How We Look After You

What happens behind every trip

The practical side of travelling with us — who looks after you, and what we do when things do not go to plan.

Ground operations, end to end

We meet you at the airport and arrange hotels, meals and transport throughout — cars and coaches on the main roads, four-wheel-drive jeeps in the mountains — along with permits, local guides and camping equipment.

Everything we arrange →

A team that travels with you

Local guides stay with you for the whole tour. Treks are led by experienced Himalayan Holidays mountain guides with first-aid training, supported by a cook, kitchen crew and porters, after a full briefing in Rawalpindi.

When plans have to change

Mountain flights are grounded by bad weather and roads close after landslides or snow. If a flight north is cancelled on one of our treks we continue by road, and for emergencies we arrange medical treatment, evacuation and helicopter rescue.

Flights and travel times →

Travelling responsibly

We follow Leave No Trace principles in camp, hunt wildlife with cameras only, and run environmental education programs for schools and families.
