- We are a Manali based cooperative society and are in the field for more than two decades.
- We have a physical address of our office and you can meet us at our office unlike online portals that just have a query form which you have to fill and submit and they will reach you whenever they wish to and you cannot reach them in case of emergency or a dispute.
- Since all our staff is from villages around Manali, they know every aspect of the trail and will be resourceful at times of emergency.
- Since we are a cooperative society, we work for safeguarding the livelihood of our members not just for today but for tomorrow as well. We achieve that by building a strong and trustworthy relationship with our guests.
- We try to engage the guides and support team from the same region as the origin of the trek route.

no unnecessary digging at campsites, take all our garbage along only to be dumped in dumpster, no camp fires, keep the water sources clean.
