QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Everything You Need To Know

We understand you may have concerns before embarking on your Himalayan adventure. Here are answers to your most important questions.

Do I need to be super fit to join these treks?

Our treks accommodate various fitness levels. Valley of Flowers and Auli trips are suitable for beginners with moderate fitness, while Kuari Pass requires better conditioning. We provide a pre-trek fitness guide before departure, and our gradual acclimatization approach makes these adventures accessible to most reasonably fit people.

What about altitude sickness?

We take altitude sickness very seriously. Our itineraries include proper acclimatization time, and guides are trained to recognize symptoms early. We carry emergency oxygen and medication, and our routes enable quick descent if necessary. Safety briefings include hydration and pacing guidelines to minimize risk.

What's the best time for these treks?

Valley of Flowers is best from mid-July to mid-September when flowers are in full bloom. Kuari Pass is excellent from April to June and September to November, with a special winter trek option in December-January. Badrinath and Auli can be visited year-round except during heavy winter months (late December to February).

What about toilet facilities on the trek?

We provide clean toilet tents at all camping sites with proper sanitation protocols. Guesthouses have attached or nearby toilet facilities. On trekking routes, we practice Leave No Trace principles and guides will advise on appropriate natural toilet etiquette with biodegradable toilet paper provided.

Can I join as a solo traveler?

Absolutely! About 60% of our trekkers are solo travelers. You'll be paired with another solo traveler of the same gender in accommodations (single supplements available). Our small groups and community-focused approach help solo travelers quickly form connections with like-minded adventurers.

What gear do I need to bring?

We provide a detailed packing list after booking. Essential items include good hiking boots, layered clothing, a quality backpack, and personal medications. We provide specialized equipment like trekking poles and sleeping bags, and can recommend local shops for any last-minute gear purchases.

Is there electricity and mobile network?

Most guesthouses have electricity, though outages can occur. Mobile connectivity varies—reliable in towns but limited on trails. We carry satellite phones for emergencies, and the digital detox is often mentioned as a highlight by our trekkers!

What's your cancellation policy?

We understand plans change. Cancellations 60+ days before departure receive a 90% refund, 30-59 days receive 70%, and 15-29 days receive 50%. We offer free date changes up to 30 days before departure (subject to availability), and our optional trek insurance covers cancellations due to medical emergencies.
