We did hampta pass trek on 2nd Oct 2014, our experience was awesome and all the hospitality provided by them was best.
We did Manali-Leh…it was great fun..nicely planned trip..full of adventure..liked Jai’s personal touch to all the activities..he is an excellent tour coordinator! Look forward to many more trips with Renok Adventures.
Trips with Renok have a very friendly and close knit feel too it. Smaller group size in their treks fosters more bonhomie. Rohan, Jai and the other support staff ensures that all your needs are taken care of.
Good company and jai govind
With renok I always feels like a family, trek leaders are too co-operative

Thanks Renok Adventures for wonderful trekking experience in Himalayas. Simple nutritious food was a big surprise at those altitude and because of support I got from trek leaders and local guide I was able to reach the summit of Kedarkantha trek. Request to keep the size of group same forever.

Great team with great trekking knowledge. Felt awesome when we went for Kedarkanta trek. Their trek leaders are so good !
I did Kedarkantha trek with Renok Adventures recently during long holi weekend and this was my first himalayan trek and it was wonderful trekking experience in himalayas. Food was lip smacking good and the equipment provided like the gaiters and microspikes for the summit day were really helpful during the snow trek. Thanks Team Renok for making my trek a memorable one.
Full Power ….. Bhai Ji …
Guys i just have these words to say to the most rocking and adventurous people i met through Renok …. Jai and Monte bhai … The sense of responsibilty i have felt in these guys for even the people whom they havent met ever and the super rocking adventure experience i had with them is unremarkable … This is forever now buddies
Jai bhai … Monte bhai …. Full Power … Uh both are like i had a dream and i never wanted to wake up
Great Adventure with Renok ! Commendable Hospitality throughout the trek .
Great hospitality and service. Thoroughly enjoyed my trek with them.
Had a truly great experience with Renok adventures last June (2014) , I was really impressed with the way they effortlessly manged to rope me into a different trek as HamtPass was undoable due to climatic conditions. The entire trip was well managed and we had lot of encouragement from the trek leaders. Many a times they went out of their way to do things that they really didnt need to do. Still remember the awesome food cooked by Dharmendra . Really enjoyed the trek after such a long hibernation especially the First night camp fire 😉 Sorry guys for such a late review even now there a lot of good thing I want to say but bit tied for time. Reason for 4 stars and not 5 is because I feel they can go much higher 🙂
Our trip on the Valley of Flowers Trek 2015 was amazing! Team Renok were committed to providing the best experience during the entire trek, and each and every trekker were personally assisted.
Their Hotel’s choice during the trek was the best we were provided the best hotel accomodation available at those altitudes. I would recommend Renok Adventures without hesitation.
Thank you for the memorable trek of a lifetime!
Successfully completed Hampta Trek from 10th sep to 14 sep 2016 with great Renok Team ( Pinku as Main Guide & Vijay as Guide). It was a great and satisfying experiance. Three cheers for the Team & Lovely Group.
Just back from the Kuari Pass Trek with Renok Adventures. Superb experiences, put together and delivered fantastically by Team Renok. We did kuari pass trek with 12 other trekkers from from all over the world ( 2 USA, 1 Australian and rest Indians) and we all got on brilliantly.
Good mix of culture / nature which everyone enjoyed.
We were lucky enough to be away over Xmas /new year and celebrated them in a different manner.
If I had to say anything that could be improved on it would be the length of time driving from Haridwar to Joshimath and back It could have been broken up by a mid journey stay. Great active holiday though – would certainly consider using renok adventures again for another trekking trip in himalayas.
Very well organized trek with great quality of food provided!! The perfect combination!!
Went for Kuari Pass Trek and it was amazing as always with Renok Adventures. Great team and great food was the best part of the trek we thoroughly enjoyed our trek and looking forward to our next trek very soon.
Thanks Renok Adventures for making it easy to take the plunge into the world of trekking in Himalayas. I recently completed my Kuari Pass Trek (Lord Curzon Trail) with then absolutely love the Fiver Star treatment provided to us at those altitude (3000m above). All of us had an amazing time during our trek. Wishing you all the best for your endeavors and be prepared to get lot of referrals from my side. Thanks Team Renok

Goecha La Trek, 8th-16th, October 2016. Any thing less than a 5 would be doing injustice to the Lovely experience me and my team had on this trek. Staring from the Brand New Scoprio that picked us up from NJP Station and shipped us to Yuksom with 5 hours. Dan Limboo is one Swift driver. The Limboo Homestay was lovely with a garden in the backyard. The icing on the cake was our Guide and Staffs, they were like family to us, We became great friends during the trek. Timboo Limboo is a charming young man with a big smile and a even bigger heart. He pampered us thought the trek. DB ji was our Cook, the man who has magic in his hand. Avilash our porter is young and energetic. You must look for this man, RAM SINGH, he is a my dear person, a man of great wit and possesses a great Knowledge about trekking in this part of the Country. They helped us complete this trek which otherwise would have been impossible. We’ll see you guys soon. And Thank you Renok for the lovely Hospitality.
Renok is managed by a group of passionate people which makes it unique from the rest of their peer players. They keep the experience raw which means more closer to nature. I had a fantastic experience with them in our valley of flowers and hemkund trek. Things always don’t go as planned but to understand the gaps and conversing with fellow trekkers shows their passion to make this a memorable experience for their clients. All the best Jai!
Went for Khyar Mundari trek with a group size of 87 people! All I can say is we were blown by the service provided by Renok Adventures. The trek guides, the execution, planning and most importantly the hospitality provided was exceptional. The most important aspect was we were not given any false promises like many travel websites do. Everything was clear right from the start and it was delivered. Special mention to the cook who made sure we were fed the best food! Way to go Renok!
Transportation – 5* (Scorpio car with excellent driver)
Accommodation- 5* (clean and excellent accommodation)
Food on the trek- 5* (excellent cooking with experience cook )
guide(Timbo limbo) -5 * (helpful guide with positive attitude to any problems)
Now days whatever we do first we see for the review even its same goes for me also .i checked indiahiks & renok’s both review and decided to try for Renok as its a brand new company, from the beginning of the trip to end , Renok never disappointed us the whole Renok’s goeCha-LA team are really really good ,
Tips for goecha-LA trek- ask for Ramsign or Timbo limbo as guide and DB daju as cook.
Went to kedarkantha trek with Renok Adventures and it was one of a kind experience. Awsome Trekking experience and services by renok adventures on Kedarkantha trek
