Treks

Walk to notice, not to conquer

Five trails, graded honestly. These are the treks we know and lead ourselves, from a gentle forest climb to a glacier at the head of a valley.

Each trek lives inside a longer journey, and the shorter ones can also be walked on their own. Groups of 4 to 10, led by our BMC certified lead guide. Dates are released in small batches. Message us and we will tell you what is opening next.

Beginner · Kukuchina, near Dwarahat

Pandavkholi

A gentle forest climb to a high meadow tied to the years the Pandavas spent in hiding. The trail passes near the Mahavatar Babaji cave, and the meadow at the top is the kind of place people stop talking without being asked.

Trail: About 3.5 km each way, a steady forest path from Kukuchina village
Getting there: About 1.5 hours from Ranikhet via Dwarahat. We arrange the drive.
Suits: First-time trekkers who can walk a few hours

Part of: Into the Quiet, The Long Quiet

Day trek from Oakakhi: ₹3,500 per person

Altitude: 2,750 metres. High enough to feel it.
Suits: Walkers comfortable going uphill for a few hours

Part of: Where the Clouds Rest

How we trek

Trekking as a form of inquiry

There is a version of Himalayan trekking that is about conquest: summits bagged, kilometres logged, photos taken. That is not us. We use the act of walking through mountains for something slower and harder to name.

A walking question each morning, with no obligation to answer out loud
A slow pace: 4 to 6 km a day on most treks, not 15
Simple, fresh food cooked for each meal
Guides trained in mindful facilitation, not performance
No competitive atmosphere. Everyone moves at their own pace.
Campfire conversations in the evening, never forced
Digital detox encouraged, not enforced
An honest conversation about readiness before you book
