Himalayan Treks, Planned Around Your Health
From easy village walks to classic overnight treks such as Triund, with trained local guides, the right pace for altitude, and your doctor’s approval first.
The Himalayas begin a few hours from Chandigarh. A trek can be the best part of a visit, but altitude and effort matter, especially after treatment. We plan every trek around your health, not the other way round.
A Few Well-Loved Routes
- Village and forest walksEasy half-day walks near Dharamshala, Palampur and Shimla. Good for most guests.
- Prashar LakeA lake at about 2,730 m in Mandi district, reached by road and a short climb. Moderate.
- TriundA ridge at about 2,850 m above McLeod Ganj, Kangra district. A full day up; many stay overnight. Moderate to demanding.
- Higher passesMulti-day treks above 3,000 m, for fit, experienced trekkers only.
Altitude, in Plain Words
According to the US CDC, anyone sleeping at about 2,450 m or higher without acclimatising can get altitude sickness. Above 3,000 m, sleeping altitude should rise by no more than about 500 m a night. Headache with nausea, dizziness or unusual tiredness means stop climbing; going down at least 300 m usually helps.
Ask Your Doctor First If…
- you have had surgery, chemotherapy or a hospital stay recently
- you have heart or lung disease, sleep apnoea or sickle cell disease
- you are pregnant (the CDC advises against sleeping above 3,050 m)
- you have had a heart attack or stroke in the last 90 days: high altitude is not advised
What We Arrange
- Trained local guides who know first aid and the weather
- Porters, permits, transport and homestays
- Travel insurance that covers trekking at your planned altitude
- A gentle alternative day if you are not feeling well
