Located at the foothills of the Himalaya mountain ranges, Uttarakhand is largely a hilly state with international boundaries with China (Tibet) in the north and Nepal in the east. On its north-west lies the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, while on the south is Uttar Pradesh. The state is rich in natural resources with many glaciers, rivers, dense forests and snow-clad mountain peaks. This adventure experience will give you an opportunity to explore the rich bio-diversity of the region.
The camps at the foothills of the mighty Himalaya are located close to Rishikesh. Rishikesh town is considered sacred due to the Ganges River that flows through its heart. The town manages to attract people from all walks of life. It brands itself as the Yoga Capital of the World and houses world-class ashrams and yoga retreats.

What our Customers Say
Here’s what some of our awesome customers had to say:
“I just nicely got back from Peru with The Bucket List Company. It was an absolutely incredible trip – I booked it and went on my own, met some lovely people and had the experience of a lifetime.
I also had the opportunity to go on trips outside of the main trek, which just added to the whole experience. I would highly recommend The Bucket List Company to anyone, and can’t wait to book my next trip!”
Laura Trimble
Inca Trail trek to Machu Picchu
I am so glad that we chose to climb Kilimanjaro with the Bucket List Company!
Before our trip the team were quick to respond to any queries (including very last minute kit queries!) and provide assurance.
Our trekking group was fairly large (20). This provided a great social experience but did not impact the superb level of individual support/service provided to each member.
Everything was extremely well organised from start to finish – which is very much appreciated on this sort of trip. I am thankful for this experience and will definitely book future adventures with the Bucket List Company!
Eleanor Williams
Mount Kilimanjaro climb
“Absolutely fantastic from beginning till end highly recommend this company staff were perfect in every way couldn’t of made it without them I will be booking up in future again and met new friends for life.”
Adrian Farr
“When you book a Bucket List experience you want the company you book with to understand that for you this is once in a lifetime event and make it that little bit different. Having travelled with three other ‘group travel’ companies I can say that TBLC understand more than most that the little things matter. The pre travel part is stand out; from a welcome gift on booking, monthly installment options or the excellent training weekends you get an early impression you will be looked after and when on trip you certainly are. I recently returned from EBC and the organisation an execution of the trip was excellent, once travelling you don’t have to think about a thing
And the care and attention from both UK and local guides cannot be faulted. A couple of days I found the going very hard but I always had someone by my side for reassurance and encouragement which I have to say probably got me to Base Camp. I would have no hesitation in recommending TBLC to others, they’re a first class company who helped me tick a biggie off that bucket list!”
Lucy Bond
Everest Base Camp
“Ok, so if you aren’t Wonder Woman or the female version of Edmund Hillary (although we did have our very own Ironwoman – unfortunately not me!) but you fancy a bit of a challenge/adventure, then this is ideal!
This trip will challenge you mentally and physically, but because you make new amazing friends and have such a laugh – along with seeing the vibrancy of Morocco – you soon forget about how much you are struggling. The elation of achievement when you reach the top is phenomenal, and worth every foot step!
Other companies may offer the same trip, but I doubt they give the same level of expertise from the moment you pay your deposit! Everything has been thought of, from the advice about equipment to buy/rent, to the tips for working with our amazing guides and porters.
And then there’s our Bucket list Company rep, Gareth! Gareth, aka Billy Boy Wonder, was the best expedition leader you can ask for. He was always positive, encouraging, smiling and calm, even when there was a drama or something didn’t go according to plan. Oh, and ask him about his belly dancing skills!
I would highly recommend this company, and will be booking another trip! If you have any doubts, don’t! Just book it! You won’t regret it, and will finish the week with a permanent smile, some lovely new friends and priceless memories! Thank you to everyone on our trip. And at last I can say: “Got the t-shirt and wearing it!”

“We recently returned from a fantastic Scuba Diving trip in Gozo, This was our first time using The Bucket List company and we were really impressed with everything from booking the trip to the return flights home, it was all so easy with no stress. Everything was perfectly organised, the group – 18 of us, got on really well and the trip leader, Keith, was a great host. We’re already planning our next trip with The Bucket List Company.”
