Reviews of Happy Trekkers ☺
The experience of Har Ki Dun trek was really fantastic. Reaching Sankri and spending two days there; knowing about the villagers and exploring their culture taught me many lessons of life which I would have never learned in the cities. Those 10 days, I lived a totally different life! Living in camps away from luxuries and still enjoying everything to the fullest was something which I did not expect at all.
Greenery all around, birds chirping, clear blue sky and twinkling stars at night, Ahh, Paradise it is! ☺ I felt the peace in mountains and got to know so much about rich culture of Garhwali people. The experiences are just incredible! – Margriet Pousma, Germany
We were 7 friends in a group and planned a good vacation of 10 days. Our friends who trekked with Himalayan Hikers, highly praised and recommended this company, so we booked a trek with them. The leaders on the trek were Pradeep and Deshraj we called Deshraj, Deshu bhai 😀 Whoa! What a great experienced guides they are, Kudos to them and their energy!
Their knowledge of every peak which was visible during the trek, really impressed us all. The interest was doubled and we eagerly moved further. Whenever we got tired, they motivated and helped us every time. And yes, the mythological stories of Pandavas added taste to the adventure! This team has given us unforgettable memories to cherish ☺ since then I have done many treks with the team, but the first Har Ki Dun trek with Pradeep and Deshu bhai was lit. – Varun, Delhi
To describe har ki dun I only have these words – “WOW”. After witnessing nature at its best I lost my heart there. I had no idea that my first Himalayan trek would be so amazing. Everything went smooth on the trek because of good arrangements and execution. The facilities and services provided were outstanding and the adventure of this trek was perfect for us. After combining everything, I want to say that our group had a great experience. – Abhishek Bhargava, Mumbai
I have a keen interest in exploring and when I came to know about “the Valley of Gods” my interest just boosted and there was a curiosity to know about every tale and story related to it. The Pandavas roamed there and I too wanted to go. I think Har Ki Dun is one of the best trek in India. There are a number of places I’ve visited but there is something special about this one.
My expectations were not very high about the services because the aim was to just explore. But…. The way we were treated was heartwarming and they left great impressions. Now twice in a year my husband and I go on treks with them and share a very strong bond. Exploring with them is very safe and fun at the same time ^_^ – Meenakshi Sati, Bangalore
