The Team Behind Kashmir Treks · Now Across India, Nepal & Bhutan
Same Guides. Same Standards.
A Wider Himalaya.
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. Every route we plan, we have walked ourselves. When you book with Summit Routes you book direct — no middlemen, no subcontracted experience, no surprises. Just people who know this landscape because they were born into it, now covering the full sweep of the Himalaya from Kashmir to Bhutan.
Treks from $620 · Expeditions from $1,800 · Cultural tours from $895
Safety First
Pulse oximeters, satellite phones and acclimatisation rest days are built into every itinerary — not optional add-ons.
Responsible Travel
Every expedition supports local communities and follows our leave-no-trace trekking principles across all three regions.

Why Summit Routes
You’re Not Booking a Tour. You’re Joining a Local Team.
Kashmir Treks has operated in the valley for 15 years. Every guide we work with has grown up in these mountains — Kashmir, Ladakh, the Zanskar range. 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.
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 →
HERITAGE & CULTURE
Temples, monasteries and living traditions, from Kashmir and Ladakh to Spiti and Bhutan.
TREKKING
Multi-day guided treks, from moderate Kashmir valley walks to remote high-altitude crossings in Nepal and Bhutan.
EXPEDITIONS
Technical ascents and remote crossings above 4,000m, for trekkers ready to go further than a standard route.
Client Reviews
Trusted by Trekkers from Around the World
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. By day three it felt less like a trek and more like being introduced to a place someone genuinely loves.
★★★★★
You can feel they are locals. Their knowledge of the terrain, their safety instincts, their connection to the mountains — it’s something no outside operator can replicate.
★★★★★
From the first email to the last day on the trail, everything was seamless. The acclimatisation schedule alone showed how seriously they take safety.
★★★★★
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.
