I’m Abhishek, and this started as a very solo obsession.
In 2011, I started walking in the hills around Rishikesh. I had no gear. I did not really know what I was doing. I only bought proper trekking gear in 2021. Before that, for almost ten years, it was just me, whatever clothes I already had, and a stubborn wish to keep going higher. Back then, trekking was only mine. It was how I understood my own life.
Somewhere in 2022, that shifted. I realised what the mountains had given me, silence, perspective, a kind of peace no city ever managed, was something worth sharing on purpose, not just living for myself. In 2023, that decision became Hike in India: a registered trekking operation built on the same instinct I had walking alone a decade earlier.
So no, this isn’t a company that hired a founder for the story. It’s the other way around, a decade-long personal habit that slowly became a company. Every itinerary we run is still built the way I’d want to trek it myself: real physical challenge, with enough room left to actually feel something.
Right now, that’s the Himalayas. Longer term, the plan is to bring this same soulful, unrushed approach to trekking destinations across India.

Why People Choose to Walk With Us
Your Journey, Immortalized
Memories fade. Footage doesn’t. On every trek, I personally shoot and edit a cinematic video of the group, the same camera and gear I carry on my own solo trips. You focus on being present, I’ll hand you something to watch for years.
Uncompromised Safety & Local Support
This isn’t a slogan we picked for the page. Every group treks with a BMC or AMC-qualified trek leader, the certification level matched to what that specific trail actually demands. A basic first aid kit travels with every group as standard, and tougher routes get specific add-ons on top, oxygen cylinders included, based on that trail’s real risks. That, plus local ground support who’ve walked these mountains across every season, is what safety actually means here, not just a word on a page.
A Spiritual, Not Just Physical, Journey
A Hike in India trek isn’t only about the summit. It’s built around the quiet parts too, watching a sunrise without reaching for your phone, sitting with silence long enough that it stops feeling strange. That’s not an add-on here. It’s the point.
Small Enough to Know Your Name
We keep groups to 15-20. Small enough that I know who you are by day two. Big enough that if you’ve come alone, you won’t stay that way, there’ll be five new friends around the campfire by night one.
Who This Is For
- First-Time Trekkers – who want a safe, supported place to start.
- Spiritual Seekers – chasing silence and a deeper connection with nature.
- Photographers & Creators – who chase the perfect sunrise and the stories in between.
- Corporate Teams – looking for an offsite that actually builds something real.
The Mountains Are Calling
Same as they called me in 2011. Come see what they’ve got for you.
