I'm not experienced and have never treked for a couple of years. However, I'd like to go to the mountain in the north-east India and decided to trek there. As I had predicted, the treking was tough for me. But, the guid, Mr Pemba and the poter always supported me and arranged to my condition. Thanks to them, I could experience the amazing adventure which I had never imagined before. The experience will remain inside me forever. I'm sure that ... continue reading

Subash and his team organised an amazing 3 day trek (60km's) for my wife and I this November. Our guide Mr Vinod was excellent, very professional and made our trip up to the Sunrise Lodge to watch the sunrise over the Himalayas a memory we will never forget. Thank you for such an amazing experience. continue reading

We popped into Ashmita to get some advice about the sleeper bus to Kolkata. The whole family was there. All delightful. Contacted another agency in Siliguri and sorted tickets for us, all at no cost. All the time being helpful and super friendly. We then waited while they spoke with other clients about trekking. Obviously knowledgeable, they were helpful and interested in finding the right trek for the clients rather than necessarily the most lucrative one for their business. Highly ... continue reading

Subash put together a special 2-day trek for us to fit in with the time we had. First day we walked up through some memorable Buddhist monasteries. Stayed in a comfortable (and sufficiently warm, which is great given the freezing weather in November) guesthouse at the top, and were provided with good home made food. The sunrise from the hill nearby was stunning, one of my highlights of India. We could see Everest in the distance. Our guide Chenning(?) was ... continue reading

I had a wonderful experience trekking with Ashmita trek. Subash and crew are quick in answering mails, flexible both before and during the trip and thoroughly friendly all the way. I was trekking alone, that is, just my guide and I, and he went out of his way to ensure that my trekking was comfortable and good. Thanks to all of you! continue reading

Subash and the Ashmita team accommodated me on a last minute trip to Darjeeling and up to Sandakphu. With limited time available (alas...) I was worried that this trip wouldn't be a possibility. But the team was super helpful and ultimately provided a great experience. Highly recommend - only regret is I wasn't able to spend more time in this beautiful area! continue reading

The trek was fantastic, as any trek with great friends and magnificent Himalayas will be. I want to note how incredible Subash, the tour operator was. Before getting to Darjeeling, he was lightning fast with email responses. After we finished, he took the time to actually listen to constructive criticism and gave us each a small token of thanks. How incredible and unexpected from a tour company.  continue reading

We did a six day Singalila Ridge walk with Ashmita tours. It was very good. It was medium difficult for Jenni and I (we are both in our sixties, but fairly fit). Ashmita organised accommodation for us in the local villages, which was quite good. Food was quite OK, though you need to watch out for the stomach bugs and have the right pills just in case. Our guid Binod was very good and looked after us very well. Our ... continue reading
