Tour Reviews
For an amateur trekker like me, this trek was the best first trek I could ask for, Right from coordinating in Chennai regarding the things to be brought to the trek, to the preparation and training required to climb the mountains, GetUpAndGo was outstanding. Special mention to the guides during our trek for encouraging and pushing us to do our best. The food provided during the trek was out of the world and never gave us a chance to miss home food, Definitely going back for another trek with GetUpAndGo
I loved the trek . It was by far the most thrilling and demanding experience of my life. Arjan exactly knows everyone potential and his training and organizing were perfect. The luxury treatment and food was amazing. The group would even make snacks while we walked
so thoughtful . If your someone with a decent fitness level and have love for the mountains this is the best company and the best trek you must try. I am definitely doing another climb with Arjan and his group of guides. They are simply fantastic.
Its gonna be hard for me to express the immense satisfaction I felt after trekking in such beautiful terrain in words, cause an experience like this can only be felt upon undertaking the challenge. In my personal opinion this wouldn’t have be such a joyful experience without the amazing guidance, help and warmth offered to us by the amazing people at GetUpandGo. A definite must try from my side!👌🏻👍🏻
