DoN't Just Trek !! LIVE IT

The motive behind Himalayan High is to take people to experience the Himalayas through activity-based adventurous activities like Trekking, Mountaineering, Biking, Heritage and Leisure traveling, etc. Apart from knowing the mountains, appreciating her geographical presence, beauty, etc. we also need to experience other important aspects of the Himalayas, like  exchanging knowledge with and knowing the local people better who actually dwell in it and learn how the Himalayas have shaped their outlook making them stronger, understanding and enjoying their culture and way of life, relishing their local delicacies, building a bond not just with the place, but also its people and develop an environment of mutual respect for each other. 

In all these processes to experience or enjoy the Himalayas, we must never forget that nature is very fragile, and Low-Impact, Sustainable, and Responsible Tourism is the only way forward. We at Himalayan High are ethically-driven trained mountaineers who consider the Himalayas Godly and are motivated to change the spirit of trekking in India, which is currently maltreated by other big organizers for profit, spammed by wannabes, faked by Bollywood, and dominated by the desire to achieve a trek, rather than living a trek.

How Are We Different?

• We practice Low-Impact, Sustainable, Minimalistic, and Responsible Tourism working and preaching about the conservation of natural resources of the Himalayas and contributing to the development of the local micro-economy. Most importantly, I would like to say here that we don't want to be different in this regards. We rather want all the organizations working in this domain, whose activities directly impact the Natural Environment to be thinking alike. Not that there aren't any other company thinking alike. There are, but very few. 
• I am a trained and certified student of Mountaineering from premium mountaineering institutes in India and an Incredible India certified guide. I have worked in the Himalayas for over 8 years and been trekking for over 15 years in the Himalayas. Growing up in the Himalayas adds to my experiences as well. I have learned the hard way and from my mistakes. Mistakes give you experience and my experiences and network of hard-working honest locals in the Himalayas will certainly help make a better and easier trek experience for you. 
• Himalayan High has been running good right from its opening in April 2015 till date and we have served many clients both Domestic and International with great satisfaction. But that doesn't mean that I am a settled guy and now it's just about sitting on the office chair and earning money. I had been and will be trekking and going higher and deeper into the Himalayas. I am a trekker myself and I will keep trekking and leading our clients deeper and higher in the Himalayas. My team's experiences and outlook towards the Himalayas are certainly different and this will definitely impact anyone who treks with us.
• Through Himalayan High, my focus is to give you the best experience of the Himalayas, but as we all know, venturing into the Himalayas for some real adventures like trekking and mountaineering involves a lot of planning, logistical and professional help. I take off all the pain involved in planning an expedition, gathering logistical and professional support with my expertise, experience, and network of trustworthy local personnel so that you can focus just on the trekking and your personal preparations.
• We trek in very small groups and trekking in smaller groups makes our team special. It adds much to our trek experience, ambience, solitude and serenity. It gives us the flexibility to modify our itinerary according to the weather and other emergencies. It makes our team much stronger and safer as we are not let down by weak members of a large team. It allows us to invest in good quality equipment of the highest standards and add to our comfort and privacy during the trek. 
• I consider myself, all our staff, and trekkers as a Loyal Ambassador of the Himalayas and preach Responsible, Minimalistic, and Sustainable Low-Impact Trekking in the Himalayas. Given the current scenario of Environmental Degradation, Climate Change and Global Warming, I consider this as the most important policy that all of us should follow. Sadly, over 90% of the companies out there don't follow it and even trekkers consider trekking in large groups because that reduces the cost. However, we believe that travelling should not cause you to feel guilty of unnecessary exploitation of Mother Nature, later on. Hence you should choose wisely whom to trek with.
• Unlike other big companies operating from corporate offices in the cities, with Himalayan High, I myself go on the trek, leading my groups almost 90% of the time. I do this because I enjoy doing it and more so because I love meeting new people and trekking with them. Repeating the same trek is never boring for me because of the new dimension which new people bring. It's all about the combination of energies you see and the resultant energy makes each trek a different and enriching experience helping me grow as a person.
• I offer quality, hard-word and trust-building. The quality and expertise of my operational capability have been used by some big trek organizing companies in our country and I have benefited them huge, not only in terms of profit but also in setting up workflows and transparent processes, un-messed complications, increased trust amongst the local resources, and increase their goodwill amongst the locals who actually mattered, because ultimately it is their effort that makes a trek look cool. Can you believe that India's largest trekking organization operated without any paperwork with the locals and worked amidst an environment of chaos, mistrust, loot and dishonesty? I could have worked more, but we parted ways for continuous Moral Breaches below my dignity and Ethical Differences of working in the Himalayas. I have a compassionate heart and could not think like a businessman maybe. Most importantly, money is a very small thing for me to make me change the way I am or harm someone else.
• I feel proud that with Himalayan High I am making a difference. Companies who used to trek with 35 - 50 trekkers are now advertising below 25 trekkers on their website. Though actually on the ground they take 30+ team members, but who judges you when you serve biryanis and samosas on a trek! We don't, because Biryani or samosa is not the local food in the mountains.
• I prioritize medical safety and emergency evacuation strategies. I put all of my previous experiences firstly to prevent it, and then if anyhow there's an incident on the trek, I have the experience to handle it better. Huge planning and logistics are required in safeguarding the team's Physical and Medical Safety. Emergencies on any adventure are something that always needs to be given priority and handling of those delicate situations needs even better planning, experience, and capability to handle the crisis at that very moment. It is for this very reason that on Himalayan High operated treks right from its inception, there have been zero casualties. Not even a mere case of twisted-ankle has happened in our groups for the strict rules and protocols that we follow, whereas we keep hearing about the bad stories of mismanagement, fatal injuries and even deaths, coming from the Himalayan treks every year. Mostly these come from big and popular operators in our country, and India's Largest Trek Company lead them. Their trekker dies even on a simple trek like Kedarkantha or the easiest trek in the Western Ghats.
• I bring with me a selected team of experts from the field with lots of practical experiences in handling a Himalayan Journey. They are hardworking, honest and very professional. Unlike others, you won't find our staffs irritating you for extra tips or other unprofessional activities. Lots of trekkers from all over the world have used our services to gift themselves memorable trek experiences to keep with them for their lifetime.
• I look forward to taking care of not only your Logistical and Professional requirements but also see to it that we give you MORE in form of what you witness and what you take back as your experiences of the Himalayas. Everything cannot be written but have to be experienced or heard from our past trekkers who used our services in the past.
• Word Of Mouth is our only marketing strategy. Unlike other companies, we do not have a social media manager, marketing or sales department. We focus on delivering what we promise and then rely on customer feedback and referrals to grow Himalayan High. I and my team are crazy in love with the Godly Himalayas, and the same Himalayas teaches us to be humble, sincere, hardworking and honest. 
• We mean Quality, Safety, Comfort, Inspiration, and trust. We have great reviews to showcase that and most importantly, we keep our reviews boldly and transparently on Google, unlike others who keep it on their own website and highlight only the positive reviews. You may please read about us on Google Reviews. Just type in Himalayan High on Google and read the reviews. How many companies have kept their review live on Google?
• Your money is safe with us. There are many of our trekkers who still have their money safe with us for future use - both Domestic and International. There have been many incidences when I myself enquired with our trekkers in the event of NO SHOW and I kept their money safe on learning that the cause of the event was due to some mishap beyond their control. We do learn about many bad experiences and forfeited money caused by businesses showing their hidden policies.
• Finally, unlike big businesses and corporates, I am a 1 MANY ARMY in my office. I have a team of trusted local resources to work with me on the trek. Though a private limited company, we are not corporate. It's a One Person Company. I work on all the aspects of Himalayan High from accounting to auditing to tax filing. From answering customer calls to WhatsApp enquiries and email. From writing content on this website to maintaining the Server. From coding new features on the website to managing whatever SEO upliftment I can get for it. From planning my schedule to preparing for the trek. From leading a trek to requesting reviews after the trek completion. Everything! And I love it so much. I never feel stressed. That does happen to you if you are living a life of your passion and love what you do.

Come - Ditch the big companies and large groups. Together, let us feel The Himalayan High !!
