I recently completed the Srinagar–Leh–Ladakh trip organized by Himalayan Edges SkiTrek Travel, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish.

The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, allowing us to enjoy the stunning beauty of Ladakh while acclimatizing comfortably. The accommodations were clean and comfortable, transportation was reliable, and every aspect of the trip was managed professionally.

A special thanks to Mr. Taj Irshad, whose personal involvement made a significant difference. He was always available, took great care of our group, and ensured that all arrangements were handled smoothly throughout the journey. His dedication, attention to detail, and genuine concern for our comfort and well-being were truly appreciated.

The drivers and support team were courteous, experienced, and knowledgeable about the region, making the trip safe, enjoyable, and stress-free. From Srinagar to Leh and the breathtaking landscapes of Ladakh, every moment was memorable.

I highly recommend Himalayan Edges SkiTrek Travel to anyone planning a Ladakh and Srinagar adventure. Thank you, Mr. Taj Irshad and the entire team, for creating an unforgettable travel experience and wonderful memories that we will cherish for years to come.

I had an incredible skiing experience with Himalayan Edges in Gulmarg. The team was highly professional, friendly, and made sure everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The instructors were patient, knowledgeable, and focused on safety while making skiing fun and enjoyable.

The ski equipment was in excellent condition, and the guidance throughout the trip was exceptional. Their local knowledge of Gulmarg helped us experience the best snow and the most beautiful ski runs.

If you’re planning a ski trip to Kashmir, I highly recommend Himalayan Edges. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced skier, they provide world-class service, expert instruction, and unforgettable memories.

Thank you, Team Himalayan Edges, for an amazing adventure. I can’t wait to return for another skiing season.

Hope I am not too late to leave a review. Taj Bhai, you are a rockstar.

This was my second trip with Taj Bhai and his team and it was without a doubt an amazing experience. The hotels were arranged perfectly, especially the second time in Gulmarg.

The way Taj Bhai made the itinerary was excellent. The arrangements were smooth, and every part of the trip was handled by Taj Bhai personally. As the last time, we felt really very safe and like a family.

I would always recommend Taj Bhai to anyone planning a Kashmir trip, especially Gulmarg. And Taj Bhai, I will see you hopefully in the coming winter.

Had the most amazing experience with Taj and Nakasha. They take care of each and everything, from airport pickup to drop-off. I was a solo traveller, and they specifically took care of me from the beginning to the end of the trip.

My ski instructor was Akbar sir, the best I could get. Not only is he a great instructor, but also an amazing photographer.

Thank you for an amazing and unforgettable experience. I will book again next year.

Hands down the best travel agency for exploring Leh Ladakh. The landscapes were breathtaking, but what made the trip truly special was the effortless coordination by Himalayan Edges. Fantastic stays, smooth transit through the passes, and super supportive local guides who looked after us throughout.

Thank you, team, for making this dream trip seamless and unforgettable. Highly recommended.

First trip to Gulmarg

This was our first trip to Gulmarg. Taj helped us plan everything from start to end — transfers, accommodation, skiing, meals and other adventure sports — in such a fantastic way, making the trip super memorable. He also seamlessly accommodated any last-minute changes in plans, as we were a big group of 14 people.

We’ll most certainly come back to Kashmir, Gulmarg particularly, to enjoy the majestic views and ski with Himalayan Edges. I wish we were there longer. Four days felt too short.

I’d also like to call out Javed, my ski instructor, who taught me the basics so incredibly well. I felt so comfortable and confident, all thanks to him. I can’t wait to learn more.

Dear Taj Bhai and Akbar Bhai, thank you so much for your incredible patience and expert guidance on the slopes. Your tips completely transformed my confidence and my wife’s, and I had an amazing time learning to ski. We can’t wait to come back.

Himalayan Edges, thank you for curating such a seamless and magical winter experience. From the logistics to the incredible local insights, every detail of the tour was flawless. We will definitely be booking with you again.

Second trip to Gulmarg

This was my second trip to Gulmarg arranged by Himalayan Edges. My first experience with them was so wonderful that I didn’t even consider booking with anyone else this time.

Irshad bhai, who runs Himalayan Edges, took care of everything, from the moment we landed in Srinagar to our departure. We were a group of 11 people, all eager to learn skiing and experience the local culture, and every one of us left that beautiful place with unforgettable memories and warmth.

Irshad bhai truly went above and beyond to make our trip special. He arranged some of the best ski instructors, gave excellent recommendations on experiences around Gulmarg, and never once said no to anything we wished to do. His warmth and hospitality made the entire trip exceed our expectations.

If you wish to experience Kashmir in its most authentic way, with incredible skiing, local insights, and unmatched hospitality, Himalayan Edges is undoubtedly the best choice.

I really enjoyed the experience and would recommend this company to anyone who wants to go skiing. Seriously, it was an amazing experience with Himalayan Edges, and especially Taj Bhai. The arrangements were the best, from airport pickup to hotel bookings. The best place for a first-time ski experience, and the most reliable trainers.

We had an excellent experience with Himalayan Edges and felt absolutely at home. The owner, Taj Bhai, was superb in his politeness and hospitality. The tour was well organised from start to end, and he took care of each aspect: clean cars with cooperative drivers, good accommodations with food packages, and every minute detail worked out with precision. I will visit again in the near future.
