Why Travel With Summit Routes
Experience. Integrity. Himalayan Excellence.
At Summit Routes, every journey begins with trust and experience. Born from the legacy of Kashmir Treks, our team has spent over 15 years guiding travelers safely through the Himalayas — from the flower-filled valleys of Kashmir to the towering peaks of Nepal and Bhutan.
Led by Mehraj Mir, founder of Kashmir Treks and an accomplished mountain guide, Summit Routes carries forward a tradition built on professionalism, local expertise, and genuine Himalayan hospitality.
Our Story & Legacy
What began as a small guiding outfit in the valleys of Kashmir has grown into a trans-Himalayan network of experienced guides, logisticians, and mountain professionals.
Our foundation — Kashmir Treks — remains the heart of our operation: a team grounded in field experience, environmental ethics, and deep cultural understanding. Every expedition with Summit Routes reflects that same spirit of authenticity and respect for the land and its people.
