Hear from trekkers who've been there
"I had never trekked before and was terrified I would slow everyone down. The guides paced us perfectly. Standing at the summit watching the sunrise - I actually cried. Best decision of my life."
Priya Sharma
Software Engineer, Bangalore
"My parents were worried sick about me traveling solo. But YaatraExpress sent them daily updates, the guides carried oxygen and first aid. Never once felt unsafe. Now my dad wants to come next year!"
Arjun Kapoor
Marketing Manager, Mumbai
"I have done resort trips that cost 3x this much and felt nothing. ₹7,500 for views that made me forget my phone existed? The frozen lake, the snow peaks at sunrise - absolute steal."
Neha Singh
Data Analyst, Delhi
"As a doctor, I was skeptical about safety standards. Impressed by the first aid kit, oxygen availability, and guide certifications. Professional operation. The trek itself was magical."
