Summary: I had an excellent experience doing the Kuari Pass Trek in October 23! My guide Tenzin was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the 9 days. He made me feel very comfortable from our first meeting. The food throughout was fantastic thanks to Calu the chef. I actually thought despite the trekking I might gain weight with all of glorious food on offer. :-) The trek was well organised from start to finish, our driver Sanjai was friendIy and sensible on the roads, always felt safe and they had the write equipment for all scenarios. I would highly recommend red chilli for anyone planning an adventure trip in India. Lastly a huge thanks to Vipin and the office staff for organising onward travel and activities after the trek.

Summary: TL,DR: super cool trek offered by a very professional company! Challenging, with a wide variety of landscapes and the possibility of reaching a summit of more than 4800 m. Top notch team and service! --- I have some mountain trekking experiences (without a guide) in Europe and I was looking for a new challenging experience in the Himalayas. Traveling alone and not knowing the region well, I preferred to contact a company. So this is the first time I've participated in an organized trek and I'm delighted! It was also the first time I completed a 4000m, and it was an incredible experience! The Kuari Pass Trek offered by Red Chilli Adventure (RCA hereinafter) is a 9-day trek (7 walking and 2 to get there and back). The first two days of walking are lighter and aim to warm up and test yourself. The 3rd and 4th days are longer and require more energy and endurance: the slopes are steep and the sun and heat make walking difficult. The 5th day is the crossing of the Kuari pass, and gives a breathtaking view of snow-capped peaks, which have gone unnoticed until now. The 6th day (optional) is a day where we have the opportunity to climb Pangarchulla, which peaks at +/-4800m above sea level (this requires a lot of energy). RC is probably one of the only companies to offer this climb and it is definitely worth it. Finally the last day is that of the descent and is shorter. Although some passages are in the forest, most of the time we still have an impressive view of the surrounding valleys. I did this trek at the beginning of October: at this time, it is still (very) hot and sunny but the nights are still slowly cooling down. It's good to have warmer clothes, but you won't (presumably) have to deal with snow. I was very well surrounded by Vipin (the founder of the company), Sahdev (my great guide), as well as Kalu (the chef who manages to create culinary miracles in the mountains) and the horseman and his horses (all strong!). They form a great team, very attentive and full of surprises. Details regarding the accompanying team: it is made up of locals who know the region very well, which is a real asset. Given that it is organized, it is normal that the days and the route are fixed to facilitate the organization and cope with certain constraints, but I think they will listen if you want to adapt the trek somewhat (distance, pace, etc.) Finally, the price is justified given the preparation, the team, the trek itself, and the good meals. Also, walking in a small group (or even very small as in my case) is a quality because you will have more opportunity to walk at your own pace and chat with the team with whom you will create a real relationship! This will be less the case in cheaper treks where the groups are much larger, and which also only offer a simplified version of the trek. Many thanks again to the entire Red Chilli Adventures team who do a remarkable job!
