Being USA citizen going on solo trek in India was bit concerning for my family. However I had the best experience with Bikat on Rupin pass trek. Highly qualified trek lead and friendly trek guide made the trek really enjoyable. Thanks, Vishal Sir & Jewry Bhagyashree and team for making this trip memorable.
