TRAVEL REVIEWS AND TESTIMONIALS
"We had a great time during our West Sikkim trip and can absolutely recommend Eka for unique experiences far from the usual touristy crowd! The home stays were great and the families there were more than welcoming. Although we got surprised by rain, the organisers quickly adjusted the schedule so that we could still make the most out of the trip. From breathtaking mountains, lush green jungles, beautiful monasteries and amazing food (not to forget the traditional drink Chang 🙂 ), this trip really had everything!"
"Did the ‘Nomad trails of Changthang Plateau in Ladakh’ curated by Eka Experiences during July 2022...Right from guiding the team members during the preparation stage, to food, tents & other misc amenities...every minute detail was well taken care of...Full credit to Jeet for keeping us engaged with different games, group activities, stories, anecdotes etc etc. The sessions were an absolute blast..... Thank you Eka for providing such a wonderful experience. I am filled with happiness and gratitude when I remember those moments. Looking forward to planning the next outing with you guys."
"A group of us successfully completed the Kashmir Great lakes trek in July 2022 under the guidance of the Trek Guide, Indrajit and his very experienced support team. This trek is NOT for beginners. Its scale of difficulty ranges from moderate to difficult. This is one of the more challenging treks I hv done. Thanks Indrajit for everything that made this as very awesome experience for me and made us feel safe!. Looking forward to more treks with your company."
"..On high altitude Himalayan trek we are more concerned about safety than anything else....I was trekking with son and daughter. After interacting and discussing with Abhirup we were confident that we are in right hands. Soft spoken, energetic, dependable and best of all well qualified in mountaineering, high altitude crisis handling, emergency medication, etc. Assisted and treated my daughter when she fell sick on the first day itself. Kept whole trek group in good humour throughout and was continuosly sharing all information about the Himalayas, surrounding mountains...."
"they try to strike a balance between sticking to the targets and reaching the destination while making every bit of the journey filled with exciting experiences. You have the liberty to enjoy your solitude, yet have the opportunity to mingle and melt into a variegated group of people. They give you a holistic experience encompassing learning, adventure, thrill, cultural life, delicious local food, homestays, camping, scenic views and many more on the list.. The experience is unparalleled, transcendental. Guys, go and grab your own EKA experience!!"
"Abhirup is a very talented individual with an unparalleled understanding of the Himalayas, a keen star gazer and a very knowledgeable bird watcher too... Trekking with him as the leader is one of the best experiences one can have - he takes people high up on the alpine ranges but most importantly brings everybody back safely."
"Highly recommend Eka experiences for offbeat trails...recently been to the West Sikkim trail. Very well organized by Abhirup right from the transport, very good homestays in all places , amazing local cuisine and great trekking experiences. Would definitely love to do more adventures with Eka in future."
"...A wonderful person with a great experience. The treks are fun and adventurous. We went to such beautiful places which we could just dream of. Photos would not make enough justice to the places. The treks are well organised, on time, with all safety measures in place. We were taken care of the best we could get in such remote places. Abhirup was always around to help, to take care. We were checked each day of our health, of our vitals both before and after the trek. Overall a wonderful experience, which we can never forget!!"
"You know it's an incredible experience when it leaves an imprint on you. We did the Kashmir Great Lakes trek with Eka Experiences and i keep going back to it ever since I got back about a month back. The team at Eka experiences is experienced, quality centric and passionate about what they do....Indrajit and Abhirup are onto something here. Carving niche experiences within an industry that's crowded and easily motivated to provide substandard experiences in the race to scale their businesses. Eka experiences ensured that each trip is curated. Looking forward to our next trip. "
