We are glad that we went with Himalayan Dream Treks to organise our expedition as they were very responsive to all our questions and provided an excellent experience. Everyone took really good care of us: the guides are all top-notch & our cook provided healthy, delicious (& very filling!) meals. I highly recommend HDT for climbing/hiking logistics!

The entire journey was incredibly well-organized — from the pre-trek communication to the daily briefings and support during the trek itself.The natural beauty of Kashmir is beyond words, and the trek took us through some of the most breathtaking landscapes I've ever seen. What made it even better was the amazing support team. Our trek leader, Ritik Rawat, was outstanding — calm, knowledgeable, and always looking out for everyone's safety and morale. The support staff were also fantastic — from setting up camps to preparing hot meals in the middle of nowhere.The food was delicious, the camping equipment was clean and reliable, and the safety measures were always in place. I never once felt unprepared or unsafe.Huge thanks to Himalayan Dream Treks for creating such a memorable and smooth trekking experience. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to explore the Himalayas. Anurag bhatu2025-04-21 Kashmir Great lakes Trek With Himalayan Dreamtreks The KGL trek I did last year with Himalayan Dreamtreks was unforgettable.

Recommend going with Himalayan Dream Treks if you need an experience of the mountain life without any sugarcoating in its raw form! Ramya Nayak2025-06-27 We did Pancha Kedar Trek with them and had a terrible experience. Their briefing sessions weren't completely informative, so we asked some genuine queries related to stay in the WhatsApp group. Their coordinator Bhuvi was super rude to us in answering them. During Kedarnath, itinerary said hotel to Son Prayag TT ride, but we had to walk. For the govt taxi to Gauri Kund they had told guide will help, but he just didn't bother to help in the morning because it was crowded and we had to struggle to get one. They do not really care about the food quality. The mention that they provide nutritious food on the website is false. Except Gondhar, nowhere else we got good food. For lunch, at least they could have suggested us where we get good food while trekking, no info given. They initially said if the hotel where they arranged breakfast delayed it, they would arrange it for us outside, but that did not always happen. On the last day they rejected to pay for the breakfast because we left early didn't have it in the place of stay. The entire group broke the itinerary and used mule for 1 trek, they made us pay for the stay, but did not even bother arranging breakfast as that was a part of the itinerary. They did not communicate about cloakroom fee and asked the same on the spot in Son Prayag. When asked for refund before giving it the person said 'it will be there everywhere, is this your first time traveling?' and many more rude things. Bhuvi suggested leaving the luggage on TT and we did. All our clothes, my camera lens, the pooja prasad we had bought, everything was drenched and water was dripping out of them. When called to speak, he was again rude and disconnected. They said guide will do something about it. The something was he gave me one string and 2 chairs. I spent 4 nights drying and repacking and also 4 days I had to repeat my clothes. He gave this to me, because I asked. Others did not even get that. They had different itinerary in different places. They had shared a PDF with us which mentioned something, and over the period this Bhuvi comes in and asks us to go through the website which was totally different. Till day 4 of the trek there was no formal briefing session at all. Guide would randomly tell time for the next day and no other information related to layering etc. for these days. Do not expect any activity during the trek like other companies do. They just let you go on your own and keep a watch on you. Here are a few positives: - TT driver Ram Bhaiyya was sweet and helpful - even though it took arguments for some of the refunds, once agreed they gave it fast - they did not taunt/pressurise those who were walking at the end like other companies do. The guides were really considerate on this. Update: Thanks for the response. Here is my clarification: 1. Briefing session: questions were answered, but before answering your coordinator said we didn't know the answers because we haven't paid attention to the session. 2. I called him to inform because he suggested leaving the luggage in TT while this guide wasn't even there. And the call was at 8:34 PM. All that was needed was to understand the problem so that it doesn't repeat with other customers. 3. govt. Taxi - I mentioned above we just asked for help with catching one which we didn't get in the mng. 4. Lunch - I am vegetarian. All I mentioned was the taste of food. 6 of us could not eat the food provided at the Nandi Base camp 3, dinner and breakfast. You guys are experienced in the area. All I expected was better quality and a bit of taste. 5. I did mention you guys were prompt on the refunds. But for those who kept quiet, ended up paying. 7. My lens pouch was wet hence lens did get super cold. I warmed it keeping under my body in the night. 9. ₹8600 was of 6 people; also, asking for discount was my right, I executed it. I don't think there is a need to mention that in feedback about service quality. Someone getting late, them joining enroute was a suggestion to save time. To honour the group time, we ended up spending and reaching where TT was. Maanik Bansal2025-06-26 Amazing experience!! Thank you so much for organizing the trip so well, making it relaxing and exploring both. Such a wonderful time spent with our lovely gang, nature with lot of god's blessings. Deepanshu Negi2025-06-23 I recently completed the **Panch Kedar Yatra** in June with **Team HDT**, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Doing it solo might have sounded daunting, but thanks to the incredible support from the entire team, it turned out to be an unforgettable journey. A special shoutout to our amazing trek leaders **Shivam** and **Udit**, whose constant motivation, guidance, and patience made all the difference—especially during the challenging stretch to **Rudranath**, which wouldn’t have been possible without their support. I’d also like to extend heartfelt thanks to our driver and the entire HDT crew for their seamless coordination and care throughout the trip. It wasn’t an easy journey by any means, but together, we made it happen. **Grateful and proud** to have been part of this sacred adventure with such a dedicated and supportive team. **Thank you, HDT!** - Vijay Mohan Bembey2025-06-23 Good Morning *Team HDT Foundation,* I extend my heartfelt thanks to the entire team at Himalayan Dream Trek for organizing such a well-planned and wonderfully executed Dayara Bugyal Trek. A special note of appreciation goes to our two exceptional guides: *Mr. Pankaj Panwar* *Mr. Rahul Rawat* Both demonstrated outstanding professionalism, experience, and leadership. They consistently guided and motivated our diverse group, ensuring that every member felt supported and included. Their ability to communicate key information, provide training, and maintain group morale made the journey both safe and enjoyable. Their cheerful demeanor and problem-solving mindset were particularly reassuring during the challenges we encountered. I would also like to acknowledge the cooking and support staff for serving high-quality, delicious food and beverages throughout the trek. Their efforts significantly enhanced our experience. A big thank you to *Bhuvi* as well, for her effective planning and coordination in Soby’s absence. She ensured that every aspect of the program ran smoothly. *Soby* , please convey our sincere gratitude to each member of your wonderful team. I look forward to meeting again soon to discuss areas of improvement and to make our future treks even more seamless and memorable. Once again, thank you for your dedication and for being such a dynamic and friendly team. Warm regards, Vijay Mohan Bembey Chandra Thada2025-06-22 Trekking to Auden’s Col was nothing short of an epic experience. It’s not for the faint of heart, but for those who embrace the challenge, this trail is truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. A huge thanks to Himalayan Dream Treks for organizing this trek so seamlessly. The team was incredibly well-organized, and our trek lead Sobhi was an absolute star. Sobhi not only set the right expectations for each day but also kept us captivated with his fascinating stories of the mountains. His knowledge and easygoing nature kept the group engaged and inspired, leaving us in awe of the mighty Himalayas. Ud Rawat2025-06-19 recently completed the Panch Kedar Yatra with Himalayan Dream Treks, and it was an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, the entire journey was well-organized, spiritually enriching, and logistically smooth. The team was incredibly supportive, ensuring safety, comfort, and a personal touch at every step. Our trek leaders were knowledgeable, patient, and deeply respectful of the religious and cultural significance of each temple we visited – Kedarnath, Tungnath, Rudranath, Kalpeshwar, and Madhyamaheshwar. Accommodations and meals throughout the trek were thoughtfully arranged, even in remote locations. The logistics—from transport to permits—were handled seamlessly, allowing us to focus entirely on the trek and spiritual journey. This was not just a trek—it was a life-changing pilgrimage, and I’m grateful to Himalayan Dream Treks for making it so special. I would highly recommend them to anyone planning the Panch Kedar or any Himalayan adventure. Prashant Naidu2025-06-18 An adventurous experience on Auden's Col Expedition with HDT ❤️.

This was my first time trekking, and I truly believe that HDT made it unforgettable. HDT takes care of everything you need — from planning to execution. Our trek leader, RAHUL and Guide Himanshu was incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Their experience and confidence really motivated me throughout the journey. They not only led us through different scenic routes but also shared insightful information about the region, making the trek even more enriching. Their constant encouragement, patient support during both the ascent and descent, and attention to my well-being ensured I completed the trek safely and without any injuries. I genuinely wouldn’t have made it without his guidance. The kitchen team also led by Rahul was exceptional. They served four fresh and delicious meals every day — breakfast, lunch, evening snacks, and dinner. What amazed me the most was that not a single dish was repeated over the five days, and everything tasted incredible! The diet chart was created wisely and healthy so that everyone got nutritious and healthy food for this trek. A huge thank you to the entire HDT team, especially allrounder RAHUL and HIMANSHU for making this trek such a beautiful and memorable experience. I’m already looking forward to going on another trek with HDT later.
