We as a family had planned a trip to Irshadgarh fort, near Mumbai (Maharashtra) on 18th August, 2018. My husband & I and my daughters aged 15+ & 11+. We had heard of this group from friends and so engaged them for our trip.

I must say, it was a honour to meet both Umang and Sam -from Adventure pulse and also our guides for the trek. Both are extremely passionate mountaineers. Infact Sam has conquered Mt. Everest recently.

Before the trek, they had Briefed us very properly what to carry which turned out to be a very helpful advice.👍🏻

We started in the morning for the trek at around 6am. The mini - bus was right outside the building gate at sharp 6am as decided (punctuality 👍🏻).Reached the base camp by 8.15. A brief session by our guides as to the safety precautions, dos and donts & we started the trek.

Throughout the trek, they helped us wherever we got stuck. There was no hurry or rush at all from their side. We rested & clicked pictures as much as we wanted. Both Sam & Umang took good care to advice & help during the climb. Sam is really very experienced. Hats off to his patience.

On reaching the top we were given snack boxes which too were very generously packed with lot’s of stuff.

We reached back safely at around 12.30-1pm. It was a wonderful experience. I would highly-highly recommend this team. I would definitely engage their services again for any other future adventures.
Thank you adventure-pulse.

Keep up the good work Sam & Umang. You both rock.

"If you have got the attitude we have the altitude!".....a slogan used by the Adventure-Pulse team.

Looking for some extended walking in the wilderness I signed up for their Great Lakes Trek in Kashmir at the beginning of July. There was a bit of trepidation with regards to my fitness as the last multi day trek that I had undertaken was almost 30 years ago!
So several years on.... The prospect of not having to carry my own gear other than a day pack and my camera, being accompanied by a highly experienced mountaineer, with his well-coordinated team was a very attractive option. With pre trek training advice given and followed I set off, confidence renewed.
We were a small group of 6 walkers from different parts of India who gelled together well with easy camaraderie and many laughs. The evening UNO games were a hit!
It was a challenging walk at times. The altitude was one thing to be conscious of but more so as the weather threw every season at us including a bitterly cold sleet shower as we plodded up the snow field to cross the Nichnai Pass and having difficulty in the freezing rain whilst attempting the Gadsar Pass. One's own grit, the ever present encouragement, humour and kindness from Altaf and Sam kept us (and the ponies) going..... “śābāśa, śābāśa, śābāśa" (Bravo)!
The scenery was glorious, breathtaking at times and quite varied. I loved having the opportunity to walk at our own pace and this allowed me to photograph some of the beautiful plants and flowers en route. Meeting the hospitable local shepherds and savoring their brews of Kashmiri chai was another highlight!
Being guided and taken care of the ever enthusiastic Sam and Altaf was wonderful! I felt that I was in very good and experienced hands. Rahul, the man on the spot in Kashmir had assembled a good team with Sagar the cook who produced ample delicious and very welcome food, his assistant Irfan, Khan chacha and Rasheed, the 2 pony men. Everything was taken care of.
Indeed a memorable trip and one I would highly recommend along with the Adventure-Pulse Team.
