On the way to Kinner Kailash – Giri Camps

Kinner Kailash Trek is one of the most challenging pilgrimage treks in India. On the way to Kinner Kailash you will come across a patch full of huge boulders and rocks. Jumping from one boulder to another is quite a fun once you establish a rhythm but one must be very careful when treading these as a slight mistake can cause injury. Shoes with better traction will definitely help. https://youtu.be/6ERd1YZ8CI8 Giri Camps organizes customized treks to Kinner Kailash every year from Jun-Aug. Click here to get in touch with us.

Announcement! New Logo – Giri Camps

New Updates

As part of the ongoing evolution of our company’s brand we’ve released a new logo of Giri Camps. We believe the new logo better matches what we offer: an adventure company that offers high altitude trekking and camping services to thrill seekers who wish to explore the mighty Himalayas. We realized that our original logo didn’t express us quite well and we wanted our prospective clients to see the logo and have an immediate understanding of what we offered. We have already begun the process of switching out the old with the new logo on all our collaterals, marketing literature, online presence, stationery, etc and we expect to be fully transitioned in a few weeks. We hope you like our new logo as much as we do! 😊
