I really wanted to see the Himalayas while on this trip, and I was concerned cos I was by myself. However “Mapping the Himalayas” made everything easy and safe for me. I did the Chopta 4 days-3 nights hike. My guide Ankush took really great care of me from the start, the views were breathtaking, and the experience full on with local mountain people - nothing touristy or mainstream. Of course there were some challenges, lots of rain (for me monsoon season was the only possible date) and I had to get out of my comfort zone a little, but it was totally worth it! Would 100% recommend!

We did a 5D/4N Rudranath Trek with the help of MTH (Mapping the Himalayas). We met our trek leader Kalyan Negi aka "Kally Baba" and helper cum cook Vikram Rana aka "Vikka" in Rishikesh, which was our pickup and drop-off point. From our pickup till drop-off they managed all the things very efficiently, our vehicle was good, the food and refreshments given to us was very good, the places we stayed was good. Kally and Vikka know what they are doing, which made our trip so easy for us that we were not worried about a single thing. In addition, Kally has a lot of stories to tell which will keep you guys engaged while you are tried and resting. Vikka is a very nice and shy person he doesn't talk much but he is also fun to work with. I highly recommend using MTH for your any trek and trips anywhere in Uttarakhand, they have a efficient team and equipments to make your journey fun. One thing that people need to understand that you are going in the remote mountains where the facilities and food cannot be upto your expectations and mother nature can be ruthless but these guys will do everything to get the best for you. So don't worry about the comfort and enjoy your trip.

We did a 6 days tour from Rishikesh. We drove to Gangotri and walked from there to a mountain place called Tapovan. The trek was really beautiful. We slept 3 nights in a tent which was cold but because of the good sleeping bags we didn’t felt cold. We got really good food and drank a lot of chai! The guides (Gali) and cook (Bika) were amazing, friendly and funny. We really enjoyed it!

The views from the top of the mountains are fantastic, although some some smoke hides the sunrise. The walk down the mountain provides beautiful sights of nature, small villas and waterfalls. The tour operator (Mapping the Himalayas) provides an excelent service - good breakfast, snack during the tour, safe walking and orientation and support to the group members, and no hurry - allowing the group to walk on their desired pace with stops for photografy whenever desired.

Nice experience. A wonderful start to the day at sunrise at the temple. Then a pleasant hike to the waterfall, where we refreshed ourselves. The guide was very friendly, he told us a lot of interesting things, he took good care of the food and drinks. It's worth going!

We went trekking with this company to the Chopta tre. Everthing was arrange to the best. Spacial thanks to our guied Narayan, which his charm, kindness and his knowladge "made our trip"/

This is a scenic Tour setting out early doors, so you don’t miss the enchanting sunrise. Once you’ve had to peacefully take in the Sunrise and visit the Devi Temple, you’ll embark on the hike/trail back down the mountain. This is where my guide Ankush was truly great and came into his own. He even gave me his own trekking sticks to help and was able to talk through all the different sites and parts of the land while hiking along and made sure I was as comfortable as can be, even stopping at points for a breather and drink. What I learnt, this being my first time on this trek, and something that may help others after reading this in terms of how best to prepare for this trek / excursion is as follows: *) You have to be generally in physical decent shape to take on this trail comfortably. *) Please make sure you have the right footwear…. Coming along to this in your sandals or Nike’s ain’t going to cut it at all. Wear trekking boots if possible, that will support/protect you ankles from twisting and that are more likely to have deeper studs for grip *) This trail I would give a medium difficultly rating for someone who hasn’t done it before. *This is because there is allot of steep descending parts if this trail which there is “allot of loose rock and gravel” that you can easily lose your footing on, and it’s not a place you want to be injured. *)Theres no way around this as “the path, is the path” which for locals and experienced hikers will find easier then the first timer. I absolutely enjoyed myself and would do this again, but this time being better prepared and a more realistic expectation.

Honest and reliable agency. Good guiding with big breakfast. Break time at waterfalls to swim or relax. Efficient and well organized.

We had an amazing day with Anil! The sunrise at the Kunjapuri Temple was very beautiful as well as the hike back to Rishikesh with many cool spots! The whole team from Mapping The Himalayas was very kind and knowledgeable! Definitely recommended!

I booked a private trek as a solo female and was not disappointed. Kaly was a great guide who offered plenty of stops, offered to help me when trail was loose, and even helped snapped photos! He kept a steady pace along mine, and made sure I was safe the entire time. He knows edible plants, talks with the local villagers, and gave tips for parts of the Himalayas where he's from. The sunrise at the temple was great, but i was eager to get the trek down started, so I asked if we could start the trek early. He was happy to accommodate. After the trek, he offered some local tips as well, which were very helpful 🧘🏽‍♀️

Our trekking to Kuari Pass was perfectly organised. We felt very safe and comfortable with the team. They were very friendly and attentive but in the same time kept always a healthy distance. The food was fresh cooked and delicious, we even had sweet after dinner. It was physically a bit challenging for me but I enjoyed every step ! Kali the guide knows exactly when to let you walk at your path and encourage you when needed. He and his team are men with pure hearts and know these mountains by heart. It is sure I will go with them again !

The trekking to see the sunrise on the temple is very Nice , and the guy was very Nice . The views are BeautyFull and the trekking down is very Nice, but you should have some pratice on trekking

We had the most magical week going over Kuari Pass with the best team! Incredible kindness, delicious cooking, wonderful campsites, stunning mountains… absolute first class experience with these guys. It was an honour to experience the Himalayas with them. Would highly highly highly recommend!

Life changing experience in Rishikesh! Devesh was an excellent guide. We went to the Kunjapuri Temple and after it we went hiking to see the waterfall, it was really beautiful!

Mapping The Himalayas will not only take you to a new place but will give you an adventure of a lifetime. Personally I went for the Alaknanda rafting expedition with MTH and I’ll never forget the experience, everything was PERFECT! Kaly is an amazing tour guide and overall everyone working at MTH are high vibing people. The only thing I can say is go for MTH with your eyes closed, they will take care of the rest!
