Hello!

My name is Himani Kubadia. I had attended the Har Ki Dun trek on 29th September to 5th October. It was a wonderful trek. It’s food, services and other arrangements were awesome. It’s a valley of God and yes I can say that it’s true!  Actually I was alone from Ahmedabad. I hadn’t my own group but at Dehradun I met the other trekkers of my group we were six and a guide, name Pawan Rawat. In my group there were two ladies including me and four boys we all were from different cities and different culture. But I didn’t felt that I’m around unknown people so we six started our journey towards Har Ki Dun. And the route was like Sankri-Taluka-Osla-Har Ki Dun base camp- Har Ki Dun. And the return rout was also the same. We faced heavy rain at the first day of trek to Osla and the last day was the same while we were returning from Osla. But we were lucky that we got clear weather at Har Ki Dun. We had seen every season their like rain, cold and snow on the top. It was like WOW! It was such a wonderful trip Anala had kept safety of the trekkers on the top and the other thing like food, stay was awesome so they haven’t done any compromise in giving such a qualitative service and trip. But at one point I’m little bit disappointed that was guide that Pawan Rawat. He was such a nice guy and was guiding us. He had given us a full details of trek on the first day and told some stories and his experience about Har Ki Dun trek. But I felt that he is just doing his duty to be a safeguard of trekkers and to guide trekkers to reach Har Ki Dun trek nothing more than that. I felt that he was very straight and had lacked of communication because there was one lady with me and from Har Ki Dun base camp to Har Ki Dun she got tired and lost her confidence and strength both so she told to Pawan that she can’t do it anymore and she was just 20 mins far from Har Ki Dun so Pawan said OK! I mean he even tried to motivate her or not tried to inform her that there is only 20mins way you can do it! He just told OK YOU CAN GO BACK IF YOU WANT TO! Ohh come on yarr! everyone needs two motivational words to do anything it helps a lot but he didn’t. And other company’s guide had motivated her and gave encouragement to reach and she did it. So he has a lack of communication skill nothing else he didn’t speak or tried to motivate/encourage her. So this bothered me at some point. I think he was new that’s why we faced this and everyone has felt this thing. But overall it was a wonderful trip for me. Thank you very much Anala Outdoors and team for giving such a qualitative trip. And a big thanks to Jigna Pandya (from Anala team) for suggesting me such a wonderful place for trekking.

Thank you.
Himani Kubadia.
