The only reason I'm rating Anthariksha Trekkers 1-star is because I can't give a minus rating. We had booked the Kumara Parvatha trek (22nd-24th Dec) hoping for an adventure-filled weekend but whatever was about to unfold was beyond our imagination. The Trek Leaders namely Goutham Thorwath, Yashwanth & Varun Gowda lacked communication skills, leading to confusion on the trail. There was no coordination among the TLs. Poor management and lack of contingency plans made the trek more challenging than it already is. Additionally, the overall customer service was disappointing, leaving a negative impact on the entire journey. If Anthariksha Trekkers was the last trekking company on this planet to trek with, I would prefer shifting to another planet.

I could have given a zero rating if that was possible. I had booked a trek to Kumara Parvatha starting 22nd December to 24th December from Thrillophilia, and I was assigned Antariksha Trekkers as our trek guide. From the moment trek started, not one thing went as expected, I’ll cover all the aspects here one by one. Our trek guides were Goutham Thorwath, Yashwanth, and Varun Gawda. Transportation: There were more than 60 people boarding from Bangalore for an overnight journey to Kukke Subramaniya Temple, Coorg. They were supposed to provide comfortable rides, since we would be sleeping in the bus and starting the trek next morning. They provided us two buses, the first one which majority of people boarded had pathetic seats with zero legroom and no recline facility, while the second bus (which came from a later pickup point) had good legroom with recliner features. We were forced to sit in the bad bus since a fight had broken over the seating arrangements. The buses started 2 hours later than the provided time. We arrived at the trek fully exhausted and sleep deprived, and our spirit was in shambles even before we took first step. The transportation on the way back was even worse since another fight had started between the trekkers and the drivers about the seating arrangements since no one wanted to travel back in the congested bus, which went even physical for a moment as things escalated. Post this, our ride back was hellish to say the least as the driver deliberately drove over each bump and pothole at full speed causing people to go airborne (our ride back was between 12 AM to 6 AM when we were supposed to sleep) while also blasting music at full volume to make sure no one was able to sleep during the journey back. Trek guidance: I have no words to say how pathetic the planning was on the part of Antariksha trekkers. They gave us no briefing before any part of the trek, causing mass confusion and chaos when people reached the sites and did not know what to do. Time management was the worst part of the entire trek, which caused us to reach late everywhere. I can understand that managing such a huge crowd could be difficult, but if you can’t, you shouldn’t accept a booking of this volume in the first place. Some good parts were that the trek guides were friendly and helpful regarding the trekking tasks like tent setup, lunch arrangements and general guidance throughout the trail. They were providing good instructions one-on-one with the trekkers. Trek guides did what they might have been told but communication could have been much better. What could have been done better: - There should be a briefing provided on what to expect to everyone at each checkpoint. Eg. They could have informed us about the tentative timings of the plastic check post, what to expect on the trail, how much time it would take to ascend and what to do/place to meet once we reach the next checkpoint. None of this was done, or even if it was, it was done locally with 10 or so people which each one having different instructions, causing chaos. - The trekking organisation should provide proper rides for the journey, which are at least somewhat comfortable, since we are going to physically exert ourselves so much on the actual trek. - They should take us to proper places on the route for our self sponsored meals instead of making us walk 2 km for food post our trek. Overall, I would not book anything in future with Antariksha Trekkers again after causing us so much physical and mental pain throughout the entire trip.

These people are not serious about trekking. There were no guidance provided on the terrain or the difficulty of the trek. They were careless from the very beginning about our safety. There were many first time trekkers in the group and their negligence towards making them comfortable is appalling. There were no instructions given on the things that one is expected to carry to the trek and the kind of gear required to safely navigate the trek. Gautam and Chaitra were our trek leaders and they were apparently "freelancing" while studying. They weren't trained trek leaders and we couldn't depend on them in any way. The co-ordination was also very poor. We were made to wait for a very long time at the base and we weren't able to comfortably reach the peak on time because of this. If you are planning on going to trek in and around Bangalore, planning the trek on your own is a much better option in my opinion. If it's a longer trek and you would like to depend on an agency, I wouldn't recommend Antariksha trekkers to anyone. There are better organisations for this purpose. We felt like we paid only for the transportation which was honestly HORRIBLE.

Had a great experience with Anthariksha trekkers. Went on a two day trip to Kudremukh peak and everything was arranged for us. The trek leads seemed to have a good rapport with the locals in the place and arranged a homestay which was the closest to the peak base camp. From instructions about the trek, to the fun times on the bus journey, arranging for the bonfire and games, it was a great experience overall. Thanks to our hosts Goutham, Hari and Yashin for a great time :)

A good medium to complete a tour, when you don't want the headache of planing itinerary. In my experience, we have covered a lots of places with a good quality time at each of those. They give you the essence of trekking, exploring the hidden routes with some awesome buddies. Special kudos to management Indu and Manoj for their friendliness and guidance.

It was an amazing trek led by darshini and chaithra. Without their support, patience and motivation I wouldn't be able to complete the trek. Trek was difficult climbing up and down the cliff, going through the forest but the amazing beautiful views of green blue water, scenic beaches made it worthy of all the hardships. I loved it enjoyed it. The dinner was 😋. Tents were just in front of the beach. Bonfire and songs in the night took away all the exhaustion of the day. Walking on the beach, under the sky full of stars and the sound of waves, everything just felt as a dream. We also enjoyed the bus travel where we were grooving to the songs of our choices. Overall I loved exploring all the five main beaches of gokarna through this trek. Looking forward for more such treks with chaithra and darshini♥️♥️♥️♥️

Was opted for Bandaje trek which was a moderate trekking path. The timing and assistance starting from the pick-up point till drop was perfect. The trek guide was Darshini she was friendly and guided me throughout the whole journey. The stay was excellent with perfectly cooked home food and a comfy stay with a family assisting us friendly. Even though I don't know kannada I didn't felt left alone. They even had a local guide who would lead us through the paths of the trek.Short to say, it was perfect. All Thanks to the guide Darshini for a friendly and guided experience ❤️. Thanks to Anthariksha trekkers for the memorable trip.

Clearly demanding and challenging, Kumara Parvatha is definitely not a trek which would have been possible for me as a first timer without the support of peers I met with AT or the guides Gajanan, Madhusudhan and Soubia. Althought the experience with AT can be enhanced with a bit more comfortable buses, better food(packages given at the start which we carried) and also through clearer expectation setting while booking stating that we would be required to carry our own tents and sleeping bags for half the trek which although not very heavy, is a significant load and an unpleasant task considering the climb.

Mind blowing experience to Kumara Parvatha!!!. It was a great adventure with Anthariksha. Right from before pickup in a comfortable bus till the drop the support was fantastic.Special Thanks to, Yashwant and Sanjith you both made up a great trek lead and were there for any queries we had and your energy ⚡ gave us more motivation to complete the trek whatever the pain is. Yashwant's communication skills was awesome 👏 with the crew and very jolly like a good friend. I would highly recommend to others to go for adventure treks. Happy adventure. Trekking at 4 30 am amid 🌙 and stars ⭐ was awesome experience.

Kumara Parvatha was an incredible trekking experience. Despite the challenges, the team ensured our safety and comfort throughout the journey. The guides Yashwanth and Sanjith were knowledgeable and supportive. This trip has been a highlight for me, and I appreciate all the effort that went into making it memorable. Thank you Team, Anthariksha Trekkers!

It was a good experience but somehow we started late for a trek as scheduled which however pushed us to reach to summit to watch sunrise Otherwise overall experience was good DJ Gautam(Trek lead) plays fun dance item nos during the night journey and a humble person. Chaitra is also very understanding and cooperative.

We had been to Netravati Trek with this planner and it was really great time we spent. We all unknown people met and had good memories. Big salute to our guide Yasin for having so much of patience and letting our goals to complete trek on time. He made sure we enjoy by triggering everyone to dance . He was asking for feedback throughout the trip and was correcting it. Thanks a lot and love you guys.

Thank You Anthariksha for making this experience, a memorable one. I had fun as well as experienced peace. Badly wanted to take a break from city's hustle bustle and this trekking company was to my rescue. The itenarary, beach, bonfire, falls and backwaters were really good. So were the guide and tour coordinator Manoj. Rating 4 as transportation needs to be improved. Also, mats in the tent need to be replaced with sleeping bags. Overall it was satisfactory.

Most definitely underestimated the difficulty of the Skandagiri trek. But that didn’t stop the overall experience from being wonderful! Started at 4am, we were at the peak by sunrise. It is a moderately difficult for a new trekker (and extremely difficult if you don’t move at all), I would suggest building up stamina a few days before the trek. Trek leader (Gajanan) went above and beyond to make this a safe and fun trip, and made sure no one was left behind, even helped us click photos for memories. Definitely worth the climb.

Amazing experience. View was breathtaking ❣️ i had best time during this trek. Everything was so perfect accommodation, food, travel, trekking, guide. Enjoyed bone fire with friends after the trek which was most relaxing. Must visit trek with friends. Carry essentials with you while trekking and don’t forget to take rain coat.

It's a succinct Trek here in Bangalore carried out neatly, particularly considering all the arrangements and the smooth proceedings of the day. The view and sunrise were good and so were the guides and coordinators. Those who've trekked previously in the Himalayas will find it quite easy. However, those new to trekking must do the necessary training on their endurance, balance and overall muscular strengths.

Overall a really good experience with them on the trek.

We went with anthariksha trekkers to bandaje waterfalls trek the experience was ultimate. I would for sure recommend to travel with them.

This is my first trek. I am super excited for the kodchadri trek in Karnataka and you people from Anthariksha Trekkers made it more and more exciting. Finally the trek was wonderful. And trek leads were super energetic and soo friendly. All the arrangements were cool.This trek gave me beautiful bonds for life.Thanks to anthariksha Trekkers for such wonderful trek. Thanks to all the team, you people are doing great . Overall the trip was worth it.

I had an amazing experience with Anthariksha trekkers. I booked the Kumar Parvata 2D trek with them, and it was a fantastic experience. The trek leaders were extremely helpful. I trekked with TL Gajanan, and he made sure that everyone had a great experience during the trek as well as during our travels. This was my 21st trek, and it definitely deserves first place in terms of both its level of difficulty and the overall experience. The food planning was exceptional being the remote arra, deserving a 5/5 rating. I learnt how to set up a tent(life skill ++). I will definitely recommend Anthariksha trekkers, whether you are a solo traveler or part of a group. During the trek, I had the pleasure of meeting a bunch of passionate travelers and hearing about their journeys. Made some new friends, we will definitely have some adventures together. I look forward to more adventures with Anthariksha trekkers in the future.

I had a wonderful experience to trek with Anthariksha trekkers

Trecking and food was amazing, stay could have been better :)

Had a great experience with Anthariksha trekkers. Went on a two day trip to Kumara parvatha peak and everything was arranged for us. The trek leads seemed to have a good rapport with the locals in the place and arranged a homestay which was the closest to the peak base camp. One of the most difficult trek in karnataka, different experience caring tent to forest checkpost, staying in camp, From instructions about the trek, to the fun times on the bus journey, arranging. When coming back to banglore nonstop dancing in bus, I have meet crazy people during the trek and enjoyed lot. it was a great experience overall. Thanks to suhas has giving overall instructions about trek.

I did the kudremukha trek with Anthariksha trekkers with my friends. Everything was awesome. The guides yashin and harikrishna are very friendly and easy approachable. It was well organized trek. I would like to give shout-out to harikrishna as when we were returning from trek we were the last group and he accompanied us till the end. He gave his stick to my wife for the support. The seats in the bus were bit congested but we had lots of fun in the bus. We enjoyed dancing in bus. Food provided was very good. We were given the options to stay in room and tents and shared bathrooms which was okay. All places mentioned in the itinerary was covered and we were right on time. It was a great experience.

To begin with gokarna trekkers I had a stunning experience.It had been a great pleasure to sign up with gokarna trekkers.Starting with the Om beach followed by trekking where we can visit all the beaches in the trekking and it's the fascinating part of the trip it gives a great experience who really wants to go for trekking.The jog falls was a bit disappointment because as January was not the right season there was no water.I would recommend to go to jog falls in October or November times. The camp fire was amusing. Coming to guiders chaithra and darshini had a great knowledge and very impressed by their management skills. They have been always taking care of all people throughout the entire trip of 2 days.And they were very friendly with all.Really it's a great pleasure to travel with both of them. I could have given 5 stars but due to the following reasons I couldn't: 1.The seats in the bus were not comfortable and not enough space for the legs.They've mentioned its a sleeper and AC but it's not. 2.The accomodation was not that great. And mainly the washrooms were too bad. 3.The water in the washrooms were ground water and it's literally very dirty. But coming to the food they have provided for two breakfast and one dinner was excellent. Finally I had a great pleasure with the gokarna trekkers.I would greatly recommend this if someone wants a budget friendly trip!

Had a great experience with anthariksha trekkers....Darshini and Chaitra. They made this trek a memorable one and enjoyed throughout the trip❤. And really amazed by their management skill and really appreciate for having patience and helping us every single time😍

It was a very amazing experience with team Anthariksha trekkers especially with the guides darshini and chaithra very humble people who have a very good knowledge about all the places we had been to. Overall it was an amazing experience with Anthariksha trekkers must experience once.

Great experience with anthariksha trekkers

It was a good experience, thanks to Chaitra and Gautham our trek lead, with clear and simple instructions. Special thanks to Gautham for making sure we didn't miss the sunrise and for encouraging us to reach the point! :) 🙌🏽

It was really a wonderful experience which I always keep in my life diary... We enjoyed a lot.. I would recommend everyone to trek Skandagiri with this team... They guided well and so did their behavior polite..

Travelled with them to Skandagiri! Great experience, everything was right on time and well managed. Great work by Chaithra and Goutham!

I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a trek with Anthariksha Trekkers, and I can't express enough how exceptional the experience was. From the moment I signed up, everything went seamlessly. The guides were not only knowledgeable but incredibly supportive throughout the trek. They ensured our safety and comfort while sharing fascinating insights about the surroundings. The accommodation and food arrangements exceeded my expectations. Staying in the midst of nature added a whole new dimension to the journey, and the meals were not only delicious but also served with warmth and care. What truly made this adventure unforgettable was the opportunity to meet and connect with like-minded individuals. I made wonderful new friends who shared my passion for exploration. I wholeheartedly recommend Anthariksha Trekkers for anyone looking to embark on a memorable trek. They truly understand how to create a perfect balance of adventure, camaraderie, and comfort. My experience with them was nothing short of amazing, and I can't wait to book another trek with them in the future.
