Booked: Kunjapuri Trek Rishikesh

Gangotri and Chukhambha make a marvellous sight together from the top. The trek leader was a local so we really explored the region in the truest ways. We stopped at a mountain dhaba to eat Maggie.

I decided to try out this trek, and being a solo trekker I was a little conscious at first, but the guide made me feel really comfortable, and even though I wasn’t a very experienced trekker, he made sure I kept up with the group. I was glad I decided to do this, as I also saw some amazing views along the way of the trek.

Great experience, must say. With the money back guarantee and zero booking fees, the trek was every bit of what was promises to us by Thrillophilia. Starting from Kunjapuri Mandir to Rishikesh, we were greeted by the great Himalayan ranges throughout our trip. The early morning pick up was delayed by 35 mins, which was a bit annoying. But besides that, the hotel stay and everything was comfortable. We were barely able to spot any wild animals though, but that’s bound to happen - not their fault. Our guide, Pran was very helpful and knowledgeable about every place. He also enlightened us with some local folklore and stories. Decent experience. Will recommend to others. Thanks.
