BOOTS & CRAMPONS

Thank you, B&C , for introducing me to the world of multi-day trekking at high altitude. It was a tough 6 day long kilimanjaro climb, but u made it smooth, because of the efficient services you guys had provided in terms of food, stay, local guide n portars, and last but not the least knowledge sharing about the terrain. Trek leader Lieutenant Colonal Romil was simply awesome 🫡. The sense of responsibility that you showed during the sudden illness of one of the team members in our group clearly depicts the professionalism and efficiency of your service. The team consisted of members of different fitness levels n capabilities n speed, many of them were in the verge of giving up, but u never gave up n coaxed them to cross the finish line is something that needs to be applauded 👏 I will surely love to trek again with B&C in the future. The best thing about memories is making them, and you guys have just made this memory so special to me. Thank you, Team B&C

A huge thanks to Romil and the entire team at Boots and Crampon for leading us to Kilimanjaro in March 2024. It was my first experience of this kind and I was struck by a few things: first, the incredible personal attention that the B&C team paid to every member ahead of the trip, helping us prepare mentally and physically. Second, the tremendously detailed and complex logistical arrangements and how well they were managed. Third and most importantly the trust Romil fuelled in each of us, both in terms of believing in us and helping us believe in ourselves, but also practically helping each of us when we needed it. All of this combined to give us an unforgettable experience. While luck and weather played their roles in ensuring all of us reached the summit, B&C and Romil in particular made it that much easier for us and ended up giving us a trip of a lifetime . I wouldn’t trust anyone else for a challenging expedition- only B&C because their experience and trust is what matters most when things get tough!

It was my first high altitude trek to friendship peak with the B&C team and the team ensured that every single detail wrt safety was maintained. Good food, proper accommodation , transport , knowledgeable guides and above all an excellent team made the expedition fun and memorable. Kilimanjaro - March 2024 This was my second trip with BnC and the first one in Africa, and I had no doubts that the climb had to be with Romil and his well-trained team. Climbing a different terrain altogether, Team BnC ensured that a well-defined, 6 month-long training plan was shared with us. Few days before departing, a detailed briefing session was conducted, and Team BnC ensured that every single doubt was clarified. The team also prioritized safety and ensured a thorough gear check for each climber. Throughout the summit push and back, each climber had an accompanying porter. As my second 5K+ climb, I had no doubts that it had to be with the BnC team, and I would strongly recommend them again to anyone looking for a safe and fun climbing experience. With a 100% success rate, numbers speak louder than words.

Warm greetings to B&C, I was waiting to recover and ponder this ..... I have been treking for the last 4-5 years with different groups and organizers. But the major ones with B&C ! My recent climb was Kilimanjaro. Summitted on 7th march. B&C has always been very professional, respectful, and very knowledgeable. This is a company run by experienced founders and guides in all aspects. B&C have been very consistent in the service offered. They have always provided support, guidance, and especially reassurance to everyone in the group to achieve their dream . Their mountain knowledge is complemented well by their cultural knowledge, which means my trips have always had a much richer meaning for me in addition to exploring mountain beauty. I can attest that I have trekked with B&C and found them to be very proficient and experienced. Thank you, Romil and team.

This was my first time with B&C and I registered with them for a trek to Mt. Kilimanjaro. The entire trip was well coordinated and their team in Tanzania was super cool and very helpful. Why I would appreciate B&C is because the average age of the group(of 14 ppl) that I was part of was ~40 yrs with people having different level of fitness. Despite of this, the team made sure that every member was able to make it to the summit safely (if it is realistically possible). Even if you are slow then at least one person will always be with you till you make it.

I recently had the privilege of embarking on my second mountaineering expedition with Boots and Crampons, and I am thrilled to share my experience with them. From the outset, their preparation guidance proved unparalleled, offering the best insights for a successful climb. The meticulous planning and thorough advice set the foundation for a safe and rewarding experience. Throughout the summit journey, the team's motivation was unwavering. Their encouragement fueled our determination, making each step towards the peak a testament to their commitment to our success. One aspect that sets Boots and Crampons apart is their meticulous selection of guides and support staff for each summit. The expertise and reliability of the team contributed significantly to the overall positive experience, ensuring a safe and enjoyable climb. Safety is paramount, and Boots and Crampons excelled in conducting proper gear checks and implementing robust safety measures. This attention to detail fostered an environment where climbers could focus on the ascent with confidence. What truly stood out was the personalized attention given to every team member. The staff addressed individual requirements with care, creating a sense of camaraderie and support throughout the journey. The motivation provided was not just about reaching the summit but ensuring each team member reached their personal best. This approach, coupled with exceptional leadership, made the climb not just a physical feat but a transformative experience. Having previously climbed Kang Yatse and now kilimanjaro with Boots and Crampons, I can confidently attest to their exceptional ability to guide climbers, ensuring thorough preparation and a safe summit. This company's commitment to excellence is evident.

Friendship peak was my first trek with Boots and Crampons.I couldn't have asked for a better company to begin my trekking with..They were helpful right from the beginning and were reachable throughout to clear any doubts that arose during the preparation.During the trek,the services provided were of top notch quality, whether it was the food,guides or the equipements. Special mention for the trek leader Lt Col(ret) Romil Bhartwal sir, who took care of every need of every trekker whether weak or strong.So much so that we all became a family by the end of it all.Not to mention the summit was a success because of his guidance. I will recommend B&C to everyone who wants to pursue mountaineering and to everyone who wants to explore the beautiful world of mountains. I finally ticked off climbing Mount kilimanjaro on my bucket list,which is my second big climb and who better to do this climb with than Boots and crampons.Having done Mount Friendship with the same company,my expectations were slightly high but they did not disappoint at all.Be it preparation for the climb,guidance for what to pack for each day different biomes we trek through.They would reply to each and every doubt you had,no matter how small.During the gruesome 6 days trek through the Marangu route also called as Coca Cola route,we were properly briefed about every small details by our trek leader Lt.Col(ret) Romil Barthwal about what to expect with respect to the route,weather,clothing to wear.That made our life much easier and all we had to do was concentrate on the trek.We were pampered with hot appetising meals at all camps. The whole team of porters and guides were simply exemplary. All these factors put together,made my summit to Uhuru peak a very memorable experience. Met and made friends with people from so many different strata of the society.Overall it was a experience which i will never ever forget. Thank you Boots and Crampons and Thank you Romil sir,for this wonderful experience and memory which will last a lifetime.
