Explore Kashmir In Its Full Glory

I had the most incredible experience when I traveled to Kashmir, and it was all thanks to Zabarwan Adventures and their amazing host, Rupin Dhar. I had no idea what to expect when our host suggested camping, but it turned out to be the best decision ever. The glamping arrangements offered a breathtaking view all around, making it a truly spectacular stay in Aru valley. If you’re looking for a peaceful and scenic place to stay, I highly recommend reaching out to Rupin Dhar. Not only does Rupin Dhar ensure that the place is spacious and comfortable, but he also goes above and beyond as a host, taking care of all your needs. His culinary skills are out of this world; I can confidently say that the food I had there was heavenly.

The trip with Zabarwan Adventures was simply breathtaking as, we got to experience so much in just a short span of time. From local sightseeing in Kashmir and experiencing its beauty to, trying the local Kashmiri dishes from the famous Wazwan cuisine. But, the most amazing part of the road trip was when we reached the highest motorable pass in the world i.e. Khardung La Pass and definitely witnessing the Double Humped Camels in the natural habitat.

I had never been an adventure person before. That 5 days trek to Tulian Lake changed everything I knew and desired for. The first leg of the trip was the magical Pahelgam with overnight stay in huts surrounded by greens and melodic streams. We had an unimaginable cultural experience tasting local and authentic delicacies. The next day we began our 7 hours trek accompanied by a local tour guide who was an expert of the route. After reaching our destination we set up our own tents. That evening, endless conversations with new friends besides the campfire will forever hold a very special place in my life. And no words can ever describe the kehwa tea served by the locals on that rainy day. This trip would have never been possible without Rupin Dhar who exceeded my expectations in every way. Extremely helpful, efficient, well organized and hassle free - right from the beginning, till till the end. Ever grateful to Rupin for the flawless communication and a glitch-free adventure trip.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude towards Rupin Dhar for the amazing trip he had arranged for us. During our Spiti Valley trip, we had covered quite a few not so commercially popular places, with some superb locations. I would also like to mention, he was not just our tour operator, but he certainly went extra miles to help us when I suddenly felt sick and was advised not to travel higher altitude. He came up with alternate route pretty instantly with equally beautiful places to see and the cherry on top was the journey through that adventurous roads. I will certainly not miss to mention Bharat bhai, who drove us through out our journey. I would recommend anyone planning to visit Spiti Valley or anywhere in Himachal, and interested to explore unknown places, he is the person you can rely on.

It was a life changing experience for me to visit Kashmir with Zabarwan Adventures as, I had always been wanting to but, was worried about the safety issues. The team at Zabarwan Adventures really changed that notion and made me realize that travelling to Kashmir is pretty safe and people are very hospitable in nature. When we visited Gulmarg, I saw the sheer grandeur and beauty of the place and realized why is it known as the “Switzerland of India”. But, the highlight of the trip to Kashmir was our Trek to Tulian Lake, which was well organised by Mr. Rupin Dhar and his team of dedicated and experienced professionals. Even though, the trek was a little long and the ascend was quite steep but, the trek guide and the trek leader were experienced enough to choose the relatively easier path for us. They even chose a magnificent campsite and that moment of sitting around the bonfire will go down the memory lane for sure. The excitement and adventure was fueling our bodies to witness the mesmerizing glacial lake nestled between the snow clad mountains.

Thank you so much Zabarwan team for making my first trek experience an amazing and memorable. Special thanks to you Rupin for giving me company till the end and making my whole trip a special one. Looking forward to making many more adventures with you! For the hospitality and care that each of your team member heaped upon me, I can not express my gratitude in words. Next time I will drag friends and family; this is one of the best ways to immerse and enjoy Kashmiri culture right from the city to the villages. Glad I could make it to this one and look forward to the next exciting list of treks. From beginning to end, everything was beautiful and it will always remain special to me, so thank you heartfully for this splendid experience.

My trip to Kashmir was simply incredible, thanks to Zabarwan Adventures and the fantastic host, Rupin Dhar. Camping was the best decision ever, with breathtaking views from the tents in Aru valley. Rupin ensured a spacious and comfortable stay, and his culinary skills made the food heavenly! He’s the go-to person for trekking, providing constant motivation and support. Kashmir’s beauty, clouds, and hospitality left me speechless. Can’t wait to return! ❤️

Even though I felt like giving up during our hikes, Rupin Dhar motivated and supported me every step of the way. He made sure I was okay, well-hydrated, and encouraged me to witness the stunning beauty that Kashmir has to offer. I can’t wait to return to this paradise and explore more of its wonders. The clouds moving, the sun playing hide and seek, the midday drizzle – every moment in Kashmir is magical. Above all, the love and hospitality of the people there touched my heart deeply. I can’t express in words how much I love this place and everyone I met there. The experience was beyond description, and it all comes from the bottom of my heart. ❤️

I had the most incredible experience with Zabarwan Adventures! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a stunning view of the surrounding landscapes. Their campsite in Aru Valley, Kashmir was beyond beautiful, and made us feel like a home away from home. But what truly made this trip special was how accommodating they were to all members of my family, including my parents and my beloved dog. It’s not always easy to find a place that welcomes pets, but the team went above and beyond to ensure our furry family member felt just as welcome as the rest of us. The pet-friendly facilities and the serene environment allowed our dog to roam freely and enjoy the trip just as much as we did. And they took my dad for fishing which he was super excited about. All in all, I cannot recommend Zabarwan Adventures enough. The combination of a beautiful stay, amazing food, and their pet-friendly approach made it a vacation that we’ll cherish for a lifetime. Thank you Rupin for providing us with such a wonderful experience. We can’t wait to come back and create more unforgettable memories!

I recently had a pleasure to book 3 days trek to Tulian Lake with Zabarwan Adventures. No doubt the Beauty of Tulian Lake was mesmerising but a well organised trek with super enthusiastic Zabarwan Adventure Team members ,all necessary safety measures and arrangements added great value to it. We started our Trek as guests to Zabarwan team and returned back as good friends for lifetime and full of memories. Kudos to Team Zabarwan!

Zabarwan adventure is a small and passionate company. I recently had the privilege to book a three day tulian lake trekk which was made so seamlessly easy by the amazing team members. Inspite of personal difficulties related with altitude adjustments, the team was super enthusiastic and encouraged us on every step. I have a box full of memories made beautiful by the people in it. I will be rebooking zabarwan adventure’s team in my future endeavors.

Whoever said "Kashmir is heaven on Earth" did not definitely lie... Wen recently I did the Tulian lake trek with Zabarwan Adventures, I got a chance to test my theory. Not just the beauty of the Tulian lake took my breath away, at the same time I never felt out of place because of the most companionable company I cud imagine. Not only my friends, but the entire team of Zabarwan Adventures was most friendly, entertaining n helpful at every step I took. Looking forward for many more adventures and making memories.

I had a wonderful solo trek with Zabarwan Adventures. We travelled to Tarsar-Marsar and Basmai Lake. One of my first treks and the guidance from Rupin was amazing! The accommodation and food were brilliant. I would definitely recommend ZA to anyone thinking of taking a break from stress and interested in going on a fun yet peaceful trek in the mountains of India.
