ENCHANTING, THRILLING AND ADVENTUROUS is the only right way to recount my trek with Vyshak and this MAD group whom I now call family ❤️
I booked my slot just a week prior to the trek and my first question to Vyshak was- “Is there an exit route planned?”
“It’s not the destination, it’s the journey” makes perfect sense now. Vyshak knew exactly how to keep us all entertained throughout the trek that reaching the summit felt like a cake walk.
Warmest hugs on a rainy trek from the people I met for the first time, facetious remarks from friends I’ve known for over 7 years, beginning of new friendships admits the jungle, interesting stories and hilarious experiences from previous trips, lame conversations, the most entertaining games and ravishing falls are the memories I will always hold close to my heart from this journey!
From making us feel at home on our first day to arranging ‘chai’ for us at the summit, Vyshak surely knows the way to peoples heart!! His enthusiastic spirit, empathetic nature and perpetual positive attitude is what makes him the life of the party!
Each day was a learning, a new experience and an emotion I’ve never felt before. This trek was something I never imagined doing but now I’m eagerly looking forward to my next one with the “One in the orange jacket”🧡

Most people come alone for my trips. About 25% of the people bring a friend or partner.Honestly It really doesn’t matter. I have seen on all the batches I have lead. Most people really gel with everyone, even the ones who thought wouldn’t gel up, surprise themselves always with the way they got comfortable with everyone.
Each trek/ trip is rated according to the number of days we spend outdoors . If you aren’t sure where to start, go with an easy trip or trek.
For trips,
I dreamed of trips where we could go out hike , get exhausted , come back to hotel and have a great evening. This is exactly why some of my trips have Day hikes in it. It is a perfect chance for people who have never hiked in their entire life. Don’t worry, We are there :).
For treks,
you can start with Sandhakphu or Chandrashila . You can also benchmark yourself for the treks.
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.
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.
