The Tupendeo Peak Base Camp and Hangu Lake Landscape and Astro Landscape Photography Trek in the Kishtwar region of Jammu is a true adventure into the heart of the lesser-explored Himalayas.
Nestled amidst rugged terrain and towering peaks, the trek to Tupendeo Peak Base Camp offers photographers a chance to capture the raw, untamed beauty of the region. From cascading water bodies to lush meadows dotted with wildflowers, every step of the journey unveils a new photographic opportunity.
At Hangu Lake, the serene waters mirror the surrounding mountains, creating a picturesque setting for landscape photography. As night falls, the clear skies above the lake transform into a celestial canvas, perfect for capturing the splendor of the cosmos.
Led by experienced guides and photography mentors, this trek is not only a photography expedition but also an immersive experience into the rich culture and pristine wilderness of the Kishtwar region. It's a journey that promises to leave photographers inspired and awestruck by the breathtaking beauty of the Himalayas.
This is thEscape's first excursion to this region, hence it's an exploratory landscape and astro landscape photography trek in alpine style.

3. What are the precautions to be kept in mind as it is trekking tour and photography during a trek becomes difficult as one gets tired during a trek?
First of all, a Landscape Photography Trek especially to pursue Landscape Photography are for participants who are mentally and physically strong. We would like to rope in participants who have a prior trekking experience but we can also consider freshers as this trek doesn't involve technical knowledge. But the pre requisite which would be strictly adhered to is the physical fitness of the participant as it's a High Altitude trek. This trek is giving a facility of porters to each participant for carrying their load of not more than 10 kgs which would mean that photographers don't have to carry their heavy load on their backs to reach a campsite apart from their camera bags and tripods and will have the luxury and comfort of moving at a slow pace and create the landscape captures. Moreover with some great hospitality of my travel partners during this trek, I'm sure that participants would be able to make it through and in the process create some great images. As they say it " If there is a WILL, there is a WAY". So the mental strength along with physical fitness would be a primary requirement for undertaking this photography trek. Moreover weather during monsoons is uncertain, so there might be a case that we change the itinerary or skip a place keeping in mind the well being of the participants and their physical and mental health. The decision of the tour leader would be final here and the team has to adhere to the decision whatever made. No Refund would be made in that case. Rest we will undertake this tour with a strong mind and a passionate heart and I'm sure the team will come out with flying colours and some great content of Landscape Photography on this trek.
4. What to expect in terms of Logistic Support? How difficult it is going to be and is there any itinerary clause?
Being a Landscape and Astro Landscape Photography Trek, we categorise this tour as a Photography Workshop for participants and not a Leisure travel or a vacation/holiday. Please go through the following pointers which will help you to understand what to expect and the degree of difficulty of the tour-
As the focus here would be on locations, there would be travels throughout the day. Nights would be given for Astro Photography, hence sleep would become secondary in some cases. Hence it is expected that participants rest themselves at times when it is assigned for the same as a group.
Apart from factors beyond our control, we try to maintain our sleep and rising times understanding the need for catching the right light for Photography. Participants are expected to adhere to the same.
It’s a group tour where one needs to share their rooms and tents with strangers in most cases meeting them for the first time. Participants are expected to respect the same sportingly.
As this tour is to some offbeat places, there might be a case where the room sharing is given on twin/triple just to keep the rooms warm(more people in one room keeps room warm). Participants are expected to accept the same and share the rooms in that manner.
All the stays during the trek will be in tents as its a camping tour, so participants should understand that its like staying in complete wilderness.
Toilets are going to be Dry(Pit on the Ground) inside toilet tents.
Food provided will be very basic in the remote offbeat locations or depending upon the season. Majorly simple vegetarian food. The decision of the menu is kept with the travel partners as they understand the terrain and the availability of materials which can be quickly served.
Temperature might dip to as low as sub zero degrees or beyond when we go out for Astro Photography in night. Participants are expected to come mentally prepared for the same and with clothes which can handle that kind of temperature.
Due to any reason, if the itinerary is changed, a place or two skipped or a place or two added for factors beyond our control like road blocks, sea disturbance etc. , participants are expected to understand the same
Please do note that participants are expected hence to keep the expectations right and understand the degree of difficulty of the tour. The tour is being undertaken only for Landscape and Astro Landscape Photography and not for any other purpose. Anyone after signing up the tour NOT adhering to the above and the rules of the tour and creating a negative environment for other partcipants or the group leader or for that matter the local support system will get a warning on the same and expelled out of the tour without any refund of the fee. Please join this tour with a strong and open mindset and go out with flying colors of Landscape and Landscape Photography.
5. What are the rules and the protocols to be followed during the course of the tour?
While traveling, the group leaders in the Cabs will decide on the stoppages for Photography. Participants can click from their windows but when it would be required to stop and get down to capture something, it will be decided by the group leaders.
The time for taking images after getting down from the vehicle will be communicated by the group leaders as per the scene in picture. Everyone has to adhere to the timings given. If it is 10 minutes, then everyone should be back in the vehicle in 10 minutes, if more, then more. But be rest assured that ample time will be given to the participants to capture a particular scene in view.
Everyone will have to adhere to the rising time and sleeping time communicated by the group leaders and the participants have to wake up on their own. If someone misses the time, then that person would miss out on the photography opportunity and the group leaders won't be responsible for the same. Since it’s a photography tour, it’s extremely important to catch the right light for the images, both for sunrise and sunset.
While we are photographing at a particular place, no one will come in each other’s frame. If someone wants to capture the exact scene as being captured by the counterpart, it is advised to everyone to allow the first person to complete the shot and then give the chance to second person.
No quarrels during the tour amongst the participants. If anyone faces any issue with any other person, be it for photography or otherwise, one should raise it first to us and we resolve it.
For the logistics, all the participants are advised to follow the regular protocol of calling the hotel helpdesk for any need or the Travel Partner during the trek for the same. If at all, they don’t respond or the problem doesn’t work out, then you can come to us and we will provide the resolution.
Strictly no littering during the tour of plastic bottles, wrappers or any other material. Do carry it back to hotels or a proper disposing place and dispose off properly.
All the participants need to carefully handle their camera equipment, be it the camera, lenses, tripods, memory cards etc. All of you would be responsible for your own belongings. If anyone damages the products given by Nikon India, then that person bears the cost of it.
Every day during the evening chitchat session, we will come to each participant and review their images clicked. It is requested to take the feedback from us in a sporting way and improve upon that.
No Alcohol during the trek.
Moreover one needs to keep in mind that the travels and stay would be a little offbeat and tough in nature with photography being the primary motive. So there would be instances where the meal timings along with some other facilities like pitching of tents, food preparation, toilet tent setting up , dining tent etc will take time and will not be as per schedule though the travel partners will put up their best show to be on time. Participants need to understand here the same and any negativity in the group or talks about the same during the tour will not be taken in a positive spirit and will imply necessary action as it would disturb the positive flow of the photography spirit and will imbibe unnecessary hurdles in creation of images.
For People who would want to take their photographs by going a little away from the group would be at their own responsibility and any mis-happening would not be responsibility of thEscape and it's associates.
We would also discourage any visit during the tour which would be of personal nature like a visit which generally tourists make during the tour as this tour is characterized as a Landscape Photography tour.
Any skip of any destination as mentioned in the itinerary due to any factor not in our control like road block, weather etc, In such cases, we shall be responsible for providing suitable alternatives, the best we can. Any extra cost arising for the same will have to be borne by the participants.
6. What is the minimum and maximum number of participants and what does happen if the minimum participants don't enroll for the tour?
The minimum participation we are looking at is of 4 people . In case the minimum number doesn't enrol, we will try to conduct the tour but with some increased cost per participant.
7. If due to an emergency, the participant wishes to leave the trip in between, is the fee refunded and arrangements made for his/her return to Jammu and their Destination?
In case due to any unforeseen circumstance, a participant wishes to leave in between the trip, No Refund would be made. Moreover the cost of arranging the transport for going back to Jammu and to their respective destination has to be borne by him/her.
8. What Photography Equipment are expected by the participants to carry?
The trip is characterised as a Landscape Photography tour but at the same time invites are also for people who wish to create some art in the mountains in the form of paintings or creative writing which can be published in the anthology. Camera Equipments expected from everyone -
One DSLR/Mirrorless camera along with a wide and telephoto lens
Tripod
Filters for those who want to try out Long Exposures. ND10 and Polariser.
Memory Cards
Shutter Release remote again for Long Exposures
L-bracket who want to take vertical long exposures and panos.
Though this is a comprehensive list, but not hard and fast that everyone will have to carry these. For those who want to carry out simple landscape photography of golden and blue hours and want to learn Astro can just bring in DSLR with lenses and a tripod. For long exposures, the filters are very important along with the shutter release remote.
Since it is a trek to some remote lands with uncertain electricity , we also expect that the photographers get their extra battery sets in case they run out of charge. An extension board for putting in extra chargers would also be handy if participants carry it. For keeping the batteries not running out of charge due to the cold bitter weather, participants can keep them attached to the bare body inside their clothes. For painters and writers, the expectation is that they bring their creative kits with them in the form of copies, pens, painting sheets or canvas, colors etc.
9. Can a participant bring a Non- Photographer Friend or Companion or a Non-Photographer or a Non-Artist Join?
We here invite two sets of people, one who are keen on Landscape Photography and second art adoring people. Apart from these two, if someone wants to join in the tour is welcome because we do a lot of sight seeing too in this tour but subject to the following conditions-
No reduction in Fee Cost

Now since this is a trekking tour, participants need to be physically fit without any ailment which can trigger during a high altitude walk. The treks are for 6-7 hours and participants need to be mentally and physically ready for the same.
