About Us

The moot idea behind organising such travels is to give a better perspective of The Himalayas, its denizens, culture, traditions, organic foods,and most importantly the abundance of rich flora and fauna the place harbours. Recently travelling has evolved in many a way than just going to places and ticking off the bucket list. Unless you experience things in your own way and term, the purpose of travelling is minced somewhat. Travelling is less to do with your knowledge you have garnered through reading and hearing, it lies in how much you have sidelined those while experiencing things yourself. How much you have learned during course of travelling is what matters the most. Let your hair down, get into a small talk with the lady in the kitchen, have a wholesome laugh with the kids who you meet enroute, aware of the problems of the villages you visit, spend some time mingling into their cultures, have had time with people working in their agriculture field, and respect nature by being a responsible traveller are some of things considered most real and aesthetic.

You have to actually leave behind the cities and its ideas when you come to mountain. Actually means mentally and physically.

The Khaliya Top is a meandering meadow surrounded by snowy peaks, offering an awe-inspiring view of the mystical land of Kumaun. The Khaliya Top is perched at an astonishing altitude of 3500 metres above sea level and located near Munsiyari in Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand.
One can savour the panoramic views of the majestic Panchachuli, Rajrambha, Hardeol and Nanda Kot peaks from the Khaliya Top. It is one of the popular treks as the trekkers can savour the awe-inspiring views of the Panchachuli and Nanda Devi Range. The Khaliya Top can be easily approached by covering an easy gradient of 6 km from Balanti Farm. This trek allows the hikers to see the snowline in early summer. If you are a keen animal photographer then you may find yourself in luck as this place is a home to varied bird and animals species such as Monal, Ghurar, Kakar, yellow troated marten and Baral (mountain goat). Spring season is the best time for this trek as the rhododendrons bloom in the region, making the jungle fiery red. The scent of the dwindling pines, old oaks, spruce and cypress will mesmerise you.
