Kalindi Khal Trek, Sept. 2021
Advait Outdoors, a trekking company founded by Rohit and Lalit has become a default choice for me to go on any trek. Especially when it is something that is considered one of the toughest as Kalindi Khal, my recent trek. After completion, I was pleased with my decision.After this trek with Lalit and another one with Rohit (Pin Parvati Pass) in which we had to face severely adverse weather, my confidence in them and Advait Outdoors, have grown many bounds.

Prashant C ChaturvediMountaineer and Writer

Hi all, Being mountain lovers, we decided to do our first trek to Sandhakphu Phalut , Since the climb was less steeper and the terrain flat n scenic to our comfort. Ideally such treks could feel monotonous due to lengthy walks, but thanks to our trek leader Rohit, that everything seemed perfect.
He was patient, smiling, timebound, helpful and extremely respectful towards the group. He made sure everything was perfect, specially the safety and the food. Had a very nice experience with him. Love to go on a trek with him again.
Thank u Rohit for being a perfect leader.

SuriyaActor

I did Sandhakphu Phalut Trek with Rohit,
Had a wonderful experience with him. He takes care of all the aspects and had every emergency item carried in his bag pack for all of us (group of 8) including candies too. We heard some of his adventurous stories about his previous treks which made us wanna trek again. Very rarely do we come across youngsters with utmost maturity, principles intact and true to their job. Rohit was all of that. If we do travel soon again, we would definitely contact him to be our leader again. Thank u Rohit for your perfect leadership and guidance
