On my last Dayara Bugyal Stargazing Trek, there was a trekker named Tanvi who was diagnosed with Multiple Sceloris (an auto-immune disease which affects the nervous system and the condition deteroriates over time). She is a strong willed person and has done trekked in the past. This was the first time she was trekking with Indiahikes. 

She was mostly at the back of the group but with a lot of positivity. She never missed out on any experience or any of the learnings despite the harsh weather conditions or staying up late. She even motivated her husband for the final summit push, since he was scared of heights.

I was impressed by this eagerness to learn despite so many challenges for her. In our team only Yashika (Assistant Trek Leader) and I were aware that she had Multiple Sclerosis. After the debriefing, we gave her the Spirit of Trekking badge due to her resilience, determination, curiosity to learn and be a great team player. She was really happy and told that this small badge can inspire many other people having the same illness.

After the trek, the bought Carl Sagan's book 'Cosmos' (she got to know of this from our conversations during the Stargazing sessions). Even now she has been sharing information from the book with the other trekkers on the WhatsApp group.

Her story was shared on a community which inspires people with Multiple Sceloris to lead a normal life by sharing stories like this. 

"Delhi MS Connect (MSSI Delhi) is proud to introduce Tanvi Chaturvedi, an inspiration to people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) worldwide. Her grit and determination are qualities we can all learn from. 

👉 Here’s a glimpse into her incredible journey.

Tanvi, a Technical Lead at Walmart, is passionate about cycling 🚴‍♀️ , trekking, and running 🏃‍♀️ , with trekking being her greatest love. 

However, in 2017, her life took a challenging turn ↪️ when she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), affecting her strength, balance, and ability to walk. 

The diagnosis later progressed to the second stage of Relapse-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS). Despite these obstacles, Tanvi never stopped seeking ways to motivate herself.

Tanvi wrapped up 2024 with yet another feat—a trek to Dayara Bugyal (11,380 ft) with India Hikes, where she was honoured with the prestigious "Spirit of Trekking" badge. 🏅 

A well-known mantra exists in the multiple sclerosis (MS) community. “𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐭.”

Tanvi has conquered MS more than the height of 11,380 ft of Dayara Bugyal, she continues to face the mountains of MS with courage and determination, inspiring all of us to persevere against life’s toughest peaks."

She shared this message with me; "My story was shared there. Look how the support and gesture from you and the leaders have gone length in inspiring people like me! Glad to have met you - a beautiful heart!"

On my last Dayara Bugyal Stargazing Trek (Siddharth, Yashika and Om came with me on the trek as well), there was a lady named Tanvi who was diagnosed having Multiple Sceloris (an auto immune disease which affects the nervous system) and the condition detoriates over time. She is a strong willed person and has done some trek in the past. This was the first time she was trekking with us.

The Indiahikes Summer Camp aligns with the Adventurous Journey of the IAYP programme.

They develop teamwork, leadership, and resilience while navigating trails, camping, and engaging with nature—fulfilling all the requirements of the IAYP Adventurous Journey.

You are joining our waitlist. Here are a few guidelines that you should keep in mind:

The chances of getting a confirmed slot totally depend on the cancellations we receive from confirmed trekkers. The cancellations cannot be predicted hence are uncertain.

We close the movement of the waitlist 7-15 days before the trek starts.

You don't have to pay right now. You will receive a notification upon confirmation of your slot. You will have 24 hours to pay and confirm your booking.

We are known for our pioneering safety practices in trekking. Microspikes, oximeters, and BP checks became standards thanks to us. In the mountains, emergencies don't care who you're with—everyone knows that when trouble hits, you look for the yellow tents of Indiahikes. When you join our treks, we first make our No-Compromise Safety Promise. It’s our unwavering commitment to keep you safe, no matter what.

Our No-Compromise Safety Promise

Our commitment to the environment is relentless. We don’t just encourage responsible trekking; we insist on it. That’s why our Green Trails principles are non-negotiable. They don’t involve just our trekkers or our staff members. Our entire trek processes and policies are designed to favour the environment, even if it is often counterintuitive to our business.

Our No-compromise Sustainability promise

More than 30,000 trekkers trek with us every year. In addition, our outdoor learning division (InSoul) has participants from the who’s of the education organisation in India, from the IIMs to BITS to top international schools. More than 5,000 participants from these institutions trek with us annually. We do not spend a single rupee on advertising to get these participants. Our reputation precedes us.

We are India’s largest trekking organisation

We are pioneers in trekking. Since 2007, we have documented and brought out most of India’s famous treks: Roopkund, Rupin Pass, Buran Ghati, Kedarkantha, Kashmir Great Lakes, Tarsar Marsar, Phulara Ridge—the list goes on. In 2023-24 alone, we brought out nine new treks in Indian trekking. We know treks better than anyone. This comes directly from the reason why Indiahikes was born: to bring out trek information and enable trekkers to trek on their own. We believe everyone must trek.

Being pioneers of trekking in India

We focus on designing transformative experiences. Our trek leaders conduct thought-provoking exercises that help you reflect and contemplate. This impact stays with you for a long time. Trekkers return feeling energised, more confident, or developing abilities to deal with difficulties. Many have changed careers, rethought their core values, become more humble, shown gratitude to others, or started a new fitness journey. 

Our treks are transformative

5 Reasons Why Indiahikes

Trekking in the Himalayas comes with challenges such as heavy rain, roadblocks, floods, landslides, and permit restrictions imposed by the government. These situations are not within Indiahikes' control. 

Before you register, please be prepared for the possibility that your trek might be called off due to these uncontrollable factors. In such cases, Indiahikes will make every effort to offer you a safe alternative trek. If that isn't possible, we will cancel your trek and issue a voucher for the trek fee in line with our standard cancellation policy.

However, if you would like to receive a full refund of your fee under such circumstances, opt for the Indiahikes Shield while registering. This shield grants you the option to receive a refund in case your trek is cancelled due to external reasons. 

Why you should opt for Indiahikes Shield 

Security concerns and government orders often lead to last-minute cancellations in Jammu & Kashmir. While we make all the preparations to run the trek, we cannot guarantee that the trek will run. If such a situation occurs, we will try to organize an alternate trek within J&K or Himachal Pradesh, wherever possible. If not, we will cancel the trek and our cancellation policy will apply.

Such circumstances are under nobody's control, but it's best to be well-prepared.  As trekkers ourselves, we understand the loss that you go through when such circumstances arise. To protect against such circumstances, we have the Indiahikes Shield - where you can avail a return of your full trek fee by paying a small additional charge.  

We suggest you opt for the Indiahikes Shield, which will protect your trek fee during such uncertainties. You will find the option during the registration process.

Why you must opt for Indiahikes Shield on Kashmir Treks

When you offload, a mule or porter will carry your belongings.

Offloading is for those with injuries, health issues or other limitations

Book via Your Profile after trek registration. 

We will provide you with a weather-resistant kit bag to transfer your belongings.

The kitbag will be carried by mules or porters.

You will not need a backpack if you're offloading. However, you will need a small day pack.

Find details about the Indiahikes Offloading Process here.

At Indiahikes, we strongly believe that children must trek. Children aged 14 and below qualify for a 30% trek fee scholarship. Check out this article to learn more.


For every ten adult members (aged 15 and above) of the group, we waive off the trek fee for one person. Indiahikes will reimburse the said trek fee after you complete your trek.
