This was a really great trek. We got the chance to see Ganges and Alaknanda river while travelling from Haridwar and Rishikesh. Our trek was stared on 2nd day and we got to see the amazing sights of Nanda Devi which is India second highest peak. The trekking experience was fun despite being tedious. Apart from the weather, the trek was indeed an enjoyable experience. Everything was well arranged from transportation to food. Would love to go for more treks in Himalayan region.

the most difficult trek of all time for me. The himalayan terrain is too difficult to trek. so if you are going for the first time for trekking, i would recommend that you go on some of the normal treks and then try this one. But it is one unforgettable trek I had. really had a chilling and amazing time.

We started from Haridwar where our pickup was ready. After crossing Rishikesh we reached our destination. We stayed in a decent lodge and I was mesmerized by the snow caped views of Himalayas. Next day we trekked to a beautiful village and reaches Auli. In Auli we went for the cable car ride and reached top point of our trek. Cable Car experience was amazing as we can see the snow covered mountains from the top. We trekked for 3 days and passed some of the beautiful and remote villages. Food was ok and iur guide give attention to every member of the group. This was first group trek and would recommend others this trek. Thanks for amazing trip.

Had an amazing experience. All around me was just snow and nothing. Though they have the fixed trails, but because of the high quantity of snow, it was very difficult to find out the trails as everything was covered with snow. But we really enjoyed alot. The food was very delicious during the trek. I recommend that you carry alot of woolen clothes on trek.

Very cold and chilling atmosphere. It was all snow around us. Please carry alot of woolen clothes and good quality shoes with you during the trek because the terrain is so rough and you would require quality shoes with you.

I had a good time But people please listen: If you have any kind of respiratory problem, please avoid the trek as the oxygen level gets really low in some places. With us there was an asthmatic patient. He got ill during the trek and had to be sent back to the base camp. So, if you have any respiratory problem and are coming for the trek, get yourself check by the doctor and then come.

It is very difficult trek people. So, I would recommend that you go on a few normal to diffucult treks and then try this. Climbing on snowy mountains is not everyone's cup of tea.

Amazing trek. It was the toughest trek of my life ever. I am going on treks from past two years and have explored almost all of the India. but this was my experience in the Himalayas. REally difficult one. But loved it a lot and I am happy that I could complete it.
