What our clients say about it
I did the Gaumukh-Tapovan tour with JAPAM with guides Himanshu and Rahul. We were a group of 5 (3 clients; 2 guides). Had such an unforgettable experience. Our guides were truly awesome people. Great attitudes, very knowledgeable, and excellent cooks :) The trek was really beautiful, trekking down the valley surrounded by mountains and seeing the Gaumukh glacier. We were even lucky enough for some beautiful snow. Will definitely recommend JAPAM treks to friends, and I would definitely do another trek with them myself.
