This morning, leave Devalsari and drive to Dehradun Airport (approx. 4 hours) for your onward flight.
Set out early for a 5-hour ascent to Luntsu’s summit and a 3-hour descent, moving through quiet ridgelines and pristine deodar forests. Protected and permit-controlled, this untouched landscape offers sweeping mountain views and a deeply atmospheric experience.
Arrive in Dehradun and drive to the forest village of Devalsari, where your camp is set near the Forest Rest House in a serene woodland setting. Enjoy a short acclimatisation walk in the afternoon, with the rest of the day at leisure to relax and settle into the mountains.
Luntsu is a serene Himalayan summit experience set amid pristine deodar forests and sweeping ridgelines in Uttarakhand. Offering a rewarding ascent with expansive mountain views, it combines physical effort with deep stillness and perspective. With regulated access preserving its untouched charm, Luntsu is ideal for trekkers seeking a quiet, immersive mountain escape.
Luntsu Peak is ideal for experienced trekkers and aspiring mountaineers looking for their first technical high-altitude summit. It suits those who have prior experience above 4,500 m and are comfortable using basic mountaineering gear like crampons and ropes. Adventure seekers wanting a less-crowded, expedition-style Himalayan climb will find this especially rewarding.
Expect steep ascents, glacier sections, and snow slopes during the summit push. The thin air above 5,000 m demands careful acclimatization, and weather can change rapidly in this remote border region. The final climb involves technical sections that require focus, stamina, and proper guidance.
A high level of endurance and strength is essential. Trekkers should be capable of walking 6–8 hours daily on rugged terrain and handling long summit days at altitude. Pre-trek preparation should include cardiovascular training, leg strengthening, and previous exposure to high-altitude conditions for safer acclimatization
Life happens — and we aim to be as fair and transparent as possible. If you need to cancel your trip, we request written notice as early as possible. Our standard policy:
Refunds are processed to your original payment method, minus any non-recoverable costs like permits or third-party bookings. In case of trip cancellation due to weather, political unrest, or unforeseen force majeure events, we typically reschedule or offer full credit for future travel. We highly recommend travel insurance that covers cancellation due to illness, emergencies, or flightdisruption. Please check individual trip pages, as custom trips or international expeditions may have slightly different policies. Our priority is to find a solution that works for both of us. If you have any additional questions, feel free to connect on our WhatsApp number shared in the contact section.
Booking with Juniper Outdoor is simple. Once you find a trip that excites you, click the "Contact Us " or “WhatsApp” button on the trip page. This will lead you to a short form that collects your contact information and preferences. Our team will then reach out to you with availability, a brief consultation if needed, and next steps. You can secure your slot by paying a deposit or full amount, after which we’ll send you a detailed pre-departure pack including packing lists, training recommendations (if applicable), and travel tips. We recommend booking at least 4 weeks in advance to secure your spot, especially for treks with limited permits or during peak season. If you're planning a private or custom departure, we’ll guide you through tailoring the experience to your group’s needs. Feel free to contact us anytime with questions before or after booking.
We provide a detailed packing list tailored to each region, season, and difficulty. Generally, you’ll need sturdy trekking shoes, a daypack, weatherproof outerwear (like a rain jacket or down jacket), layered clothing for cold and warm conditions, a headlamp, refillable water bottles, sun protection, and personal toiletries. For multi-day treks, we recommend moisture-wicking base layers, gloves, a warm hat, and trekking poles. Juniper provides all group camping gear — tents, sleeping bags, mats, and technical equipment (ice axes, crampons, if needed). We also help connect you with rental services if you’re missing something, especially for big-ticket items like jackets or sleeping bags. Packing light but smart is key. We’ll send you a downloadable checklist in your pre-departure kit, and our team is happy to review your packing plan with you before you arrive. Good gear means more comfort, confidence, and joy on the trail.
Mountains can be unpredictable, and weather conditions — especially at higher altitudes — can cause delays, blocked roads, or itinerary changes. At Juniper, we’re seasoned at adapting quickly and safely. If the weather disrupts the original plan, our guides will adjust the route or schedule while keeping you informed and safe. We often build in “buffer days” on longer treks to accommodate such events. In remote areas, we stay in touch with local authorities and rescue services for real-time updates. If flights are delayed(common in places like Leh or Lukla), we assist with rebooking support and accommodation arrangements. Our priority is always your safety and comfort. While we can’t control nature, we can control how we respond — calmly, clearly, and with contingency options ready. We recommend giving yourself flexibility in your return travel dates, just in case the mountains decide to hold you a little longer.
Safety is non-negotiable at Juniper Outdoor. Every trip is led by a certified wilderness first responder (WFR) or trained mountain guide, equipped to handle altitude sickness, minor injuries, and emergencies. We carry comprehensive first aid kits, pulse oximeters, and oxygen cylinders on all high-altitude expeditions. Our campsites are chosen for safe terrain and proximity to evacuation routes when needed. For more remote trips, we have satellite communication devices and access to rescue services. We limit group sizes to ensure individual attention and regularly conduct risk assessments during the journey. Additionally, we brief all participants on mountain hygiene, hydration, and acclimatization best practices. Your pre-departure pack will also include a checklist of safety essentials you should carry personally. Our ethos is simple: the mountain will always be there — we don’t take unnecessary risks. Your health and well-being come before any summit.
