Their story
Ridge & Rope run the routes that sit just past the standard trekking catalogue — passes with a snow crossing, peaks that need a fixed line, and ski touring above Solang. Founded in 2016 by two IMF-certified climbers who were tired of watching unroped groups on the Hampta snow slope. Maximum eight to a team. If a route needs technical protection, we place it — and if conditions say turn around, we turn around. We have called off four summit days in nine years and refunded every one of them.
Technical Himalayan trekking, ski touring and small-team expeditions out of Manali.

Snow was good and the group was kept to a sensible size. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Solid operator.

Snow was good and the group was kept to a sensible size. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. No hesitation recommending them.

Snow was good and the group was kept to a sensible size. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. Recommended.
