Our Story
WelcometoKashmir's
PremierMountainGuiding&AdventureCompany
For years, we have been creating real and engaging outdoor experiences across the Kashmir Valley—from expert-led treks and rock climbing to pioneering ice climbing and high-alpine expeditions.

Alpine Guides Kashmir was founded by Zeeshan Mushtaq, a passionate climber from the Kashmir Valley with deep expertise in rock, ice, and alpine climbing. Driven by an intimate knowledge and a deep-rooted love for the region, Zeeshan began by leading small groups into the wilderness — and that passion has since grown into the valley's most trusted name for professional guiding. Our core values shape every adventure: community development, sharing knowledge, prioritizing safety with certified guides, acting as conservationists to protect our mountains, and delivering authentic experiences far from the crowded tourist paths.

The mountains humble us, spark a rare kind of joy, awaken dreams we never knew we carried, and remind us — in every breath of thin air — how vividly alive we truly feel. We invite you to step into this world with us and let us be your trusted partner in creating unforgettable, safe, and deeply meaningful experiences across Kashmir's stunning wilderness. Here, every summit reached, every trail walked, and every moment spent among these peaks becomes a story you will carry with you forever.
