The Himalayan Trekking Company Built From the Mountains Up

We did Ladakh with SR. Mir was super responsive and replied with reasonable advice and adjustments to our original plan. Shakil was one of the most professional and knowledgeable guides — over 10 years of experience driving through the highlands of Ladakh. Highly recommend Summit Routes.

We loved the 8-night Harki Dun — great hikes, guides, sights, and wonderful food. Our driver-guide Sabat and Sajid were both charming and fantastic. Every aspect of the tour went like clockwork. A month later and we're still sharing stories and pics in our WhatsApp group!

Fabulous trip — I couldn't fault it! Kashmir is stunning and it was wonderful to find a company that combines all the highlights with hikes led by experienced guides, plus activities like rafting and mountain biking. Guides Shah and Gani were brilliant — knowledgeable, flexible and thoughtful. I travelled solo as a female and felt entirely comfortable.

This exceptional company offers a top-tier experience with courteous service and deep expertise. The knowledgeable tour guide brings Kashmir's rich history to life, making it the best way to explore the local culture and hidden gems. Highly recommended for anyone seeking to truly appreciate Kashmir's beauty and history.

We had an amazing day hike to Marchoi Trail with an experienced and knowledgeable guide. Our guide Rahil was sensitive to each hiker's individual needs and helped me through a few slippery spots at the top. When one of our group decided not to continue, arrangements were made on the spot — handled very professionally. A great experience.

I visited Kashmir on a 5-day trip over New Year and went straight to Gulmarg. The organisation was great and the New Year's Eve atmosphere was amazing. The powder snow was fantastic — that's what Gulmarg is all about. I will visit again next year. Highly recommend Summit Routes for their reliable service.

Summit Routes delivered an exceptional local experience. The team's knowledge of the region, the thoughtfully designed itinerary, and the warmth of the guides made every moment special. A truly authentic Himalayan journey.

Absolutely stunning experience through Kashmir Valley. The planning was meticulous — every hotel, transfer and activity was perfectly timed. Our guide explained the cultural context of every site we visited, which made it so much richer than a standard tour. Summit Routes clearly knows this region inside out.

The Great Lakes Trek was beyond anything I expected. Seven high-altitude lakes in seven days — breathtaking at every turn. The camping arrangements were excellent, the cook prepared surprisingly good meals at altitude, and our guide Adil kept the group safe and motivated throughout. I've trekked in many countries, and this team stands out.

My wife and I had always dreamed of seeing Pangong Lake and Nubra Valley. Summit Routes made it absolutely seamless. The permits, the timing through the mountain passes, the accommodation choices — everything was handled with care. Our driver-guide was patient, funny, and genuinely passionate about Ladakh. Worth every penny.

Kashmir in spring is magical — the almond blossoms and tulip gardens were in full bloom. Summit Routes designed a beautiful 6-day itinerary that included a houseboat stay on Dal Lake, day trips to Gulmarg and Pahalgam, and two gentle hikes. Everything flowed naturally. Mir was responsive from day one and the local team on the ground was warm and welcoming.

The Gangbal Twin Lakes trek was an unforgettable Himalayan adventure. The route through alpine meadows and glacial passes was challenging but incredibly rewarding. Our guide Adil was superb — calm under pressure, knowledgeable about the terrain, and genuinely caring about each team member's wellbeing. Logistics were perfectly coordinated. I will be recommending Summit Routes to all my trekking friends in Japan.
