Stok Kangri - Golep Kangri - Kang Yatse 2

I did the dual Summit of Golep and Stok Kangri this past summer and wow, what an experience it was! Every single support staff were excellent. Great attitudes, mental toughness, and food. They also provide very safe equipment (harness, helmet, etc..) They treat you like family, very reasonable with setup, and when my trekking partner was having trouble withdrawing money - they trusted him to pay once he was back in Delhi. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reasonably priced, safe trip trekking in the Himalayas. The one other thing I wanted to mention is that high altitude trekking is no joke - so be mentally prepared to train and accept the risk (the summit is only half way). Be safe and have fun! Chad

Stok-Kangri summit: First of all thanks for Himalayan High! We really enjoyed our trek and we had 100% team success. There are more ways to get the summit. We had no enough time for trek before the summit so we decided to go via Rumbak. This route is a little longer, but I think it was a good decision because all of us acclimatized well enough for the summit and it is a really nice route via Stok La pass meanwhile many teams had problem because of high altitude. They provided us with all the information we needed from the beginning to the end of the trek. Special thanks for Montu, Lapu and Suman! I hope we’ll meet again in Ladakh! It was great. Tamas

Hello everyone, Summitting stok kangri for a trekker is really a dream, as it is highest trekkable Summit. For this himalayan high shows you path and direction. We the team of 5 departed for summit of stok kangri at an altitude of 6153m in July. After 3 days of acclimatization we started our trek. Meanwhile we met our guide Monto Bhaiya known as hitlar. Professionally he is really hitlar but soft heartened person. He confirmed our equipments and suggested not to take diamox and told that it's his responsibility to take you to summit until and unless your mind stops you. The trek started and continues via rumbak, mankorma (stok LA in between at 5000m)and stok base camp. Our kitchen staff dinesh, dipesh and all others were really supportive enough and they gave qualitative food like eggs specially that dessert and hot drink in the night which really required by body for summit. On the summit day packaged food was given that consist of dry fruits and energy bars. Monto Bhaiya really a perfect guide who never let you down and gives clear instructions that we will summit. Summit day was really tough as we have to crossed glaciers and then through shoulder we had to reach to summit. After continuous trek of 17 hrs 2 person of our team submitted stok kangri. Then on base camp we cut the cake prepared by our chef dipesh for victory. That was really surprising and different impression. Next day we departed to leh via stok Village. And here the trek ends happily. What I will say ultimately is that food was awesome Guidance by Monto Bhaiya really hats off Equipments provided by HHAT 👍 Ultimately Mr Suman who helped us for long time to prepare us for this trek.

I can't speak highly enough about my experience with Himalayan High. My wife and I wanted to do the Har Ki Dun trek but didn't want to be part of one of the many larger trips most trekking companies plan. I reached out to Himalayan High about the "self guided option" they listed on their website and ended up getting a totally bespoke trip for just my wife and I. Planning and communication was excellent leading up to the trip ( thanks Suman!) and our guides (required in a national park) were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, not to mention great cooks. We are already thinking about our next Himalayan trek and will definitely be working with Himalayan High.

We did a recent Sandakphu trek with Hinalayan High. Few months before the trip, inquiries made to the company were promptly replied by Mr Suman. He also offered different options that would fit our fitness level and schedule. Our many questions and concerns were addressed to enable us to decide on the itinerary that suited us. There was also transparency in the costs and added fees. We opted for private trek so that we could go at our own pace. The lodging arrangements were made with our needs taken into consideration. (We preferred private rooms, being both ladies). While we did not expect 3-4* star hotel accommodations, the rooms were comfortable enough with sufficient blankets to keep us warm at night. We were prepared for shared bathroom facilities in a couple of homestays, having experienced so in previous treks. Due to health issues, we were not able to do the original long trek. But in exchange, our altered trek itinerary gave us unexpected blessings, additional day at Sandakphu to marvel at the scenery and catch glimpse of Everest on clear mornings. The alternative trek led us to a relatively new and clean Homestay with ensuite rooms down at Gurdum. It was situated at a picturesque spot with sunrise view from our room. There was even hot water available for a good bath after few days of trek. What luxury! Food by the homestay host was also delicious - fried noodles, and dumplings, with their home-made chilli paste. The stay was so wonderful that we chose to stay an additional day. It certainly exceeded our expectations. We are thankful to our guide, G.D. for his thoughtfulness. He prioritised our safety, ensured that we were comfortable and well fed. Mr Raju of the trekking company also checked in on us a few times to ensure that we were alright especially at Sandakphu. We are also grateful in the quick adaptation of itinerary to make the trek more manageable for us. We had a good laugh when we learnt from other trekkers further on the route that they had heard about the group who had to alter trek route due to health reasons....how news passed, but also shows the connectedness of the trekking community in that area. What we also enjoyed were the opportunities to get to know the people and hear about the history of the places we visited. Their love for the land and passion in what they do certainly came through in the conversations with G.D. and Mr Suman. Will certainly recommend Himalayan High to my friends.

We had an unforgettable experience trekking in Sikkim with Himalayan High!! From start to finish, everything was impeccably organized, and each member of the team went above and beyond to make our journey up to Dzongri La truly memorable. Special thanks to Suman, the organizer, for ensuring that every detail was thought through, and to our trek leaders Raju and Durga, whose expertise, warmth, and patience made us feel safe and cared for every step of the way. The entire support team was fantastic – cook Raj, assistant cook Anand, and our Yak guy Pemba. They all added to the experience in meaningful ways. A huge highlight was the food, which was consistently delicious and energizing – it played a big part in keeping our spirits high throughout the trek. We were honestly amazed by the quality and variety, especially given the remote mountain setting. Overall, this team was professional, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to making sure we had an amazing time. We wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone looking to explore the beauty of the Himalayas. We’re already looking forward to our next trek with them!
