Discovery Hike

Discovery Hike is an adventure company founded by two mountain brothers, Sulakramji and Bahattarji, hailing from the culturally rich hamlet of Osla in the Har ki Dun valley. Born out of a 40-year-old dream, the company has become synonymous with unparalleled dedication to adventure in the Himala

Early Years and Mountain Conquests

Sulakramji and Bahattarji, both professional mountaineers, achieved remarkable feats by conquering the mighty Black Peak (6,387M) over ten times, demonstrating exceptional prowess without the aid of modern equipment or professional gears. Their journey began in the remote village of Osla, located within the Govind Pashu Vihar National Park, an area deeply remote and out of network.

About Our Company

Unique Beginnings: Connectivity through Post Office

In an era where connectivity seemed like a luxury, the brothers relied on the local post office not for mundane tasks but as a hub for adventure. May and June witnessed them patiently waiting in queues, not for financial transactions or family letters, but for inquiries from trekkers and expeditioners who might have sent mail addressed to them. This personal and unique approach became the hallmark of Discovery Hike.

Family Resilience and Lord Shomeswara’s Grace

Operating in a deeply remote area, the family faced numerous ups and downs over two decades. However, the joint family structure and the grace of Lord Shomeswara provided the strength to weather adversities. The family found innovative ways to navigate challenges, ensuring the education of their children while imparting the essential skills of mountaineering.

New Generation: Ganga Singh and Prakash

The legacy of Discovery Hike seamlessly transitioned to the younger generation as Ganga Singh, Sulakramji’s younger son, and Prakash, Bahattarji’s eldest, stepped forward. Inheriting the skills and art of mountaineering, these young talents expanded the company’s horizons, organizing treks and expeditions not only in Uttarakhand but throughout the entire Himalayan region.

Legacy Beyond Summits

As the sun sets behind the towering peaks, Discovery Hike unfolds a story that transcends Uttarakhand’s valleys. Ganga and Prakash, now seasoned mountaineers, carry forward the dreams of their fathers. The company’s legacy extends beyond the thrill of conquering summits to a deeper connection with landscapes and communities.

Impact on Communities and Future Endeavors

Discovery Hike’s influence resonates through the Himalayas, impacting not only thrill-seekers but also local artisans finding new markets and once-secluded villages opening their doors to curious adventurers. The company’s future promises more tales, not just on mountain peaks but in the hearts of those seeking solace and exhilaration in vast landscapes.

Know Who We Are

Our Vision

We want to put in new trekking practices to take trekking in India to the next level as an organisation dedicated to the sport. We do this by organizing treks where you can learn about the Discovery Hike Experience.

Our treks also expose us to mountain issues, which we try to solve. Microspikes, dome tents, and waterproof footwear, for example, have all been introduced to Indian trekking. We have a long way to go, and we’d love to have you along for the ride!

We provide a range of hands-on learning experiences for children, families, colleges, and businesses. Experts lead these programs, which aim to enhance emotional, physical, and spiritual growth through hands-on learning in the great outdoors.
