About Trekup India – Himalayan Trekking Experts Since 1993
Story Of Trekup India by Our Founder Preetam Singh Rawat!
The Story
I grew up in Sankari, a small village in Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand - what many now call the trekking hub of India. Surrounded by towering peaks, pine forests, and trails that seemed to lead to another world. The mountains weren’t just scenery for me; they were my playground, my teacher, and my home. I watched trekkers arrive from across India, their faces lighting up as they saw the Himalayas for the first time.
The Beginning
In 1993, my family started the Himalaya Trekker Association Trekkers Samiti Sankari with one mission - help people experience the magic of these mountains safely and meaningfully. As the second generation, I carried this legacy forward, and in 2016, Trekup India was officially born.
The Journey
For over 28 years, we’ve explored, searched, and introduced some of India’s most iconic treks - Kedarkantha, Har Ki Dun, Rupin Pass, Bali Pass, Baraadsar Lake, Dhamdhar Kandi Pass, and more. Today, most treks that begin from Sankari trace the routes we pioneered.
The Vision
Our promise is simple - high standards, Safety, deep local knowledge, and heartfelt hospitality. Whether you’re a first time trekker or a seasoned mountaineer, we craft journeys that leave you with more than just photographs - you return with stories, confidence, and a new way of seeing the world.
At Trekup India, we don’t just guide you through the mountains - we welcome you into our home. The trails are ready. The peaks are waiting. The adventure begins here.

Our Vision - Inspiring People to Explore the Himalayas
At Trekup India, our mission has always been simple yet powerful – to inspire people to step outside, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and experience the magic of the Himalayas. For us, trekking is not just about reaching a summit; it’s about the journey, the people you meet along the way, and the connection you build with nature. We believe that the mountains have a way of transforming lives. They teach you patience when the climb gets tough, resilience when the weather turns unpredictable, and humility when you stand before nature’s grandeur. Each trek is a chance to break away from the noise of everyday life and rediscover yourself in the stillness of the wild.
Through our carefully curated treks, we aim to make the Himalayan treks accessible to everyone – from first time trekkers looking for a gentle introduction to trekking adventure, to seasoned explorers seeking new challenges. We focus on safety, sustainable trekking practices, and creating experiences that leave lasting memories. For us, inspiration comes from seeing the sparkle in a trekker’s eyes after their first sunrise in the mountains, the laughter around a campsite, and the bonds formed over shared trails and stories. Every person who returns from a trek carries a piece of the Himalayas in their heart – and that’s how we know we’ve done our job. At Trekup India, we invite you to take that first step into the unknown. The mountains are calling, and we are here to guide you. Whether you seek adventure, peace, or a fresh perspective on life, the outdoors has something to offer you – and we can’t wait to be a part of your journey.
