Trekking in India offers an immersive adventure that’s hard to replicate anywhere else in the world. Whether you’re seeking stunning natural landscapes, cultural insights, spiritual journeys, or an adrenaline rush, India has it all. Here are some of the best experiences that make trekking in India unforgettable: Sunrise at the Top of the World – One of the most magical experiences on an Indian trek is waking up early to witness the sunrise from the summit. Treks like Kedarkanth, Har Ki Dun, and Nag Tibba in Uttarakhand, or Chopta in Himachal Pradesh, offer some of the best sunrises you’ll ever see, with the mountains glowing golden in the first light.
Har Ki Dun Trek: The Har Ki Dun trek is a cultural favourite — in the early part of the trek you pass through ancient wooden villages that still stand the same despite being many centuries old. The stories and legends of these villages date back to the mythologies. Later, the astounding scenery that changes every day can leave anyone breathless. Do such places exist in our country?! Khopra Ridge Trek – Difficulty: Moderate – Difficult. The panaroma of snow capped mountains as you see from Nag Tibba summit. Picture by Bharat Monga. We all know summit climbs are incredibly rewarding in a trek. This is why we have trekkers flocking to treks like Kedarkantha or Deoriatal – Chandrashila. In a trail like Nag Tibba, you get to experience the thrill of a summit climb in just a weekend! And it is one of the best short treks to do in Spring.
Goechala: Best Months: April, May, September, October. The biggest reason to do the Goechala trek is the grand views of big mountains that you see. You don’t just see one summit — the Kanchenjunga — but 14 other big summits. That’s a lot for any trek — especially as close to the eyes as on the Goechala trek. It is no wonder that trekkers consider Goechala to be the closest to the big mountain treks of Nepal. The trail to Goechala is blessed with rhododendron forests. And come spring-summer months of April and May, they burst to life with pink and red flowers! It’s an enormously pleasing walk through the wooden-log trails of these jungles! The Samiti Lake is another big attraction on the Goechala trek. The view of the still waters, and the reflection of Mt Pandim in the lake, especially in the early hours, is a visual treat.
Dayara Bugyal: Best Months: January, February, march, April, May, June, September, October, November, December. Very few trekkers have set foot on the Dayara Bugyal trek, even though it lies very close to the Gangotri region. Dayara Bugyal is one of those off-beat treks which takes your breath away! It is so rewarding for very little effort. The vast meadows, beautiful campsites and stunning mountain views make Dayara Bugyal an ideal summer trek. Especially if there are kids aged 7 years and above, because it makes for a perfect family trek, just like the Phulara Ridge trek above.
Use microspikes and gaiters. If you’re trekking with Indiahikes, we will be providing you with microspikes and gaiters to attach to your shoes. You will get these just before you step into snow. Microspikes give you Spiderman-like grip on snow. Gaiters cover up the opening of your shoes, not allowing snow to enter your shoes. This keeps your feet dry and comfortable. Work extra hard on your fitness. It’s no secret that trekking in snow is going to be more tiring than trekking without snow. Which is why you cannot underestimate your fitness preparation. We’ll address this further down. Find additional info at Kashmir Great Lakes Trek.
Use only dry-fit layers while trekking: This goes in line with avoiding the cold and moisture-killer combination. Cotton layers tend to get wet with sweat and refuse to dry. A moisture-wicking fabric helps for both your top and bottom layers. Use dry-fit layers or modern fabrics like merino wool, which wick moisture away when wet. Even then, once you reach the campsite, make it a point to change into dry clothes immediately.
