Why Trek with HTC ?
Treks:
Treks require a lot of expertise and experience with terrain. Understanding the terrain well comes with experience. HTC has been leading treks since 2011, and all our trek leaders are well-trained.
Backend Team:
HTC boasts a strong backend team to assist our trek leaders, ensuring that every event goes according to plan.
Core Team:
All our treks are meticulously designed by our core team, which has over 15 years of experience navigating the Terrain.
Safety:
We understand that many newcomers may be attracted by lower prices. However, it’s essential to remember that the best trek must be completed safely. This safety comes at a cost, as you’re choosing a registered organization rather than just following a Instagram page. Remember, saying we are safe is different from actually following safety norms.
Free Suggestion:
Choose wisely. Your safety is paramount, whether you join HTC trek or not. It’s crucial to conduct basic research about the company or Instagram page you’re considering.
Costing:
As per company standards & No discounts.
