When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Can you ever imagine hot gulab jamuns, kheer and a variety of salivating dishes on such a high altitude? Can you ever imagine getting back to our childhood playing a lot of indoor and outdoor games and having loads of fun on the mountains? If you can't, then you should register your next trek with EKA EXPERIENCES.
My experience with Eka Experiences Team is such a memorable one that I would highly recommend to all my friends and family in the future. Their service, hospitality and their expertise is remarkable. The whole team made us all feel at home, taking care of all our needs. We were 12 in our batch from different locations and backgrounds having different perspectives, but our trek leader, Mr. Indrajit Hazra addressed all our concerns, motivated us from time to time and made us all complete our trek successfully. Hats off to his dedication, patience, passion for his profession and his love for mountains.
The guides were super friendly, helpful and kind. I would like to mention a particular incident at this juncture. On day 2 on our way to Visansar, we all got drenched in heavy rains and reached the camp site, shivering in damp clothes and got into our tents, not wanting to get out for anything. I was literally moved, when one of our guides, Mr. Arif, who guided and accompanied us all the way, brought and served us all hot tea in our tents, still drenching in the incessant rain outside. I am sure each and every one of us blessed him for his kind gesture and will never forget that kind soul.
There is absolutely no doubt that Kashmir Great Lakes is a very beautiful trek with huge meadows, majestic mountains and pristine lakes that you will cherish the memories forever. But to make that experience hassle free, fun filled, comfortable, totally safe and satisfactory, make a wise choice by choosing EKA EXPERIENCES for your next trek and have a wonderful time!

Did the ‘Nomad trails of Changthang Plateau in Ladakh’ curated by “Eka Experiences” during July 2022, in which we trekked from Tso kar to Tso Moriri lake.
Thanks to the efforts put in by Indrajeet and Abhilash in organizing this trek, plus the amazing views offered by nature along the way, the 10 days spent in the cold wilderness turned out to be quite a memorable trip.
Right from guiding the team members during the preparation stage, to food, tents & other misc amenities during the trek, every minute detail was well taken care of. Everybody’s fitness levels were constantly monitored and appropriate actions were taken as required. We also faced our share of rough weather conditions along the way - unexpected rains, strong winds etc. But the EKA group was well equipped for handling these conditions & ensured that we had a smooth sailing.
This review will not be complete without mentioning the numerous fun filled hours that we spent in the dining tent. Full credit to Jeet for keeping us engaged with different games, group activities, stories, anecdotes etc etc. The sessions were an absolute blast & I think I speak for everybody when I say that those sessions energized us and made us forget the tiresome travels of the day.
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.

For 6 years, i dreamt of visiting sikkim and it was finally realised with eka experiences. To truly connect with a place it is important to spend time with the people that belong there. In all we stayed in 4 homestays. First about eka experiences, it is a partnership of two young passionate trekkers who decided they wanted to give people offbeat, connected to the people culturally, close to nature experiences. It is besides us to take a pre planned itinerary and just go along with it especially with people we had never met. Yet, it felt right. After having spoken with Abhirup on the phone we finally went on a long journey and landed in yuksom where we met his partner and avid trekker Indrajeet. Indrajeet is a warm, honest and a genuinely nice guy. He is passionate about what he does. Throughout the trip Indrajeet was our anchor,guide, and my sons only friend. Our trip was hectic since we spent about a day and a half at each homestay. Some were great finds and I would love to visit them again but one in particular left us rather miffed and disappointed. I think if we had more time we could have had a better itinerary, one that was fulfilling and not so tiring. But we did have some really amazing days. What really struck a cord with us was Indrajeets constant attention and care, our driver norbu who was extremely patient and understood when we needed to take breaks for my son who suffers from motion sickness. The families in yuksom and khecheopalri were especially very caring, welcoming and warm. Pelling homestay too had its own charm. Abhirup and Jeet have obviously great rapport with the hosts which in turn made our experience memorable.
For us, it is the people that we will come back for. My advise is to give each village or town you visit at least 3 days to really soak it all in and also to avoid over exhaustion from all the car drives to and fro. If it is a long trip do check for laundry services.
People love their land here and are genuinely nice and peaceful. Even though we had a few hiccups, For our first trip, we are glad we chose Eka experiences and I am grateful to Indrajeet for being by our side,constantly ensuring our needs were met and we were comfortable. If you are looking for a curated trip to sikkim then Eka experiences is your answer. Awaiting our next adventure to the north east soon.

Our goal was to check out the unexplored, offbeat Kashmir along with the tourist favourites. And Eka Experiences™ has delivered beautifully.
The A to Z of my trip was personally curated by Eka Experiences™
On Day 1 we were welcomed by a beautiful houseboat on the pristine Nigeen Lake. If you ever want to see grandeur made of wood, spend a night here.
The next few days were spent exploring Srinagar, local cuisine, spices, fruits and crafts.
The next gem of the trip was a short hike along the river Trail of Naranaag Valley. Imagine walking alongside a never ending gushing blue stream, nomad huts and oh! 800 year old temple ruins. The day ended with a homely lunch at a local's home.
Then off we went to Pahalgam to gear up for our trek to Kanimarg and Baisaran. Our trek guide was nothing short of an amazing man and a friend in need.
The trip ended with a stay at a wooden lodge at the best homestay at Aru Valley. 'Kahwa' (local drink), sunset, music and piping hot food for the night.

Cannot think of a better way to experience beauty of Kashmir up close than by trekking through its meadows and mountains. I was fortunate to go on the KGL trek with a group of wonderful friends and happy to say the experience crafted by the EKA team was truly memorable.
Our trek lead Indrajit Hazra is passionate about the outdoors and his enthusiasm is contagious. He not only gave us the technical advice on how to trek safely, but a lot of contextual info like the history and significance of the trail. This was my second trek with Indrajit, and safe to say this wont be my last. The guides Farooq and Niyaaz were strong and courteous and gave us confidence they had our back. The landscape was stunning and the photographers in our group had all the freedom to shoot their masterpieces. We were not rushed or pressured at all.
The facilities provided by Eka during the trek was top class. The tents were clean and large not cramped at all for 2. The sleeping bags were clean. The food was top class - delicious, healthy with a variety of dishes, including yummy desserts, across the days. We had a dining table with chairs, cutlery was provided and we didnt have to do the washing which was a first for me. Heck we even had an option to use an upright seat in the loo tent. Truly a 5 star experience in the great outdoors. Eka took care of all the details and we just enjoyed the trek without any worries. Kudos to them. This attention to detail is what I think sets Eka apart from the other names in this space, and I wish them all the deserved success. My future treks are of course with them.

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. Their collective knowledge of offbeat destinations ensured that we did the trek at the right time and were well taken care of throughout the trek. The team was very warm and kind. A special mention to the cook (Pramod) who was part of the troop. He made sure we had the best food on the trek. Indrajit and Abhirup are onto something here. Carving niche experiences within an industry thats 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. Will it be Gurez valley or Khopra ridge?

We, a group of 13 persons (including 9 female members) from Jamshedpur, Bangalore & Mumbai, went with Eka on the Buran Ghati Pass trek last month. It was an extremely exciting, thrilling and adventurous trip with lots of fun too (with evening games). The whole trek was very well planned, coordinated and conducted by Eka (thanks to Indrajit and his able team) and we all were very well taken care of (including the delicious hot meals served at the end of the day trek). Eka team, many times, went out of the way to help team members to compete the trek on difficult terrain and we all completed it in safe manner. Looking forward to the next trek with Eka team once again. I wish them all the best.

I met Indrajit when I went on my first high attitude trek in India's Goechala Trek at year 2018 Oct. He is our trek leader, and I have mostly positive memories of the trek. He is a person of professionalism, expertise, knowledge, compassion, caution, and excitement.
I still remember he constantly reminding us to drink 2L of water every day in order to stay hydrated and avoid high attitude sickness. As a safety measure, he also uses an oximeter to monitor our oxygen levels. Aside from that, he always shares information about Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), trekking stories, and so on. We never get bored on the trek, and he always makes us (trekkers) bond. This trek has left a lasting impression on me.
The most I admire in him is his patience, positivity, and encouragement to ensure that all of us, including the new trekker, complete the mission and reach the summit.

Eka is a group of passionate mountaineers with a desire to provide warm and comfortable experience to the trekkers.
I know Indrajit since 2019 when I went to Goecha La trek with him. I have genuine respect for him as he is an amazing well qualified leader who takes his role and responsibilities very seriously. Whenever I speak to him, I cannot help but notice his enthusiasm for being in the mountains and to be able to give people safe and enjoyable experiences.
My experience at Goecha La was extremely good, especially with a group where most of the people didn't know each other and half of the people were from outside India. He made sure the people connected well like a family starting from day 1.
I went to Kashmir Great Lakes in Aug'22. Unfortunately, I couldn't go with EKA but luckily our trek dates matched so I was travelling and camping with them almost every day and I saw their arrangements and met their group almost everyday.
In my opinion, the comfort, personalization, attention to details and passion to provide the best experience to the trekkers was something that is not matched by other companies I know at the moment. My next trek will be with them 100% and I will recommend them to everyone I know.

The experience with EKA was memorable to the heart, never seen the Trip Guide became so caring and so friendly like Indrajeet. Starting from comfortable commutes to cozy stays, and delicious food at those remote locations made our journey memorable. The endless stories and entertaining games made the trek so effortless, also the well co-ordinated guide and trek leader made our 44 km journey like a peace of cake. The trail we walked was the best and away from all the noise and polution of our urban life. In conclusion it was one of the best trekking experience I had and I'm very much thankful to EKA for such wonderful experience. Looking forward for more..✌️✌️✌️
