  1. We had Nafran valley trekking with our group leader Mr. Sundar Narshimhan from 2.8.23 to 9.8.23 organized by Mr. Riyaz and his company. It was nicely organized trekking tour, group members were ably supported by organizers’ team. Food was nicely cooked and many dishes were prepared on demand. Guide Mr. Ali Baba and our cook were jolly and supportive. Trek tested our physique and resolve. Trek had beautiful scenes never seen before. Snow clad mountains lush green meadows and alpine forests all along. It was memorable trip which all of us enjoyed.

  2. Good morning. This is Dr Asha Patil from Mumbai
    Recently I did Nafran valley trek. Our trek started from Aru base camp.
    It was my first trek in Kashmir valley. It was wonderful experience. Luckily weather was good. I thoroughly enjoyed the nature, beautiful meadows and music of waterfalls.
    Logistics were excellent. Tasty breakfast, lunch and dinners added to our joy. Tents were very comfortable. Guides were very cooperative and helping. In true sense I didn’t felt I am doing any trek. Very comfortable, All of us were 50 plus age still could complete the trek upto Harnag, without any problem. Route selected by you was very safe with full of meadows. Campsites were toooo good. I will recommend everyone to do this trek.
    I am also interested (want to experience) in doing solo trek .
    Your brother who accompanied us throughout the trek has very good management skills 👌
    Thanks for your excellent planning 👏👏👏
