    We did the tiger hill sunrise and day hike! Awesome experience and unbelievable views. The guides were great, funny and experienced. The office was very helpful as we had to change the days due to sickness. We really enjoyed and highly recommend the tour with Ashmita Trek and Tour

    Our family of 5 just completed the 4 day Sandakphu trek. Subash was very accommodating and helped us find the trek that best fit our traveling schedule. He communicated well and assisted with logistics in lodging and transportation beyond just the trek. He met with us ahead of time to carefully go over the schedule and give us tips on how to best prepare, including foods to avoid, things to take along, etc. Our guide, Pemba, was very friendly and made sure we had what we needed. He never seemed impatient when we asked hundreds of questions or stopped to take innumerable pictures. He took great care of us and was fun to be around. Our hosts were friendly and knew what foreigners preferences were. The authentic, local cuisine was a highlight. If Pemba knew we especially liked a certain dish he made sure to ask for it again. Overall it was a great experience and we definitely would recommend Ashmita Trek & Tours!

    We had a trek in the Himalayan foothills on the Nepal/India border with our wonderful guide Dawa Lama. Though the clouds ruined the view, Dawa was great and informative, it felt authentic to have breakfast and lunch in local mountain villages (tasty momos, soups, tea, curries and 'the best lime pickle I have ever tasted'). dipu our driver was also great and also drove us to the airport.
    All the Ashmita staff spoke excellent English and were really easy to communicate with, you got the sense this was a very trustworthy organisation.

    Namaste! Sangay Bhutia (guide) took our group of 4 on the Tiger Hill sunrise day hike. Dipu Lepcha drove us up to the lookout, where we caught the sunrise! Sangay led us through a beautiful trail that goes north from Tiger Hill through the woods, and since it was winter time, the frost made the air and landscape fresh. We popped out of the woods, walked through neighborhoods, visited a Tibetan Buddhist monastery, and ascended to a higher road which we took back to Mall Road. Sangay was very knowledgeable, kind, and warm to us. Our trip was from 4 am to 11 am. We'd recommend him and Ashmita to anyone visiting Darjeeling!

    Best Regards
