in our expertise whenever they had chance to visit India. The list of the famous explorers is

unending. Apart from handling treks and expeditions for TV Channel's like Discovery and Sony, we

uncompromisingly high expectations from them. Our dedicated team of Mountain Guides are

well educated and fully trained in their respective areas of work. They have undergone extensive

training in mountaineering, first-aid, rescue and scaled peaks in Himalayas. With their wealth of

We have offered a number of trekking programs in our brochure in the various parts of Indian

Himalayas, from Ladakh to Arunachal and Nagaland We have tried our best to see that all

important trekking routes are covered in these programs. Every year we keep adding new

destinations, new concepts and new combination to make the product more and more

interesting.

Safaris and other programs

Apart from overland Jeep Safaris in different part of the Himalayas and desert region, you also

have an opportunity to do sailing, bicycling, wildlife and many other adventure tours.

Cultural Experience

We make all efforts to see that you have an opportunity to interact with the local people, visit their

houses and to experience their culture and traditions in their homeland. Whenever possible we

organize cultural programs in the evening where you will have an opportunity to enjoy and

participate in folk dance and music. You can also teach the local people one of your own
