“Dive in the Splendid Beauty of Nature”

Sikkim, a traveler’s paradise, is a place where trekkers can have their best trekking experience by relishing pure air and silence on the Himalayan Land.

Yuksom serves as the base camp for unforgettable treks into the wilds of the mountains. Nowhere else will you find trails that lure you through lush rhododendron forests and mesmerizing landscapes to a height of about 12800feets at Dzongri or even above to Goe Chala at a height of 18000feet!

We, at Himalayan Safaris, make all the effort to help you have best time while trekking by making available and arranging for all what is required. Trekking and camping equipments are available on hire at very nominal rates, apart from facilities for Mountain Biking and Rock Climbing under strict supervision.

Our travel representatives will always keep a check on you and would make sure that all safety rules are followed while you explore the deep secrets of nature. At Himalayan Safaris, everything is made available to help you have a Gala Time at 18000feets above ground!

Tips for Trekkers

Be it an easy or a difficult trek, you must prepare well for it which means, what you carry with you and what you wear is important.

  • Be it an easy or a difficult trek, you must prepare well for it- Carry only what is needed!
  • Wear trekking boots - well broken in and waterproofed – something that will help you grip the ground well.
  • Wear warm clothing.
  • Carry extra sets in a day-pack.
  • Thermal inner is certainly recommended here; so are sunglasses, snow goggles and a water bottle.
  • Be sure to carry a personal first aid kit including medication for common ailments such as headaches and dysentery, antiseptic cream, surgical tape, band aids, sun cream (15% block out advised for Spiti and Ladakh) and lip salve.
  • Take a toilet kit - including extra toilet paper, towel and soap along.
  • Hats to keep out the sun and parkhas to keep out the rain are important.
  • It also makes sense to carry dry eatables like chocolates and biscuits.

    Cycling

    Another way to explore Sikkim is on a cycle at your own pace. You can hire one and experience the thrill of riding through riots of rhododendrons, sleepy mountain trails and enchanting landscapes.

    White Water Rafting

    White-water rafting on the Teesta and the Rangit is an experience that you can afford to miss. Whether you love water sports or not, whether or not you are avid adventurer; it is a thrill of another kind that is a must-have on your trip to Sikkim.

    What Our Client Says

    • "As tour manager of Joe Far Tours I want to thank you for the great services my group received during Oracle-festivals from March 11 - 20, 2011. We stayed in the best hotel of town with good central heating and excellent food and service, had new cars with friendly and helpful drivers and a very experienced local guide Tashi. Besides that you personally came to check everything! Your service even included a reserved area with chairs during festival, lunch and hot tea.

      Thanks again and I am looking forward to your services in Changthang in July 2011."

    • "I arrived in Ladakh with only six precious days and no semblance of a plan. Odpal George and his team at Himalayan Safaris worked with me on short notice to set up a fantastic tour, including a 3-day trek from Likir to Lamayuru. Their service and local knowledge were top notch, and I assumed that their prices would be high -- but after checking around town with other tour operators, I realized they were right in line. I highly recommend working with Himalayan Safaris."

      Dan Fineman

    • Himalayan Safaris and Odpal George are excellent. They handled our Leh experience comprehensively, taking care of our every need, while remaining very flexible in ensuring we got the best experiences in spite of weather changes (it rained in Leh). Peter, the trek guide, was fantastic along the trek, chatty, knowledgeable about the trek area, the flora and fauna. He made good decisions on how to keep the trek experience high as the weather changed. Stenzin, our main guide at the gompas, was a fountain of knowledge. Even the drivers Egbol and Naxir, where efficient and courteous.

    • I wanted to take this opportunity to thanks you, your brother Peter and your staff for a delightful stay in Ladakh. It was a pleasure to get to know Tashi and we all enjoyed seeing the scenery, temples and towns of the region. I especially appreciated you and your company's flexibility in helping us with our changing plans.

      Finally, we so enjoyed our stay at your hotel in Sabu. The rooms were great and well designed. The food was wonderful and the staff was friendly and experienced. You and Peter have clearly put a lot of thought into it.

      We had a wonderful experience with you and would recommend it to anyone.
