A Story About Us

Our Vision

“At Eskape Trails, our vision is to reconnect souls with nature through thrilling adventures, prioritizing safety and eco-friendly practices for a sustainable and unforgettable outdoor experience.”

Let's Begin With Our Story and Who We Are ?

Hey there! So, let me tell you about Eskape Trails – this awesome venture started by two nature and advetnure loving buds, Nitin and Gurdit. Picture this: they were both stuck in the corporate grind, but deep down, they missed the good old days of college hikes and outdoor fun and the great learning that comes out of those outdoor experiences.

Nitin, a Kinnaur Himachal native, managed a chain of hotels in Kinnaur and Spiti, along with organizing bespoke trips to Spiti with his brother Vipin Negi and uncle PS Negi, an Ex-Army Commando. Meanwhile, Gurdit, a Chandigarh native and a professional NOLS-certified trek leader, had been leading treks in Nepal and India for the past 8 years.

In 2022, Nitin, after over 12 years in the corporate world, left his job and set up a corporate office in Chandigarh. At the same time, Gurdit, enjoying a nomadic lifestyle, happened to be in Chandigarh for a break. Fate played its part when they crossed paths at a random forum, and, you guessed it, the conversation naturally gravitated towards their shared love for the outdoors.

Nitin’s desire to establish a trekking division aligned perfectly with Gurdit’s ambition to create something in the outdoors from his hometown. And just like that, Eskape Trails was born, leveraging their combined expertise to cater to three segments of outdoor travel and adventure: Stay, Tours, and Treks under the umbrella brand name Eskape Trails.

Here’s a breakdown of Eskape Trails’ offerings:

  • Eskape Treks: Specializing in conducting treks in India and Nepal.
  • Eskape Tours: Specializing in organizing tours to Kinnaur and Spiti regions.
  • Eskape Stay: Offering a premium campsite with 14 camps in Rakcham, Kinnaur, and a 6-room banquet hotel in Kaza, Kinnaur.
