Curated Journeys
For 15 years we ran Kashmir Treks. Summit Routes is that same operation extended because our clients kept asking us to take them further.
Every guide we work with has grown up in these mountains. When you book with the Summit Routes you book direct with the people who know these landscapes because we were born into it, now we cover the full sweep of the Himalaya from Kashmir to Bhutan. No middleman, we run tours and treks by ourselves.
Treks from $495 · Expeditions from $1250 · Cultural tours from $465
Our guides are from Kashmir, Ladakh and the Khumbu, born in these mountains, not hired for the season.
Pulse oximeters, satellite phones and acclimatization rest days are built into every itinerary not optional add-ons.
Every expedition supports local communities and follows our leave no trace trekking principles across all three regions.

Why Summit Routes
Kashmir Treks has operated in the valley for 15 years. Every guide we work with has grown up in Kashmir and Ladakh. Summit Routes is that same operation, extended into Nepal and Bhutan because our clients kept asking us to take them further. We didn’t expand by hiring new people. We expanded because we already knew the right people in every range, from Srinagar to Kathmandu to Paro.
Previously operating as Kashmir Treks (est. 2011) the same founders, the same guides, the same standards. Summit Routes is the natural expansion of that 15-year legacy. Read our full story here.
Multi-day guided treks, from moderate Kashmir valley walks to remote high-altitude crossings in Nepal and Bhutan.
Technical ascents and remote crossings above 4000m, for trekkers ready to go further than a standard route.

Client Reviews
15 years of operations across Kashmir, Nepal and Bhutan. Every review below is from a real client on a real route.
Our guide knew every shepherd family along the route, this was his 3rd trek of the season. By day 4 it felt less like a trek and more like being introduced to those chopan families genuinely loving people.
Kashmir Great Lakes
You can feel these local guides how hard working they are. Their knowledge of the terrain, their safety instincts, their connection to the mountains it’s something no outside operator can replicate.
EBC Trek
We had quite a great trek. From the first email to the last day at Kathmando, everything was seamless. The acclimatization schedule, the knowledge of the Himalayas showed how seriously they take safety and all.
Annapurna Basecamp
I had done Tiger’s Nest with other operators before. This was different — the cultural context our guide brought made everything meaningful. Logistics were flawless.
