Backpacking Trips

  Booked a last minute trek with Outdoor Monks. Could not have found a nicer, more supportive set of guides and trek mates! Outdoor monks took amazing care of all of... read more us, making sure we bonded as a group, enjoyed the trek, learnt along the way and most importantly... Ate well! In a group where not everyone was at the same fitness level to climb, our guides Bharatji and Dheeraji made sure that we all made it to the summit as a team. Not to mention, they clicked some of the most amazing pics for us never once rushing us to "keep moving" or "reach the camp" like some of the other guides on the mountain kept yelling at their groups. They were patient, polite and best of all provided us with all the support we needed. For those of us who wanted to explore, they even took us on small excursions along the way to discover the mountain and spot wildlife. Lastly, Ankush, our tour coordinator, was an absolute jem, helping us prepare before we reached Dehradun and offering some trek-saving advice that got us through the cold nights :) Thanks Outdoor Monks! Can't wait to get back on the trail with you again soon! …

They had no knowledge of how to prevent high altitude sickness no say on the medicines. In the mountains it’s a tricky thing because it can lead to several problems. Apart from that the travel too and from sankri was a Tempo Traveller which was additional cost. The food on the entire trek was amazing. Tents were good quality and overall it was a great experience. …

A... read more huge shout out for the team of Surendra, Raju, Harishchandra and Kishan, who kept us well fed with mouth watering and nutritious food through out our trek. These guys truly went above and beyond to keep us at optimum physical condition. The tents , sleeping bags and other snow equipments were of highest grade. Try to use the best trekking gear available ankle length shoes, rain jackets and never ever forget the walking pole, its the most underrated item in the list and goes a long way. We all reached thé Summit of KK for the sunrise and it was the most surreal experience. We also got some fresh snowfall at the base of KK which was absolutely magical. Will be back for more .
