With the help of Digital Uttarakhand we had a wonderful Darsan of Kedarnath Dham as we planned, they helped us a lot all the arrangements were done as they promised, at first I was worried of paying the complete amount in the beginning but they have won our trust so I paid the full amount.
Everything was fine but I was bit disappointed with two things one was the washroom in Kedarnath and another was the Driver he wasn't so friendly and few other issues, though we cannot blame much to Digital Uttarakhand for this...
Over all we had a wonderful trip.
Thank you to
Digital Uttarakhand Travel Team

I traveled alone with all my faith in Rohan Rawat from Delhi to Kedarnath and back . He took extreme care of me and gave me confidence wherever I was apprehensive. All the Rawats I met at Guptakashi were too caring and made me feel at home . The rooms I stayed were immaculately clean and new. In the heart of the mountain the Musafir Resort was an ideal place to respite in the pristine and tranquil surrounding. There were few inconvenience at times but as a whole it was worthwhile . Rohan booked my helicopter round trip . I regret not staying at their resort in Kedar . The service of the cooks and the other boys touched me . The stay still haunts me and I am sure to have a trip soon in future .Thanks to all the Guptakashi team n Rohan .
