Zen, relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable
Gert V, France - December 18, 2022
Thanks to Ashmita Trek and to our guide Dawa for an excellent experience: the Tonglu Tumling 2 day trek . This trek was an absolute high (in every sense) to our journey in India. We had the opportunity to sample local food (all very tasty) and local customs. The homestay in Tonglu was primitive (we knew), but had a really cosy feel to it. A tip however: if you're doing this trek in winter, be prepared for cold conditions, also ... continue reading
Our target was a view of four of the five highest mountains in the world during a single day trek.
Kiaditke, India - December 18, 2022
Our target was a view of four of the five highest mountains in the world during a single-day trek. The Tonglu-Tumling trek exactly fits the bill. We started walking from Tumling village, where we climbed a little hill for this grand view. This was followed by a walk along the Singalila ridge to Tonglu village, which is around 100 m higher. Lunch in Tonglu was followed by the downhill walk to Chitre, through forests of white oak and rhododendron interspersed ... continue reading

Awesome hiking experience with amazing views in the Singalila National Park
Lydia E, Germany - December 11, 2022
We were a group of four and had some amazing six days at the Sandakphu - Singalila Ridge with our guide Sangay. It was such a great experience to hike along the Indian - Nepali border from Mane Bhanjiang via Tonglu, Gairibas, Sandakphu, Phalut and Ghorkey to Rimbik. We could not have been luckier with the weather and the clear sights and most importantly with Sangay! He made everything work out perfectly, also even when one of us was feeling ... continue reading
Amazing even on cloudy days
Ines, Germany - December 04, 2022
Sangay was an excellent guide and made the experience special and the hike great despite the fog. We could not see much but still had a great day and we felt in great hands walking through the fog towards the end of the tour. The hospitality and the food was great at both stops and i loved listening to Sangays stories and explanation. He was very mindful of our different experience level and made it a good day for everyone. ... continue reading
