trek. There's always a huge focus on the trekkers' safety.

All-in-all one of the best trek experiences I have ever had. I'd strongly recommend Indiahikes for whoever is planning for a trek.

The trek was very well coordinated, you get ample time to submerge yourself in the nature without worrying about food and shelter.
Kudos to Indiahikes!

I'd very little idea when i signed up for my first high altitude hike through IH. But the actual experience was beyond my imagination and IH played a major role in making it such. Their preparedness, trained, certified and experienced Trek Leaders and coordinators would on and all make the trip safe and fun. I cannot wait to sign on to my next trek again.

India Hikes a professional team with great experience in trek management which includes planning, people and arrangements.

I have been twice with India hikes. Their organization is very nice and the food is so yummy. They prepared separate food for Jains which is a great deal up in the mountains. The main reason you need to go for indiahikes is the green trails.keep the mountains clean along with having fun.

Having done about 3 Himalayan treks before, this is my first trek with India Hikes and it was an amazing experience!

The trek leaders and guides were experienced, skilled and trust worthy. Food was healthy and hygienic. Must mention that the sleeping bags were of a very nice quality which mattered a lot as we were fresh every morning.

I cannot fail to mention how every evening was eventful with group activities and sports that bring all the trekkers together.

However, the most appreciable effort on the part of India Hikes is their GreenTrail initiative. Keeping the trails clean and leaving them better than we found them is something that satisfies trekkers.

Cheers!

Indiahikes is highly professional trekking organization. I had done Deoriatal - Chandrashila trek with Indiahikes back in 2017. It was a wonderful trek. When I say professional, they are truly professional in all areas of the trek organising. Be it a trek leaders (they have the best trek leaders in the country), guides, food, trek coordinators, their seriousness about fitness of the trekkers, their communication with the trekkers, safety measures, slope management and I can go on and on. Only in one trek, it has left an indelible impression on my mind and I remember it practically everyday. It is the most visited page on my browser, Facebook, etc. N yes how can I forget their beautiful calendar.articles/ write ups n videos are also amazing. Indiahikes goes much beyond trekking I would say. It's trek documentation is amazing.it advises you on trek equipments.all n all it's great organisation. It's a benchmark in itself.

Even though it was my first experience, I found Indiahikes to be the most knowledgeable, well equipped, environmentally responsible (very admirable) and most importantly truly committed hiking company.

I went with Indiahikes to Phulara Ridge Trek in autumn 2019 and it was amazing! Beautiful group of people, very responsible professional, yet friendly trek leadership, everything went smoothly and we even learned something about first aid and safety in a very playful and fun way)
Their respect towards nature and their green trails program is very nice to witness.
Men or women, it didn't matter - all were treated equally well, with appropriate respect and care. From the beginning till the end, it was clear that our safety was #1 priority and we needed to undertake regular health checks.
As a foreigner, I was a bit worried whether the food wouldn't be too spicy for me, but it was perfect. I had absolutely no issues.
It was so beautiful that I had tears in my eyes when we had to leave the mountains. I can only recommend Indiahikes and I would totally use their service again.
Thank you so much Indiahikes for this beautiful opportunity!

India Hikes is so synonymous with trekking now, that nothing or no one else comes to mind when I recommend a trail to someone. I remember the days when I had to start months in advance to plan a trek, reaching out to contacts who were mostly not reachable on their phones, reach out to friends, gather minor details likes bus numbers, kms on a trail, mark water spots and get gear! The preparation was more arduous than the treks themselves, its such a breeze now, with the long list of ever growing IH trails, you have to think of the kind of trek you wanna do and chose from the menu! More time for passion now:) they seem so systematic and thorough in their planning and execution. Their logistics, gears and instructors are impressive too. Even if i am on a solo/independent trek, if i know an IH team is somewhere on the trail thats a relief by itself:) cheers guys.keep up the good work.

Had trekked with Indiahikes to Buran Ghati last year and it was a fabulous team of hikers who guided us to the summit and brought us back safe. Escaped from snow avalanche because of their skills to handle such situations. Experienced professionals and knows their job well. Keep it up India Hikes and happy trekking.

Did 2 treks with IH. Awesome trails they choose. Group size of 20-25 ppl. Personal attention to trekker's health is given by the trek leaders.

Awesome process for registration and coordination before and after the trek.

Will definitely recommend all to trek with IH at least once.
