A remarkable experience with Himalayan High. Indeed an organisation to be bowed down and saluted for their awesome arrangements, highly experienced and friendly trek leaders and guides and deliciously delicious food provided at those freezing conditions. With special mention to Suman da, Anand Ji and Rina, its been a fascinating experience starting from day one till the end of the trek. Its been a trek to remember for and to add more, the musical evening at Sankri on the last day with guitar,shakers and bongo will be cherished throughout my lifetime!!

Perfect Arrangements and food. Never thought of having momos and chole puri on trek. Experienced Leaders and I think "chalo chalo and khao khao" helped me to complete this trek. Thx for such a wonderful time HH...Would recommend it to everyone.

Thanks to Himalayan High family (Suman, Montu, Hemanshu and ram). Me and my wife had Summited kanyatse 2 on 27 September 2017.I was worried a lot before our trek but Suman really the great personality, who understood me in depth and made all aspects very clear. I have done Everest base camp Nov 2015 and with my wife summited stok kangri Sep 2016 in groups but kanyatse we were only two. Montu Singh the real Mountaineer, very good guide and good trek leader always encouraged us. Ram made us comfortable with variety of good quality food. Himalayan High has good quality equipments which is very important for 6000mts climbers. Finally I conclude that we can believe this family like company, may be small but does what they promise.

Where do I start!! One of the most well managed trekking organisation I have ever trekked with. Me and my group trekked to Kedarkantha with H.High and right from the pickup from Dehradhun to the Tempotraveler the driver everything was spot on. The accommodation at the base camp Sankri is very clean and the food was excellent. The guides that came with us and the cooks were very knowledgable and humble. They accommodated all our request and at the same time followed a schedule needed for a successful trek. It was a wonderful experience. Mr. Suman and Himanshu were very friendly and Trek leader Mangal is highly recommended best man to trek with. Thank you Himalayan high for an unforgettable experience we will surely come back. Many more treks await. God speed!

We had been for Kedar kantha winter trek and to my surprise it was one of the best treks ever Firstly the accommodation was top class, the guest cottage at the base was really a comfort place before and after the trek secondly the accommodation during thee trek again was a complete comfy feeling thirdly the food - what else can i say about it, extremely nutritious and tasty food served hot . last but not the least i would thank Mr Mangal & Mr Kamal (Trek Leaders) for taking us for the trek and back and always motivating us to climb and never give up. they were the real inspiration for the trek and the men behind all the arrangements above hats of to the guys Would suggest all to experience the mountains with HIMALAYAN HIGH and get the real feel of nature. I would surely return to HIMALAYAN HIGH when mountains call hungry for more!!!!!!

Writing for someone is like giving words to what u have in heart for someone. Believe me trekking is not my cup of tea, i am a lazy lad, comfort couch is my zone, but i cant deny my luv for valleys and mountains. The fragrance of mist, serenity of mountains, clarity of sky letting stars to breathe, trees guarding the hills and calmness of nature shakes my innersome to wake up and explore. Just a word by my guru Arvind (also my co-trekker) ‘chalega kya’, was an irresistable call, yes was the only response i made. Honestly saying Himalayan High was a new name for me, but the co-trekkers were known. Call it voyage, exploration, strength test or memorable experience, for me it started on 1st of Oct 2017 and ended on october 6th, hats off to team Himalayan high for serving us with best. They tried to feed us with best food, best shelter and warmth. Especially i was most impressed by the kindness and human touch they showed throughout, may it be Govind/Yudveer( our chefs), Suman ( the leader), Montu ( the passionate guide) and others, all were perfect. When you are a layman and unknown to surroundings, then a guide like Montu is perfect to rely on, who will walk you out of every odd and even with perfection and will escort like a shadow to boost your morale to achieve what u aimed for. Overall the whole expedition had: 1.Perfect Arrangement 2.Perfect Guidance 3.Perfect Hospitality 4.Clarity 5.Passion, love and respect towards what is being performed. Thanks Himalayan High team for making my experience with mountains worth and full of memories, looking forward to trek with u guys again.

We were looking for trek organizer who can customize based on our requirement, and one right thing we did is we selected Himalayan High and rest everything happened like scripted event. (obviously i can say this after completing trek with Himalayan High). Initially I was bit worried about food and accommodation as this was my first trek , first camping experience. We walked around 60+ km with Himalayan High and every day i noticed they served us better day after day. Start from morning tea till night bed time drink everything was well planned and coordinated, snacks in evening after long walk was on time, kudos to Govind, Yudhveer and Vikesh, they took good care of our diet, I didn’t feel that I had to suffer or starve for food. And finally trek guide I simply don’t have words for Mr Montu singh , this guy is so serious and passionate about his work. I still remember his briefing in haryanavi accent (6 7 8 , Shreemanji ) so sweet and naïve, he took very good care during trek and he works religiously. Another thing I like about Montu and Suman is they are passionate about their job and true nature lover, at some places they didn’t hesitate to remind us why we should not make noise and disturb serenity even if some bunch of ppl doing it. So at the end it was mesmerizing and with lot of fun to trek with team which is passionate about job which they are doing. Looking forward to do more treks with Himalayan High. Cheers, Bhushan

Amazing team that helps you feel like a close knit family Amazing attachment to mountains and great commitment to their work i did 2 summits in 8 days (Pangarchulla, Chandrashila and Kuari pass) and i owe all to the great team Suman was very supportive and very much to the point since start of arrangements and planning Montu is probably one of the best mountain lover. Shrimanji is so fun to hike with. Goving bhai is a great cook and you see him smiling always when he helps you with the food. I saw him like Anapurna god in tranquility Yaduveer anbd Bikesh were like younger bros supporting you at ease phase and they mingled very well Deepak, our saarthi was pretty enthusiastic and helped us move places to places with ease and smile. Well done guys and great thanks from all of us. You made us feel great and i wish you the best. Hire them for :- Focused group, no nonsense advise, professionalism, care for the eco system and affection If you dont care for the environment and not passionate enough to enjoy within limited resources and do not love walking in the woods for long with amazing folks then they are not the ones who will pamper you with wrong advise..

Chandrashila & Pangarchula Kuari Pass
Arvind Joshi, IT Engineer, Singapore

4 weeks ago We friends and colleagues (5 of us) were thinking of Himalayan trek for past two years and every time we kept on postponing it by trekking elsewhere. This year we booked the tickets well in advance in Jun for our trek starting on 29th Sept with the return ticket on 8th Oct. So we had good 8 days for actual trek. Then the research started with going through websites of different trekking companies. Most of them had fixed schedule with the batch size of more than 20. We didn't want to go with such a big group so we decided on customized trek. Then after going through rounds of discussion amongst us we drafted an itinerary to get most out of 8 days. We finalized on Chandrashila and Kuari Pass/Pangarchulla trek and initiated the discussion with Suman from Himalayan High. In our first discussion itself, he made us so comfortable and assured if the team is fit enough will be able to complete two treks (summits) one after the other. Suman was very active and quick on responding to all our queries and to finalize on our customized itinerary. His briefing on AMS and other risks and how to get acclimatized naturally without taking tabs like Diamox helped us. Also related content on their website is complete with all minute details. Based on our request, he even arranged for Montu Singh to be our trek leader who was just back from an expedition in Leh/Ladakh. What to tell about this Haryanvi guy. He is a true mountain lover and takes his job of a trek lead so seriously and with full passion but equally made us comfortable with his guidance throughout our trek. What a disciplined person who made us wake up on time every day. Will never forget his 6-7-8 time schedule which he reiterated every night :-) This review will not be complete without reference of the support staff (Govind our lead cook along with Yudhvir / Vikesh and also Deepak for the safe road journey from and to Rishikesh). All our camping locations, sleeping bags, tents and the hospitality was apt. We thought we would reduce our body weight with total ~60 km hiking but the staff made sure we don't with the delicious food starting with soup and ending with a sweet dish and a hot drink :-) Overall it was a great experience to complete the first ever high altitude treks with Himalayan High and would definitely choose them for our future treks for their professionalism and excellent service. I would recommend HH to those who like to customize the trek with small group size.

Beautiful trip with great time. It was my first time to explore in mountain. I really appreciate the ground team who care and inspire us to move on. Great support by our trek leader Mr Montu. He is really a nice guy and inspirational one..

Hello everyone, Summitting stok kangri for a trekker is really a dream, as it is highest trekkable Summit. For this himalayan high shows you path and direction. We the team of 5 departed for summit of stok kangri at an altitude of 6153m in July. After 3 days of acclimatization we started our trek. Meanwhile we met our guide Monto Bhaiya known as hitlar. Professionally he is really hitlar but soft heartened person. He confirmed our equipments and suggested not to take diamox and told that it's his responsibility to take you to summit until and unless your mind stops you. The trek started and continues via rumbak, mankorma (stok LA in between at 5000m)and stok base camp. Our kitchen staff dinesh, dipesh and all others were really supportive enough and they gave qualitative food like eggs specially that dessert and hot drink in the night which really required by body for summit. On the summit day packaged food was given that consist of dry fruits and energy bars. Monto Bhaiya really a perfect guide who never let you down and gives clear instructions that we will summit. Summit day was really tough as we have to crossed glaciers and then through shoulder we had to reach to summit. After continuous trek of 17 hrs 2 person of our team submitted stok kangri. Then on base camp we cut the cake prepared by our chef dipesh for victory. That was really surprising and different impression. Next day we departed to leh via stok Village. And here the trek ends happily. What I will say ultimately is that food was awesome Guidance by Monto Bhaiya really hats off Equipments provided by HHAT 👍 Ultimately Mr Suman who helped us for long time to prepare us for this trek.

Stok Kangri Summit Trek
SATISH VERMA, Private Service, Jaipur

I was initially a bit apprehensive in booking Himalayan high as their previous website was slightly outdated and lacked pictures and descriptions but once I spoke about the details on the phone with Suman, I really gained a lot of confidence and was very impressed with what they were offering. This was my first experience with Himalayan high and I did two back to back treks, Kang yatse 2 and stok kangri. Both my experiences were great, Montu Singh is a great trek leader and guide and the rest of the crew was fantastic! The most impressive aspect was actually the equipment which is in great condition, better than most rental houses in Leh city, infact NY snow boots were brand new and so were the harnesses and helmets. This is not the cheapest company but once you will trek with them you will know exactly where the money is going. Definitely I'm looking to do more treks with them in the future.

Despite awful weather, this trip was great and I'd like to do the hike again so that I can get all the views I missed out on! Our local guide, Ajay, was amazing, and the porters were all lovely. They taught me knife skills in the kitchen that I still use to this day, taught me how to make momos, and sang for us most amusingly on the last night. Absolutely wonderful people.

Thanks to Suman and our guide Montu Singh for putting up together a trek to Stok Kangri. Suman have been very helpful since the beginning and ensuring we are ready for the trek. Montu Singh is a great guide with very good mountain knowledge and takes care of us at all times.

Har Ki Dun Trek
Uma Desai, Private Service, Pune, Maharashtra

My first experience of a trek in the Himalayas was with Himalayan High.. and it couldn't have been better! Right from the trek guide Montu Singh to the local guide Mr Rawat to all the staff who accompanied us made sure that we had a wonderful experience and were dedicated to serving us in the best possible way. Har ki dun as a trek is moderately difficult and very apt for beginners. However it involves long stretches of walking and that can be tiring however the guides were immensely motivating. The trek itself is very scenic and beautiful and it is indeed the Valley of the Gods. If you are thinking of trekking in the Himalayas, you should not miss out this beautiful trek. And if you wish to do it, there is no better way to do it than with Himalayan High. I will continue to go on such beautiful Himalayan treks with them. Thank you Himalayan High for making my first trekking experience a special memory.

Hrithik Vachhani, Student, Valsad, Gujrat

A group of 12 persons - 3 from Vadodara, 3 from Valsad , 6 from Pune made a trek to Harki Dun @ Gadhwal region Through Himalayan High from 5th April to 13th April. Trek started from Sankri through magnificent valleys, rivers, streams, falls, jungles and remote villages. Breath taking Himalayas peaks covered with snow had kept us speechless. The arrangements made by Himalayan High was excellent. Camping was wonderful, food was suiting the situation, trek leader Montu was excellent, guide Jyotsingh was true guide and the cook, helpers were care taking. The organizer Suman was and is very much knowledgeable and excellent commander working in back hand. We had enjoyed every second of our trek and had fun @ Har ki Dun area with full snow deep to about feet! No more words to describe the journey. Had any one got chance, do it with HH for sure.

I have been to trek to Har ki Dun through Himalayan High. I have really loved the way, the tour has been arranged by Suman and his team. Despite being trek route in Himalaya and tent accommodation, they have arranged nice food, provided us clean warm sleeping bags and enough support staff to meet all our daily needs. I would love to do many more treks with Himalayan High in coming future. I wish all the best to Suman and his entire team. Regards Rohan Taware Managing Director Knots Forever

Chadar - Frozen River Trek
suresh jogani, Businessman, Mumbai

When I contacted Suman for Chadar trek this season, what appealed to me most was him listening to all my questions patiently and answering them all in best possible way, yet keeping the expectations realistic. Having done other Himalayan treks in the past and having heard quite a lot about Chadar trek's unique challenges, trust me I did have a lot of queries beginning from the trek leading, team size, to safety measures and trek equipment. At the beginning of the trek, Suman himself came down to check our personal trek necessities to make sure we had appropriate stuff. I found it quite useful given the extreme weather and terrain conditions of Chadar trek. On the trek itself, had a great experience. Our trek lead, Montu Singh is an able, courageous leader who was helpful and motivating. While most other groups trekking on the same dates as us, returned from sumo itself, we went to Tibb cave and attempted to go to Nerak as well (which we couldn't make unfortunately). But the credit of making that best attempt to help the team with its destination goes to him. I also liked that HH takes smaller groups, and not a big crowd. Food served on the trek was simply yummy, best I have ever had on any trek so far. Also the equipment like tents, sleeping bags were quite good which is very important on a trek with extreme cold condition.

1st I want to say our expedition of chadar trek was jabardast...😊.. If u want to explore max area with safety & good food then go with himalayan high. If HH cant go to last point, i dont think that any other agency can go ( on the same itinerary ). Last but not the least the full team including porters was very cordial... Memorable awesome chadar trek.☺

Chadar trek was my first ever trekking experience and Himalayan High ensured that it stays an awesome memory for ever. Suman is immensely passionate about the mountains, his energy and passion in this regard is infectious. Thanks Suman for the motivation. I highly appreciate Suman's organizing and co-ordination skills right from the start till the end of the expedition. Himalayan High is an assembly of very enthusiastic and hard working people, our trek leader Mr. Monty and trek guide Mr. Lapo were examples of it. Mr. Monty and Lapo are well trained people who are prompt at risk assessing and decision making. Also, the trek leader and trek guide ensured our safety and fun during the entire length of the trek, they kept giving us tips on tackling the biting cold of Zanskar Valley and on how to walk on it's treacherous ways. The porters and cooking staff was amazing, they made sure that we are comfortable, warm and well nourished during the trek. The entire crew of HH was cordial and prompt in serving us. HH equipment were of good and sturdy quality, our safety was guaranteed. Over all a very happy and content experience 😊 Kudos HH, keep up the good work!!!!

Chadar trek was one of my dreams, and thanks to 'Himalayan High', it came true. Suman-da, a true Himalayan Hero , helped us in every situation. Our flight to Ladakh got cancelled, so he prepared a new itinerary, and that too at no extra cost. There's care, ethics and professionalism in their approach. At some point during the trek the Chadar(frozen river) was broken. Potters didn't agree to go farther. Other parties started returning. And then comes Mr. Montu (our trek leader) who convinced and motivated the whole group to go ahead. His experience and knowledge about trekking saw us through three days of awesomeness safely. Mr. Lapu (local guide) was jolly and witty and always kept us entertained and moral of the group high. The cook and the potters served us all the necessities as much as humanly possible in such hostile territory. Food was good and other arrangements sufficient. Chadar trek is once in a lifetime experience which will stay like a nostalgia lurking around the corner of memory. But it is not for the faint hearted. Conditions test the human body to their limit. But who has ever stopped the adventurous ?

The Chadar Trek was my first ever trek and i had the time of my life !!! Mr Suman, who organised the trek cleared all my doubts before joining the trek. Was very encouraging and i could relate to his passion for trekking and his knowledge that convinced n impressed me most of all. Our trek leader Mr Montu, was extremely knowledgeable as well and he took charge when required and kept us motivated to complete our trek when we were in doubt !! He not only helped us when required but took care of us bunch of first timers,beyond his call of duty. I would definitely recommend Himalayan High to all my friends and make them go thru safe hands of these two individuals..!! Food and all other arrangements were excellent and beyond my expectations.. !! Even the porters were helpful n polite and willing to assist whenever required...what more could i say other than that they would be my first choice next time i trek..!! All the best to you guys n thank you for making my trip the most memorable one ever..!!

It was a wonderful experience with Himalayan high. Given the extremities of the Chadar trek, the entire team was very co- operative and catered to our needs in time (including pacifying our apprehension). Also, we are appreciative of Suman for being available to us at any time to help us prepare before before the trek. Great service over all. Keep it up.

Pooja Radia, Lawyer, Mumbai

It was the most humbling experience I have had in sometime... Himalayas invariably manage to do that... Chadar trek with Himalayan High: This was my first High altitude, one week long trek. I had a very good experience with the Himalayan High team. Here is the list of points where this team won me over. Positive 1 For me the biggest plus with Mr.Suman and his team is that they have a "no medicine" rule for precautions. They only ask us to keep medicine for emergency... if there is no alternative then only they would ask us to use medicines.. First night in Leh, I faced breathlessness and was really vary whether I'll be able to proceed with the trek. But the next morning, on hearing my issue, Suman encouraged me to continue that too without medicine. And here I am writing this review after comfortably completing the trek. Thank you Suman!! Positive2 Highly skilled team. They have a very good team. Have full knowledge of the terrain. They really give good support and guidance to any of your issues. Montu Singh and Lapu, fabulous job.. Positive 3 Their group size is small enabling every individual to get personal attention. Positive 4 They have a wonderful support staff. Food they serve is not just delicious but also varied. Of course they have a few negatives 1. The hotel in leh was pathetic.. but they have taken note of it and are not going to repeat the same place. 2. They are a little expensive than others but it's all covered thanks to their personal care and expertise in solving issues. All in all, it was a wonderful experience. Thank you Suman and team for making it one of the most memorable experience for me.

The overall trek experience was amazing. The quality and quantity of food provided was upto the mark. Providing 2 sleeping bags and woolen inner fleece was amazing for the winter. Though the quality of hotel provided in Leh was not upto the mark and heaters in the room were not working. I would love to recommend Himalayan High for any Himalayan expedition.

If you are looking for actual trekking and travelling experience, choose Himalayan High. They value the experience of the trekkers & adventure seekers more than anything and bring one closer to mother nature. They have strict policy of taking 10-15 people in one group which helps in more interaction and closeness in a team which is very different from other organisers who takes 30-50 people in a single group. Getting Gajar ka Halwa at 11154ft and Trek leader as Montu singh . What else you want ? ;)

Its rightly said " People make Places, Places don't make People". Thats what Himalayan High is all about. They made wild as comfortable a Home to us.

I promise with these 2 gentleman around you won't regret. Planning one more very soon with HH. All d best! N keep smiling!!! :)

I did the Goecha-la trek and could not be more satisfied with the Himalayan High team . Suman , who was always there to offer advice on pre-trek prep . Montu , who pulled off the toughest job of trek leader with absolute ease and Chayan , documenting the entire trip along with sharing his intricate knowledge of the Himalayas . Are you looking for small groups with personalized attention to your needs , do you prefer hot food rather than a packed lunch ? Would like the best equipment rather than 2nd rate stuff ? Himalayan High .. look no further !

Just fab! Coming all the way from South America, I had the good fortune to come across with this great company, and joined them for Sandakphu Phalut trek in Darjeeling region and then Goecha La in Sikkim. After some research I chose them because of their values (available on their website) and especially because of the welcoming and dedicated response I got from them. From both experiences I got the impression that their itineraries are carefully planned, being a bit longer than usual, which gives the chance for both good enjoyment and proper acclimatisation in high altitude treks. Their trek leaders Montu and Chayan are friendly, knowledgable and safety-oriented, making you feel confident in every moment. In Sandakphu Phalut, being a tea house trek, the trek leader always made sure that I was treated as a special guest, and when possible managed to avoid crowded home stays. He also made special emphasis on the cultural side, showing a vast knowledge of (and love for) Nepali culture. The local guide they chose was also very knowledgeable and friendly, always with a smile. As for Goecha La, from about one month prior to the trek, Suman did a great orientation job, providing lots of advise on all possible preparation issues. Camping stays were quite a luxury: efficient helpers, very good gear and excellent food cooked on the spot (they even managed to bake a bday cake for one of the trekkers at 4000 meters altitude!). The trek leaders monitored our health condition all the time, and did not doubt in making tough decisions when the safety of all the team was compromised. And most important of all: the they made all the possible efforts to take us safely all the way to Goecha La (the pass), rather than previous viewpoints. And to bring us safely back of course. I definitely recommend this company to anyone planning to visit the Himalayas.

My husband and I were keen to explore a little of the Himalayan mountains and were looking for a trek in Western Bengal. I found the Himalayan High website very helpful with full maps, gear lists, and explanations of each trek they offer. We decided to book the Sandakphu- Phalut trek with our own guide and porter. From the moment we booked and even prior to booking Himalayan High were prompt at answering all our questions which is important when booking from another country. Upon our arrival into Darjeeling we were immediately contacted by HH to check all our details and confirm pick up information. Day one we were met by our Guide and driver and we later collected our porter. Our guide Chayan was so passionate about the mountains, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about the whole area we were extremely lucky to have him guide us. Our porter was also very much part of our team and had a lot of local knowledge he shared with us. The trek itself was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole 6 days. It was magical up at Sandakphu seeing Mt Everest and Mt Lhotse/Mt Makalu and Mt Kanchenjungha (four of the five tallest peaks in the world) appear before our eyes at sunrise. A site we will never forget. I would highly recommend using Himalayan High for any trekking experience. - -- Jane & Keith Redding

During 9.24 to 10.7,with the help of Himalayan High ,our team finish the PIN PARVATI PASS TREK in INDIA Successfully.It is a very pleasant experience. Himalayan High team is a very responsible and professional team. For me ,It is the first high altitude walking .Before I go to INDIA , I'm worried about high altitude reaction.When I arrived in India, I started my hiking trip.All these worries are unnecessary. Montu Singh tests blood oxygen and pulse every day，and gives some advice based on our physical condition.Before we go across the 4000 meters above sea level. Montu Singh take us in advance to adapt to the 4000 meters above sea level,and then back to the low altitude rest. Himalayan High' service is also very good. Even before I came to INDIA , I was full of fear about the food in India. I thought I was going to get thinner.But In fact,I feel I'm fat after the hiking.Every day to provide a very rich breakfast,Convenient lunch,Afternoon tea(sometimes Including popcorn),dinner for our taste.When I come back to China, I miss breakfast and afternoon tea very much .Because I love Martha Lahti and Chapati they are prepared for us every day. Of course I have some advice.I think the first few days of walking is too easy,and it can be properly compressed.I think it's the best way to finish the hike for five days or so.There will be more time to experience the local village.Because hiking is a little bit longer.I am very sorry that I can't play with drifting and gliding in manali.

I had the experience on China and Nepal before,but I never think I can enjoy such a good service in India trekking.During the period of trekking, we had tea and snacks at afternoon! It seemed that we just went on vacation under the mountain. I don't know whether other companies have same services.I talked with some of them before starting. But Suman is the most patient and logical . It is easy to build trust with him. A experienced guide and organized manager! There is no choice except him！

I decided on a whim to go on a trek in India while I was working there for a few months. I reached out about a month before, and Suman replied with a few options for me. He responded very quickly to all of my emails and really smoothed the process along. The trek itself was amazing. On top of the convenience and service that Himalayan High provided, Montu, our guide, was very nice and helpful in all aspects. I would recommend this agency to anyone looking for a trek in Ladakh or Himachal! Thank you Suman, Montu, and Stanzin for making Stok Kangri an unforgettable experience!

My husband and I are very impressed with the experience we had at Markha Valley. This is our first time trekking overnight and we were unsure what to expect. The team at Himalayan High were professional in providing us information on what to expect when we arrive in Ladakh and how to prepare ourselves for the trip. During the trip, our guide, cook and horsemen was attentive and professional. Overall, we had an amazing time!

I searched ALOT of Indian trekking companies and something about this one really drew me in. It was first the fantastic communication and developing an experience individual to what I wanted or had time for. Later, during the trip, it became the amazing work ethic and attention to detail. I felt completely safe because that was always made priority before and during the trip. The sense of adventure and providing a true raw experience is clearly part of their mission. One of the best decisions of my life- to trek with Himalayan High!

Stok-Kangri summit: First of all thanks for Himalayan High! We really enjoyed our trek and we had 100% team success. There are more ways to get the summit. We had no enough time for trek before the summit so we decided to go via Rumbak. This route is a little longer, but I think it was a good decision because all of us acclimatized well enough for the summit and it is a really nice route via Stok La pass meanwhile many teams had problem because of high altitude. They provided us with all the information we needed from the beginning to the end of the trek. Special thanks for Montu, Lapu and Suman! I hope we’ll meet again in Ladakh! It was great. Tamas

The entire team at Himalayan High exemplified professionalism for the entire duration of our journey (climbing Stok Kangri). When we were deciding between tour outfitters, Suman was very communicative over Whatsapp while we figured out the details of the trip, which made planning very easy even though we were traveling in different parts of India at the time. He was responsive and helpful, customizing our trip to our needs. We didn't have cold weather gear or mountaineering boots with us, so Lapu (the local trip organizer in Leh) took us around the shops in Leh to help us get the appropriate clothing (buying some and renting some). He was knowledgeable about the clothing we needed and we had fun walking around Leh with him. The trip guides, Desel and Montu, were knowledgeable and professional, able to answer any questions we had and helpful for the entire duration of the trek. The porters were great too. We had tons of fun for the whole trek, and the summit day was spectacular -- not a cloud in the sky, so we climbed under a full moon. Climb Stok Kangri with Himalayan High!

Graduation completed on 2008, got attached with job and then with business, married on 2012, became a happy father on early 2015. Under this circumstances trekking for the first time was quite an enigma for me. But after scrutinizing the Himalayan High trekking itinerary for beginners, I decided for the Sandakhphu Phalut trek on December 2015. Believe me, I am not disappointed, on the other hand was cherished by the character of our trek leader, the lepcha home stays. Its all about to believe in yourself in a new dimension. I still remember the 25th December night in Gorkhey , the best X - mas night I have spend and will be in rest of my life.

Thank You Himalayan High for introducing me to the world of multi-day trekking at high altitude. It was an amazingly smooth 6 day long Kuari Pass Pangarchulla Trek and its all because of the efficient services you guys have provided in terms of food, stay, guide and last but not the least knowledge sharing about the terrain. The trek leader Mantu Singh was simply awesome. The sense of responsibility that guy showed during a sudden illness of one of the trekker in our group clearly depicts the professionalism and efficiency of your service. I will surely love to trek again with Himalayan High in future. The best thing about memories is making them and you guys have just made this memory so special to me. Thank a lot.

We had been given VIP treatment by the team of Team Leader-Chayan, Guide Anand with cook, porter, helper and 4 ponies. we enjoyed the trek with wonderful Himalayan Sights full of Jungles, Streams, Snow Clad Peaks and Bugyals. We were fed with lovely hot breakfast, lunches, evening teas, dinner in our Tented accommodation. We thoroughly enjoyed the untouched trek!

Most of us were on our first trek and still we could finish the entire trek within 2.5 days. Our team at the end was elated in soul with no or minimal aches in the body.

I had been to Sandakphu-Phalut trek with Himalayan High.It was my first Himalayan trek.It was a very beautiful trek!!! We Could see all the peaks. Go in dec-jan time. The trek was very well organised and the helpers and the guide were very friendly and were very familiar with the places,routes and the surrounding peaks. Cheers to Himalayan high :D One thing I really liked about the trek is that we had a small group of 5 people. I personally feel small groups are good for trekking instead of 20+ people. All 5 of us had a really good fun and we still stay in touch with each other. I made new friends in this trek :)

One of the most thrilling experience of my life. It's extremely cold at night in the month of December . It feels like temperature can be way below what your actual readings. At juda ka talab and kk base camp it was around - 10 (min temp). After midnigjt thete was no water in normal water bottles everything was frozen. But don't worry it will not affect you. U can enjoy in bonfires. This was my 3rd Himalayan trek after triund and chopta chandrashila. Once you reach the Kedarkantha base, look out for white peaks that stretch. Bandarpoonch, Swargarohini, Kala Nag and Ranglana stand among the others. Overnight stay at juda ka talab and kk base camp was amazing experience. We enjoyed a lot. And food provided by himalayan high was tje best one can have in that area. Thanks mr suman chowdhary for surprise of gazar ka halwa and rasgullas. In short this trek will be a good experience. In winter temp is very low but there will be absolutely no problem. Suggestions: Suggestions for trekkers : go by itinerary provided by trek guide. Drink more and more water during your trekking to avoid any kind of sickness mainly headache. Enjoy your trek as much as possible. Follow the rules described nh your trek leader.

The trek was beautyful with nature at its best. The landscape looked as if it were from one of those Hollywood fairytale movie set! It my first snow trek and it was a spellbinding experience. The best part of the trek was the summit climb. It offered bit size challenges that any tough trek should give you like walking on ridges with fairly strong head winds and few stretches of steep climb. Though the trek has an easy tag on it, summit climb was bit challenging and that could be because we started the day of summit from JKT and skipped camping at KK base before summit climb which is the usual itinerary. The next best thing of this trek was the food offered by himalayan high team! Simply delicious... The good food and cozy sleeping bags eased off the exhaustion at the end of each day. It is a must do trek for any nature lover and thrill seeker.

A very professionally conducted and extremely informative trek. The competence and leadership qualities of Trek leader and guide surpass all expectations. Going on a trek like this made us realize the charisma and unsurpassed beauty of the Himalayas, far from the Hullabaloo of the city. Returned a quite different person. Kudos to team Himalayan High for their initiatives and good work. Looking forward to more such escapades in d future.

It was great experience having done my trek with Himalayan high for kang yatse. Few points to talk about the experience Hotel stay in Leh: it was superb homestay in Leh with good food( little expensive though) Arrangements: all the arrangements done were good considering our group size. The equipments, tempo travel from Leh to starting point and return , porters carrying our bags , tents, sleeping bags for subzero, kitchen tent was superb with chairs , Safety : they gave importance to safety , we had all the equipment required for summit push like ice axe , snow boots , ropes , crampons. Food: It was good and lots of variety in dinner Guides: Montu and Rajeev were helpful and approachable. They taken care of us from the time we landed in Leh . Improvement things 1) packaged lunch would have been better and little more since everyday it was long trek 2) summit plan would have been handled better specially the local guide who has come was not up to the mark Recommendations I recommend this trek and Himalayan high to anyone who is interested to do pure high climbs in Himalaya.

First of all would like to thank Suman and his team, Montu Singh and Lapu for their leadership and guidance before and during the trek. Suman had been talking to us 4 months before the trek. He was very patient and detailed in his instructions about things to carry, how to prepare for the trek, etc. Montu Singh was a fantastic trek leader, bearing with us ;) being patient and then assertive at times when he was required to be. The food thru the trek was excellent (quality and quantity) to keep us going in the harsh temperatures. Overall I was very happy with the trek organization, that made us experience the beauty of the frozen Zanskar river!!

Hi. I have trekked Kedarkantha peak during the last week of Dec with Himalayan High. It was the first time for me in high altitude treks. And HH made it even more perfect. The guide was really understanding and helping. We were able to explore the rawness of the Mountains. On a leisure evening after trek, our guide made us make bonfire on our own. And yeah we did it. It was a life time experience. I'm inspired and happy. Not to forget mentioning, the Food was AMAZING, every single time. Thank you Suman and team ;)

A trekking experience is not always just about the location, the sights. It is actually much more & that is what Himalayan High taught me when I did the Markha Valley trek with them. Making the decision with them and having them professionally look out in pre-trek essentials, reminders and tips does put me feeling at ease and understanding more on the challenges and risks prior to the adventure. They constantly make sure you are looked after and have the best intentions and interest to ensure you have an unforgettable yet safe experience. Never regretted making the decision with them and will look forward to having my next adventure with them when possible. It is not always looking out for the cheapest deal but how well you are looked after in an adventure. If you think alike, I recommend you to consider checking them out

I have undertaken two trips with Himalayan High, last year in ladakh and this year in uttrakhand. Me and my friends are self acclaimed travelers and not tourist. We like adventure, breaking our bodies and discovering places, Himalayan high kept all this in mind and created an itinerary for us. Both the times our guides were excellent who let us venture out, of course safe precautions were mandatorily taken care. Overall both the trips were amazing, I keep on revisiting them through the pictures and Himalayan High made the memories sweeter. I would highly recommend everyone to try out one trek with HH and then your association will continue with them, as is the case with me :-). Best!!!

This was must 2nd Himalayan trek and really enjoyed this one to the fullest. Himalayan high had it planned very well, with accommodation food and other facilities planned perfectly. Also they gave the trek leader enough flexibility to take some decisions on the spot ( like staying at All than at crowded Sandakphu) , which made this trek more custom and unique. Also the trek leader, Titash was a multi talented guy, with a great voice, better fingers on guitar and friendly nature. Surly will ask for him to be the leader for any future trek we take. The whole group of 5 trekkers, leader, guide and porter was very friendly and helpful in every stage of the trek.

Hi guys Jullay. Everything about the entire trip was just amazing. Of course, like every adventure or expedition in life, there are few observations. I will sit along with Aditya and apprise you of the same. Thanks to your planning, foresight and patience of the guide ( Paldang), two of us ( Self and Hari Om) summitted Stok Kangri on 9th morning, Aditya reached almost the shoulder. And all three of us completed the 72 km Khardung La ultra without any hiccups or injuries. Would surely join you for the higher and tougher expeditions in future. Would be nice if you could give us some kind of certificates for the summit.

With so many random trekking companies now undertaking treks all across the Himalayas, it was difficult to choose one when I decided to explore the Chadar Trek. I chanced upon Himalayan High through a friend's recommendation & decided to just go with them without second thoughts as everything else online was quite confusing. With the weather going awry during our trek, we couldn't manage to reach till the end at Neruk Village(a tad disappointing). But whatever we did manage to explore was Superlative. The 3 stars are specially for their Team during the trek. The Trek Leader, the Porters, the Cook & the Accompaniments (everyone was just amazing & did their job Brilliantly & they were indeed a good bunch of people to be around with & share laughter) The 1 Star less is for the Accommodation provided in Leh. It was strictly mediocre for the price they were charging. Yes, we were there in extreme winter time. But they couldn't even manage to provide a decent Heater system which was the need of the hour. Nor Hot Water at our convenience.The Breakfast, compared to the amazing spread of dishes we used to get while on the trek, was absolutely stale.(Himalayan High did accept this blotch & maybe they will check other options available in the future) The 2nd Star less is strictly being a bit selfish. We weren't allowed to take a dip in the frozen Zanskar River, while many were doing it. The Trek leader should keep everyone motivated & plan things accordingly. Understand, their concern for our health & safety. But when we saw trekkers from other trek companies proceeding ahead rather than being stuck in one place,we wished our leader would have acted quick on the scenario & made sure we were able to complete the whole trek. We wasted a whole day on the 2nd Campsite while others were proceeding further. It's one of those treks with a lot of uncertainties. You can't opt to choose to do it again for things you missed out on in the first place. We had a fabulous time for everything we did manage to explore. Suman Chowdhary of Himalayan High was available through the whole planning process spanning months answering to our queries & providing assistance for other things not related on their itinerary, like arranging a ride to Pangong Tso & many more. Yes.. I would definitely think about choosing Himalayan High again in some future treks I might undertake.. But I'll make sure, I get my priorities & needs sorted. Cheers

Facilities - 5 star I liked the facilities provided during trek, seven days including food, tent, very accommodating staff and equipment. The hotel provided for accommodation were I stayed had no basic facilities including hot water. The team needs to look into better facilities for accommodating in Leh. Trek: 3 star I had come to trek prepared, which was the crux of the trip and test my endurance. I had given my time money and taken risk of leaving family back home. We had all chances of going to Nerak but team lead gave up on all opportunities for me to complete the expedition and return satisfied. I hardly trekked through 7 days.. Day 1- getting acclimatized. Hardly any walk Day 2 - 4 hours of walk, team lead knew weather conditions, it was going to snow but still did not take us further, when we could have easily trekked to next stop and he showed no intention of Nerak. Day 3- all day snow no trek. Day 4 - We had to force the team to take us further for next places, we walked for 2 hours. We could have easily camped at Tibb caves , but team lead did not want because he had an agreement with porters and did not to move further due to agreement. Day 5 - only day I felt I was trekking it started at 8:30 and ended at 6:30 Day 6 and 7 - 2 hours of walk. If I had to stay comfortable, I would not have taken this risk of coming to Chadar. I am not satisfied, as I could not see Nerak, when there was all possibilities to reach Nerak the main objective of the trek. My advice: it is important for trek leaders to understand both porters and customer. I had come from so far, missed the crux of trekking and complete the expedition. Overall a good experience.

Rajith Narasimhaiah, Private Service, Bangalore

We were a group of 8 for the November 2016 Goechala trek, an ideal number that ensured we received personal attention whenever required. The age group ranged from that of my son, 25 yrs, to myself at 57 yrs. At the outset I would like to give a thumbs up to a couple of things .. 1. The very prompt communication attending to all enquiries and advice given via the internet, and subsequently in person once the team had assembled. 2. The constant watchful care of the trek leader, Montu Singh, who not only monitored our physical well being every evening, but also kept vigil throughout the day. There is just one word that describes him .. amazing ! The food was very good, they even baked a cake for my birthday at Lamuney ! However, what was very, very disappointing (and a big surprise considering what we had become used to) was the food served on the main summit day. That day of all days should have been special but turned out to be the opposite. After refreshments at 2:30 am the trek started. Later in the morning a light packed snack sufficed. Expectations were that on returning back to camp at Lamuney everyone would indulge in a good, wholesome, hot meal after such a long and strenuous climb to the summit. Sadly, all that was served was Phale, something akin to a large samosa stuffed with grated cabbage and carrot, and plain parathas with nothing to eat it with. Later, even the dinner was late because while the team had reached Kokchurong, the yaks transporting the tents and kitchen items took much longer to arrive. It was a long, cold, hungry wait. Another big disappointment was that on the last day of the trek, it seemed that the porters were no longer careful with the handling of the bags being transported, the bags were being thrown on the ground, the center support strap of my bag had been removed, and on reaching Yuksom when I opened my duffel to do my packing that evening I discovered it had been torn in the bottom with numerous holes all around. My suggestions to Himalayan High .. 1. Please ensure extra care is taken to provide an adequate meal after the summit climb 2. Please provide duffel bags for clients to offload their things into so that they can return to pack their things into their own bags which will be safe from ruin. Hope this feedback helps in an improvement in your services which was, overall, good.
