Every listing shows day-by-day altitude gain, group cap, what is included, and whether the operator has run this exact route before. If a departure has never run, we label it.
A deposit holds the seat for 72 hours while the operator confirms permits and porters. If the departure does not reach minimum numbers, the deposit is returned in full.
We hold the balance and release it to the operator 48 hours after the trek ends. That is the whole reason operators keep their listings honest.
Most guides on TrailMingo were previously subcontracting for aggregators at a third of the listed price. Here you set the price, the group cap and the calendar.
Median across active Himachal operators, last twelve months. Individual results vary considerably by season.
Verification means we check registration with the state tourism department, confirm at least two years of operating history, call two past clients, and check first-aid certification. About one in four applicants does not clear it.
Weather cancellations before departure get a full refund including the deposit. Cancellations mid-trek are handled case by case and the operator is required to propose an alternative or a pro-rata refund within seven days.
The operator does, and the listing states clearly whether the permit cost is included. Inner Line Permits for Ladakh and Sikkim need identity documents at least ten days before departure.
Basic accident cover is bundled into every booking above Rs 8,000. It is not comprehensive travel insurance and it does not cover helicopter evacuation, which you should buy separately for anything above 4,500 metres.
