Tons Homestay Trek
Quick Facts
Meandering through the Tons Valley this trek in Uttrakhand provides a rich cultural experience and is a paradise for bird watchers and nature lovers. Go through the villages of this valley that rarely see tourists and be transported back in time.
Trek through quaint villages, alpine meadows littered with wildflowers and moraine ridges to get magnificent views of snow packed peaks.
In the “Outside” magazine special edition in March 2007 “The 30 Best Trips Ever” issue, our Tons valley trips had been featured which was another feather in our cap.

WHY GO WITH AQUATERRA ADVENTURES
A question easy to answer, you may wonder, in an age where adventure travel is apparently booming. Varying costs are available and there is no shortage of operators willing to run your trip. This is possibly the most important decision for you to make, after you have chosen to take on an adventure trip.
An Experienced Team
Our team of guides has years of experience of travel throughout the Indian Himalaya, from running rivers to leading treks – from the barren Zanskar to the tropical rainforest of Arunachal Pradesh. They speak English, have completed graduate school, are current with First Aid and CPR certification and form the most experienced guiding team in the country today.
Value for Money
The prices of our trips provide a high value for money returns. They are priced to keep our standards high and your trip, smooth. Cost usually is a deciding factor for many a trip, but for an adventure trip, the deciding factor should be confidence in your operator. We combine high operator confidence with a pricing balanced to give you a trip to remember.

Great Food

A bunch of us friends recently got in touch with Aquaterra Adventures to set up a whitewater rafting trip on the Tons River in the north Indian state of Uttarakhand.
