Himalayan Expedition Tours

We run Himalayan Expedition Tours out of our place on Himachal Sarani. It’s a straightforward operation where we talk to people about where they want to go in the mountains. We’ve lived around here our whole lives, so we know the paths and the weather pretty well. Our office is filled with old trekking gear and maps that have been folded too many times to count. Most of our day is spent answering questions from people who aren't sure if they can handle the climb or what shoes they should bring for the rocky terrain. Himachal Sarani is a nice spot, though it gets very busy during the peak season when tourists arrive. We don't try to make things sound easier than they are. The mountains are tough, and we tell people that straight. Sometimes we’re out in the field more than we’re in the office, so if you come by and the door is locked, we’re probably up some hill. We handle the bookings and the guides and make sure the tents aren't leaky. It’s hard work and the hours are long when groups are out, but it’s what we do. We don’t have fancy brochures with photoshopped pictures. We just show you the real photos from the last trip on our laptop. It’s a small business, mostly family and a few friends who know the trails. We just keep things moving along and hope for clear skies.
