Your Own Custom Himalayan Trip!


We create, organize and produce dozens of independent Custom Treks, Tours and Trips each year throughout the Himalayan region in Northern India (areas such as Ladakh, Sikkim, Spiti, Garhwal, Himachal Pradesh), Tibet, Nepal and Bhutan. These custom trips are custom-designed to your needs, interests, schedules and any other requirement you might have. We have created organized (scheduled) and custom Himalayan trips since 1988 and have provided itineraries and full support for hundreds of clients (groups, families, individuals). You supply the parameters for your trip (dates, routes or areas of interest, participants, and level of support).



We work with you throughout the process to further define your needs, apply our long experience in the area (suggest options) and refine the daily events - to transform the trip of your dreams into reality. Available support can range from simply a local guide and urban cultural or religious tours - to breathtaking, high-altitude Himalayan trekking with full trail support (guides, ponies, yaks, porters, cooks and helpers). Likewise, lodging can range from ***** Luxury Hotels, simple Guest Houses, rustic Tea Houses and tents! It's your trip, your way!

This is a great way for school groups, family groups, good friends (how about a high-altitude birthday party - we have done those too) or even individuals to have the exact itinerary for that once-in-a-lifetime Himalayan adventure. Costs always depend on the specifics of your trip, but we can usually give you a fair estimate quickly - based on the information you provide. Once you approve the final itinerary, you'll have a final cost too!

We ask for a $200USD development fee to create your custom itinerary. Once you approve your itinerary and 'join' your trip, that development cost is deducted from the land cost of your trip. So, if you follow-through with your trip, the cost of developing your own Custom Trip is free. Because it's custom, contact us with some preliminary information and we are happy to help get you started on a trip you'll long remember! We know where you're going and we're happy to help turn your ideas into reality.

Tribals of Bastar


Though Gonds can be found almost in all the districts of the state, there are two important concentration regions. The first is the central Madhya Pradesh and the other region is the southern part of the Chhattisgarh state - ie Bastar Division. More than 20% of the Gonds in Chhattisgarh state are in Bastar district. In Bastar the three main sub castes of Gonds are Maria, Muria, and Dorla. The name Gond is extracted from the Telugu word 'Konda' which means hill. Agriculture, collecting minor forest produce, forging metal goods in cottage industries, fishing, hunting, other primary sector activities are the main activities of Gonds.



Marriages are preferred within the blood relations mostly according to Hindu rites and customs. Sometimes mock elopements are also arranged. Gonds have pro-fertility mentality. Divorces, remarriages, widow marriages, marriages with the wives of the brothers and between brothers and sisters are common. In the event of the death of the husband the widow can marry the younger brother and in all cases he need not be unmarried. She also can marry the elder brother of the deceased husband or any one else. Dowry system is also existing among them. But the groom has to pay bridal price to the father of the girl and this system gives respect to women and held their position on top.

Adventure Trails in Sikkim, Goecha La Trekk


For those who are looking for excitement plus adventure nothing can match the view of the Himalayan Mountains, which seem to touch the sky. As the adventurer passes his way through a mountain trek, he establishes an easy relationship with nature. Trekkers in Sikkim will be spell bounded by the profusion of plants and flowers. Great tracts of virgin forests and deep river valleys, offering views of ancient monasteries such as Pemayangtse and Tashiding and the attractive but rapidly developing hamlet of Pelling, characterize the beautiful region of Western Sikkim. The old capital, Yoksum, lies at the start of the trail towards Dzongri and Kanchenjunga.

On the far west, along the border with Nepal, the watershed of the Singalila range rises along a single ridge, with giants such as Rathong and Kabru culminating in Kanchenjunga itself. Although only one high altitude trek is currently available, several low altitude treks, free from trekking restrictions, provide tremendous opportunities for trekkers to enjoy the terraced landscapes, waterfalls and forests. No more than a few dozen Americans trek in Sikkim each year. Tucked between Nepal and Bhutan. Trekking by foreigners is strictly limited to only a few routes, in guided groups only. The best (and most popular) trail leads from the village of Yuksum to a 16,400 foot pass, Guucha La, which lies directly beneath the main summit of 28,000-foot Kanchenjunga, third highest peak in the world. The out-and-back route, which takes about ten days to negotiate, passes through Phedang, Dzongri, and Jemathang.
