About us
A little team with a big love for these mountains
Escape is a Kashmir-born trekking company. We design small, unhurried treks through the valleys we call home — and we look after our guests like family the whole way.
Who we are
We are shepherds’ children, weekend climbers, and lifelong wanderers who never really left home. Escape grew out of a simple wish: to show people the Kashmir we know — the meadows, the alpine lakes, the hush above the tree line — without the rush, the crowds, or the coldness of a big tour operator.
We keep groups small, our guides local, and our pace kind. There is no online payment and no pressure — you tell us where you dream of going, and we plan it with you over WhatsApp, one message at a time.

How we do things
Four promises we make to everyone who walks with us.
Local to the bone
Every guide, cook, and porter is from the valley. Your money stays in the mountains it comes to see.
Safety, quietly done
Certified guides, sensible pacing, weather-honest decisions, and first-aid on every trek. Adventure never means risk with your life.
Hospitality first
Warm food, warm tents, and warmer people. We measure a trek by how at-home you felt, not just the summit.
Light on the land
Leave-no-trace camps, no single-use plastic where we can help it, and meadows left exactly as we found them.
