Reaching Spiritual and Sacred Sites – India is home to some of the most revered pilgrimage sites in the world. Kedarnath, Vaishno Devi, and Amarnath are not just popular trekking destinations but also have immense spiritual significance.

Wildlife Encounters in National Parks – Many trekking routes in India pass through national parks and wildlife sanctuaries, offering the opportunity to spot rare species of wildlife.

Pangarchulla Peak Trek: If you are looking for a power packed thrilling summit climb, climbing all the way till 15,069 ft, then Pangarchulla Peak trek offers it in spades. It’s a difficult trek with a small window when it is accessible to trekkers, that’s only in April. If you are fit, and are looking for an adrenaline rush, go for it. While the summit climb in itself leaves you with a strong adrenaline rush, what adds to this experience is the mountain views you get from the top. All along the trek you are accompanied along with grand views of a big part of the Greater Himalayan Range. And at the summit, you are surrounded by them and they all stand so close to you.
Surya Top Trek: Surya Top is an extension of our much-loved Dayara Bugyal trek. Trekkers often get teary-eyed upon reaching Dayara meadows on the Dayara Bugyal trek. But Surya Top is a real deal when it comes to experiencing the grandeur of Dayara meadows in its entirety. You trek on the meadows not just for a couple of hours but for two full days! At Devkund, you are at the end of the Dayara meadows. Right behind you are endless stretches of perfectly manicured meadows that extend as far as your eyes can reach. You explore all that Dayara Meadows has to offer. This is only possible when you do the Surya Top Trek. Spring in the Surya Top Trek starts in mid-March and goes on until the end of April. The snow starts to melt in the upper reaches, while the grass begins to turn green in the lower meadows. Tiny flowers make their heads out of the grass, while rhododendrons bloom on the trees.
Ranthan Top: Best Months: April, May, June, September, October. Your campsite at Chofu is very unique. You camp on a slope with open views of the valley and the entire Garhwal mountain ranges in front of you. Photo by Nitesh Kumar. Summer is one of the best times for trekking in the Kumaon region. In this season you can observe different shades of green right throughout the trek. The colour of the trail also starts changing shades of white to greens as you approach the higher regions of the meadow and alpine zone. Wildflowers start blooming on the meadows and around the campsites when you hit June. The grasslands turn a bright shade of green interspersed with bright yellow flowers. Along with the different types of flora on the trek, the mountain views start opening up on clear days. It is truly a colourful experience with the forests, grasslands, and flowers coming to life after months of winter.
How to tackle negative temperatures: Layers. Layers. Layers. The mantra is to carry enough layers. With layers, whether you’re from a sweltering Chennai or a humid Mumbai, you’ll be able to tackle a Himalayan winter. Here’s the trick. Carry five warm layers — a pair of thermals for the night, two sweaters, one fleece jacket and one padded jacket. Along with these you need warm accessories — a woollen cap, gloves, woollen socks (for the night) and a neck warmer. With these, you can deal with the coldest night with no worries. (I’m going to address all of these layers in detail further down). See extra information on Chopta Chandrashila Tungnath Trek.
Use at least two layers for your lower half, even while trekking: Carrying five warm layers for the upper body is normal in Indian trekking. However, trekkers often need clarification about their bottom layers. Should I layer up? Is it required? Should I trek while wearing layers? In such deep snow, the answer is yes. You must carry at least two layers of pants and even wear them while trekking. But what kind of layers should these be? Use light, moisture-wicking fabric even for your lower. The top layer must be good trekking pants with some level of water resistance. The inner layer can be a pair of dry-fit tights. Avoid cotton at all costs in such snowy conditions.
