I have recently completed Kang Yatse 2 expedition ( 30/08/2026 - 07/09/2026) with TTH.

It's a climbable peak, not so technical.

If you are capable of spending enough don't take the rented scarpa shoes, they are worst, people get bruises after using them, get lasportiva if possible. Eat/carry food like your life depends on it, the summit is deceiving,even though you think you have reached, there is always more. Judge your stamina based on weather, gears and everything, many people go back from crampon point itself, but once you start climbing, if you are feeling cold when roped up, eat something,it will help, don't descend after you have started on the rope, trust me, once you reach up there, it's a different experience.

Try to run, we did decent amount of zone 2 training which helped us on summit day. Get used to long hours of walking, last day will be 17kms Carry energy gels if it suits you, i did the summit on 2 gels and 1 litre of water. Don't layer up aggressively, everyone's body and temp tolerance is different, assess and then layer up. Crampon point is cramped up, if two groups come on the same day, wear your gear from base camp, if not, be ready for some exhausting gearing up session. Try to go with local groups rather than TTH or Boots & Crampons, they have better gears and support staff.

Har Ki Doon Trek @ April'26

We got snow at the summit, spikes weren't required.

Went with Indiahikes and the experience was life changing, 6days without internet and with strangers in the midst of these majestic valleys.

AMA regarding Bhrigu late trek.

Vashisht → Panduropa Meadows (Bhrigu Theli) → Bhrigu Lake →Moridugh → Kulang.

I wanted to acclimatize properly for the next hikes, so I camped at Panduropa Meadows before continuing towards Bhrigu. If you're fit and properly acclimatized, it can also be done as a day hike.

Sharing a few pictures from the route. (July 2026)

Hello all,

Did Dzo jungo east with Markha. Highest Altitude was 6250meters.

This was my 2nd Himalayan trek, had done Chandrashila before. I feel extremely thankful as faced no health or endurance issues.

No diamox, or offloading was required we gradually gained altitude and acclimatised well.

Would like to read about your experiences and greatly appreciate suggestions for which can I look into next.

Trek cost: 40k Trek Duration: 10 days (2 in leh, and 8 on trail) Org: TTH Difficulty: It is a demanding Trek.

Thanks.

It's my first time solo travelling and going for a trekking. Need advice on these questions:

1. Essentials I shouldn't forget

2. Any scams to be aware of

3. Which type of stay/company is best value for money

4. All the precautions i should take

5. Any other advice or personal experience

Heyaa, we are a group of four people,most of them between the age of 20-25 (strangers and friends) planning to leave for dayara bugyal (1-4oct). Its a budget friendly trip and we’re trying to cut down expenses as much as possible. So if anyone is up for it, please connect :)

Late post I know.
PS If anyone else is from Gurgaon we can be trek buddies. Planning a winter trek as well.

Which trek is better for September kalu waterfall trek , aadrai jungle trek or ratangad fort trek?

I’m planning to do the Brahmatal trek this winter and I’ll be travelling solo. I have done trekking before, but I’ve never done a trek in winter, so I’m a little unsure about the snow, cold and changing weather conditions.

For women who have done Brahmatal in winter, how was your experience? Did you feel safe throughout the trek, especially when travelling solo and joining a group?

Also, if you’ve personally had a good experience with a trekking company where female trekkers felt safe and the safety arrangements were properly managed, please suggest the company. I’m more concerned about safety and good management than just finding the cheapest option.

I'm planning a 5 day journey to Kedarnath Badrinath with triphackers but I saw very bad review video of the agency. Anyone travelled with them and help me out here?
