Trek and Climb with RAJA

New Year Trek 2023: Marchoi, Kashmir I am planning a short trek in Kashmir to welcome and embrace the New Year 2023. It is known as the Marchoi trek as the highest point of this trek is the Marchoi Mountain (3200m). However, the same peak is also referred to as the 'Shadimarg top.' This trail has gained popularity in recent years, particularly in the winter, because of its splendor and ease of access. I chose this trail not only to curate a ‘winter wonderland’ experience, but also to present the trekker the unparallel taste of standing atop a summit.

I am pretty confident that we will have the full calendar ready by the middle of November. As an experiment, ( a very exciting one for me) I am going to offer Hiking and Climbing in Kenya and Tanzania in 2022 . I hiked Kilimanajro back in 2005, climbed in the Rwenzoris (Uganda) in 2015 and climbed Nelion, Mt Kenya in early 2020. It would be wonderful to go back to Africa and guide a team there. In the Indian Himalaya, our calendar will have a range of expeditions to choose from with a choice for every moutaineering enthusiast- from the beginner to the more experienced. The Indian Himalaya is open and travelling across the Himalayan states is back to normal . Whether you are interested in climbing some of the most iconic mountains of the Indian Himalaya or would rather engage in some exploratory mountaineering- I welcome you to the I...
