☆☆☆☆

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.

Every day I keep learning new things, but as of now, I think I can describe myself as a Loyal Himalayan Lover, Avid Trekker, Student Of Mountaineering, Amateur Photographer and an Enthusiastic Anthropologist. I am a Computer Science Engineer by education and previously worked as a Software Developer for premium IT companies. However, I quit the luxury of a high-earning corporate job and left behind the herd to walk towards the spiritual path laid down by the Godly Himalayas. At the age of 27 with no savings at all and being the only son from a lower-middle-class family, it was too young to fight against the family who in turn had to fight against the rules laid down by society. However, with my determination and perseverance, everything became smooth by passing time.

It wasn't easy for me as I learnt the hard way from mistakes - my own and by observing others. I fought 2 major road accidents that broke my right tibia and femur. I underwent 7 surgeries that kept me away from the mountains, but I patiently fought them all to get back to trekking again in the Himalayas with rods and plates in my bones. Despite doctors saying I cannot walk properly ever again to getting back to trekking on the difficult routes again, Life made me understand very clearly what it wants out of me in this World. It wants me to serve the Himalayas and its community, live a peaceful, content and simple life. That's what I have dedicated my this life to. I am not religious, but spiritual. The Himalayas define my road.

The Himalayas today is spammed by mushrooming trek agencies and big companies who take pride in being India's Largest, biggest, oldest, etc. They are exploiting everything for the sake of profit. It is in dire need of regulation by credible Government authorities, Sustainable Tourism Practices needs to be forced upon every organisation, Small Group Sizes needs to be mandated, Fixed camping should be restricted in alpine zones and Negative Ecological Impact Trekking Protocols should be laid down immediately by governing bodies. With all these objectives, I founded Himalayan High in the year 2015. Learn more about Himalayan High on About Himalayan High
