Hello! My name is Vishal Eli Chamling. I am a Himalayan guide and a tour operator. I have been guiding inbound tourists in the Himalayan destinations of Darjeeling, Sikkim, Bhutan, Nepal, Ladakh, and many parts of India for the last 25 years (having completed my first trek as a tourist guide in October 1999).

My blog aims to provide you with insights into my living experiences and travels across the Himalayas and India. If you are interested in planning a trip here, you can use genuine and empathic information and recommendations from me. You can also book a tour using the contact form made available on this website.

As a professional guide, I have helped many guests travelling in the Himalayan region have an up-close and personal look into our culture and our people. With my blog, you will experience the same. Enjoy reading!
