ABOUT US
DISCOVER BEYOND WITH THE MOUNTAIN SPRIT

experiences should be safe, organised, and eco-friendly. Founded in 2024–25, our journey began

inspires purpose.

to sustainable trekking practices, our goal is to offer authentic Himalayan journeys while giving
back to the mountains we walk on.
We don't just trek — we climb, we clean, we care.

Client Testimonials
The Traveller's Experience
Gaumukh – Tapovan Trek
This trek genuinely changed something in me. Walking beside the Bhagirathi and then suddenly standing in front of the Gaumukh glacier… pura body goosebumps. Tapovan ka sunrise is unreal mountains literally turn golden. Thoda tough hai, but every step is worth it.
Rohit S., Pune
Kedarkantha Trek
Perfect first winter trek! I went with zero experience but the guides were super patient. Fresh snow, cute little camps, and that summit push at 3 AM… yaar, unforgettable. The 360° view at the top is something you have to see once in life.
Ananya K., Delhi
Har Ki Dun Trek
If you want a peaceful, old-school Uttarakhand vibe, Har Ki Dun is the one. Villages, wooden houses, friendly locals… felt like time slowed down. Not too difficult, but super rewarding. Loved every moment.
Satyam B., Lucknow
Dayara Bugyal Trek
Dayara Bugyal is honestly the most underrated trek. Those meadows open up out of nowhere, full Bollywood moment. Super easy, family-friendly, and insanely photogenic. Even my mom completed it happily.
