How safe is it , in regards to COVID-19 ?
Here is our 8 point checklist that we follow on all our trips :
- Our trippers will be asked to get -ve RTpcr certificate before they arrive.
- You will staying at a hotel where we are the only guests. its more like a guesthouse.
- Your tempo traveller will be sanitised before it reaches you.
- Your driver is also tested -ve RTpcr before our trip starts.
- We ask our trippers to keep themselves away from any crowded space 2 weeks before the trip.We ask our trippers to be careful of the restaurants and hotels that they might go before and after your trek
- .Anyone showing symptoms of COVID-19 (cough, cold, shortness of breath or fever ) are being asked to reschedule their trips/ treks.
- On treks, we are providing hygiene sleeping bags to everyone. You will be using this throughout the trek and only return on the last day
- Every tent will have only 2 people compared to 3 ( which is the usual number at pre-covid era )
Frequently asked questions
Usually, most batch sizes are between 12-20 people who are aged between 16-38. Most people come alone or with a friend. The trip would feel like you are travelling more with college friends than strangers. We tend to do more outdoorsy things than regular trips . For example : If we find a very pretty waterfall/ a beautiful sunset / Rainbow on the way. We would stop the vehicle right away to catch the beauty of it.
We usually sleep very late on these trips as we play a lot of group games and most people feel they will miss the precious time with the group members and decides to stay awake.
Most people come alone for my trips. About 25% of the people bring a friend or partner.
Honestly It really doesnt matter. I have seen on all the bacthes I have lead. Most people really gel with everyone, even the ones who thought would'nt gel up, surprise themselves always with the way they got comfortable with everyone.
Here are few places you can read more about the brand and trips
Back in 2017, i had one good jacket which i used to wear on all treks up in the mountains. One batch gave me this name coz they found my name a bit difficult to follow. It then stuck from there and when i finally decided to start leading my own trips/treks, there was no second thought.

We use quechua 3 man tents with insulation mats and sleeping bags in it. There will be 3 people in each tent. There will be a Dining tent and Minimum 2 toilet tents. The toilets are always dry toilets. So bring a roll of tissue paper.
Each camps are about 6 hours trek apart and we usually start at 8 am.
If you have never done a high altitude trek, then start with a easy or Easy- moderate trek. That way you will understand how your body reacts to high altitude and you can check you cardio strength too.
Another benchmark i usually ask people to try for themselves is as follows. If you can run
- 3 km in 30 minutes , you can start with a easy high altitute trek
- 4 km in 30 minutes , you can start with a easy-moderate high altitute trek
- 5 km in 30 minutes , you can start with a easy Moderate trek
The reason such a standard is kept in place is that everyone in the group will be able to trek in similar pace. Else the lease prepared ones might fall behind and thats not a great thing.
SEE YOU SOON IN THE MOUNTAINS
