We offer guided expeditions to some of India’s most iconic and sacred peaks. Here’s a look at the mountains that define our journey — and maybe yours.1. Satopanth Expedition – 7,075 m
Located in the Garhwal Himalayas, Satopanth is not just a mountain — it's a spiritual summit. Its name means "Path of Truth," and reaching the top is truly a test of mind, body, and belief.
