About Us
Rediscover Yourself, One Step at a Time.
At Himalayan Derive, trekking is not just an adventure; it’s a calling. Founded by Pravesh Singh, our company was born out of a profound belief that the youth of today are losing touch with the one thing that connects us all: nature. In an age where the digital world dominates our lives, many of us have forgotten the simple yet profound joy of being immersed in the natural world, especially the extraordinary world that exists behind the majestic Himalayan mountains and valleys.
Pravesh Singh, an avid trekker and nature lover, started Himalayan Derive with a mission– to inspire the youth of India and beyond to explore the vibrant and unexplored cultural heritage hidden behind the Himalayas. He realized that most of today’s generation spend hours lost in the digital space, often unaware of the tranquility, beauty, and healing power that nature offers. “I wanted to provide a gateway to reconnect with nature, to offer a path where people could rediscover their bond with the natural world,” says Pravesh.
Trekking, according to him, is the most natural and fulfilling way to not only refresh the body but also reboot the mind. It helps overcome the frustrations and stresses of modern life, offering peace, clarity, and renewed energy. Each trek allows you to disconnect from the fast-paced digital world and reconnect with your inner self while immersing in the stunning beauty of untouched landscapes.
At Himalayan Derive, we aim to provide easy, safe, and affordable trekking experiences. We believe everyone– especially the younger generation– should have the opportunity to witness the beautiful, unexplored world that lies behind the mountains. Our eco-friendly, budget-conscious treks are designed to be accessible to all, ensuring that nature’s healing power can be experienced by everyone.
Vision of Our Founder
Inspiring a Generation to Explore the Untouched Beauty of the Himalayas
Pravesh Singh’s vision is simple yet powerful:
- To inspire the youth to leave behind the distractions of the digital world and step into the untouched world behind the beautiful Himalayan mountains– a world where culture, tradition, and nature coexist in harmony.
- He believes that trekking is the perfect way to reconnect with the essence of life and gain a fresh perspective on the world. By exploring the colorful cultures, timeless traditions, and awe-inspiring landscapes hidden in the Himalayas, trekkers not only enjoy a physical journey but also embark on a spiritual and emotional one.
- “Nature has the power to heal, to teach, and to inspire,” Pravesh says. “I started this trekking company to help people reconnect with that power, to give them an escape from the digital world and a chance to overcome the challenges of life by reconnecting with nature. Trekking offers countless benefits– it refreshes the body, rejuvenates the mind, and brings peace to the soul.
- His ultimate goal is to make the unexplored beauty of the Himalayas accessible to everyone, offering affordable, eco-friendly trekking packages that allow young people to explore this different world in a budget-friendly way.

Our Food Philosophy – Atithi Devo Bhava
At Himalayan Derive, we believe every guest is divine — “Atithi Devo Bhava.” That’s why we serve only the freshest, most hygienic, and nutritious meals, prepared with love, purity, and Himalayan soul. Our trekkers enjoy three wholesome meals every day — breakfast, lunch, and dinner — along with evening snacks and tea, freshly made to refresh you after a long day on the trails. We proudly serve traditional Himalayan cuisines, bringing the authentic taste of the mountains — like Kandeli ki Sabji, Bichu Ghas ki Sabji, Lingde ki Sabji, Kode ki Roti, and Mandwe ki Roti.
Bichu Ghas (Himalayan Nettle)
Rich in iron, calcium, and vitamin C, it helps boost stamina and reduce fatigue during treks.
Known to detoxify the body, improve blood circulation, and relieve joint pain in cold weather.
Acts as a natural immunity booster, perfect for high-altitude environments.
Lingda (Himalayan Fern)
Packed with fiber, minerals, and antioxidants for better digestion and bone health.
Helps maintain hydration and energy during long trekking days.
Traditionally used to purify blood and support metabolism.
Kode & Mandwe ki Roti

Himalayan Flavors & Chutneys
We use high-altitude Himalayan masale like Duna, and serve fresh chutneys made from:
Garden-fresh apples, Himalayan pudina, and Bhangjeera seeds — each packed with natural flavor and health benefits.
Our dishes are seasoned with Himalayan garlic and mirchi, known for their natural medicinal and warming properties.
We always try to use organic, locally sourced ingredients, straight from the lap of the Himalayas.
Our Belief
Because for us, food is not just about taste — it’s a connection to the Himalayas, to the earth, and to the rhythm of nature itself.
Every bite is a reminder to feel the nature, live the purity, and taste the Himalayas.
