About Himalayan Serenity Travel — Adi Kailash Yatra Specialists in Pithoragarh, Kumaon Himalaya
Born in the Kumaon Himalaya
We are not travel agents who sell the Himalayas. We are people who grew up in them.
Our Story
Home, Not a Destination
We were born and raised in Pithoragarh, Uttarakhand — the same town where your journey into Eastern Kumaon begins.
These mountains are not a product for us. They are home. The routes to Adi Kailash, the villages of Darma Valley, the high passes above Munsiyari — we have known them since childhood, long before they appeared on any travel website.
Himalayan Serenity Travel was founded with one simple belief: that the people who live closest to these mountains should be the ones who guide you through them.
For too long, Eastern Kumaon's most sacred and spectacular destinations — Adi Kailash, Om Parvat, Parvati Sarovar, Darma Valley — were handled by operators based in Delhi or Dehradun who had never actually walked the routes they were selling. Pilgrims arrived at high altitude unprepared. Permits were delayed. Groups were too large. The trip that should have mattered most to them became something they had to survive.
We started this company to change that.

Local Knowledge
Why Being Local to Pithoragarh Changes Everything
When you ask us about road conditions on the Dharchula–Gunji stretch, we know — because one of our team drove it last week.
When you ask which homestay in Gunji actually has warm water and good food, we know — because we have stayed there ourselves, not just read about it online.
When you ask about the Inner Line Permit process, we do not have to make calls to find out — we have processed over a hundred of them, directly with the District Magistrate's office in Pithoragarh.
This is the difference between a local operator and everyone else. No catalogue. No middlemen. No guesswork.
We live here. This is our backyard. And we want to share it with you properly.

What We Specialise In: Adi Kailash Yatra & Eastern Kumaon
Our Promise
What you can expect from us
Small groups — always.
We do not run large coaches of 40 people. Every expedition stays small enough that your guide knows your name, not just your booking number.
Safety first — not as a marketing line.
Thoughtfully planned. Safety-conscious. Discuss the route, altitude and any support you may need before booking; equipment and emergency arrangements must be confirmed for your specific journey.
Honest communication.
If a route is closed, we tell you. If weather looks bad, we tell you. We would rather reschedule your trip than put you at risk.
Full Inner Line Permit handling.
Inner Line Permits for Adi Kailash are complex, time-sensitive and frequently mishandled by outside operators. We manage the entire process — you do not need to follow up with any government office.
Local stays, local guides.
We use Pithoragarh and Kumaon-based guides, homestays and local services wherever possible. Your money stays in the community that hosts you.
Our approach
Rooted in the Himalayas. Guided by Care.
We create thoughtfully curated journeys through the Kumaon Himalaya, bringing travellers closer to its landscapes, living traditions and sacred heritage.
With intimate groups, personalised attention and a commitment to responsible travel, we believe the most meaningful journeys are experienced slowly, respectfully and authentically.
