Introduction
The Indian Himalayas is the highest mountain range in the entire world. They are also one of India’s greatest natural treasures. They are home to stunning peaks and glaciers as well as rivers. There are many ways you can explore this land, from hiking through tropical forests to visiting ancient heart temples to exploring ancient ruins. But trekking is my favorite way to get around. This article will explain why trekking is an amazing way to explore India’s mountain ranges (and beyond), and which treks I recommend for you to try on your next trip West (or elsewhere). It also includes tips about what gear you should bring with you when you venture into high-altitude areas.
Sar Pass
Sar Pass trek in India’s Indian state Jammu and Kashmir. Sar Pass is situated at 5,438m (17,800ft) above sea level. It connects Banihal and Gagret via Kishenganga Valley.
Hampta Pass
Jammu and Kashmir in India is home to the Hampta Pass. This moderate trek takes you through snowcapped mountains and rugged terrain with views of glaciers and alpine meadows.
This is the best time to hike this route. It’s also when the weather is at its best. You won’t need to worry about rain and snowfall. Over three days, the total distance covered will be 41km (25 miles). Along the route, you’ll gain approximately 1,300m (4,265ft) elevation.
Pin Parvati Pass
Pin Parvati Pass, a mountain pass in Himalayas. It can be reached by trekking enthusiasts who are prepared to trek through thick forests and rough terrain. It takes approximately 10 days to walk the trail up to this destination. However, if time is a constraint, it may take three days or less.
Pin Parvati Base Camp (4200m) is the best way to get there. It’s located just below the summit station. Here you can rest up before continuing down towards Pin Parvati Lake, or further down towards Manali.
Chadar Trek
Chadar Trek is a popular trekking route in India’s Ladakh region. It is named after the Zanskar River, which freezes at night. This name literally means “sunrise”. Many photographers and travelers have made this trek famous, taking photos of its beauty.
The Chadar Trek begins at Padum Gompa monastery at 6500 feet above sealevel. You will then travel through rugged terrain to reach Demchok, where you can rest for the night before you continue your journey tomorrow morning.
Roopkund Trek
Roopkund Trek, a popular trekking route in the Himalayas, is very popular. The trek is located in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district. It can be completed in three days, if you do not stop to take in any sights. This trek’s summit is at 4,175m (13,000ft), and the lowest point is at 2,400m (7,900ft).
It is best to visit the area between October and March, when temperatures are cool but not too warm so you don’t get too cold at night. This might be a good option if you are looking for something other than simply admiring the beauty of nature.
Kedarkantha trek
The Kedarkantha Trek is one of India’s most popular treks. The trek is located in Himachal Pradesh near Binsar and features a 6-day trek that offers stunning views of the Himalayas. You can do this trek in April or May, depending on your preference. However, it is best to do it during the off-season when there are fewer tourists.
Start the Kedarkantha Trek early in the morning from Delhi. It takes approximately 5 hours to travel by train. There are many temples to see along the way, such as Lakhwar Temple or Barada Ghat. These are well worth visiting!
Stok Kangri
Stok Kangri is the highest peak of the Gangotri range of peaks. It is found in Uttarakhand and Garhwal Himalayas. It is the second highest peak in India at 6,120 metres above the sea level.
The trek from Bhimtal to Gauranga Falls via Himachal Pradesh’s Chandrashila Wildlife Sanctuary and Kedarnath Peak Trek takes approximately 3-4 days, depending on your level of fitness and travel time.
Rupin Pass
Rupin Pass, a high-mountain pass in the Himalayas, connects Chamba District in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand’s Mandi District. It lies at the border of Uttarakhand Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh.
Rupin Pass is a popular trek in India due to its beautiful scenery, challenging terrain and fascinating flora & fauna. This location is between 6,847 feet (2.050 m), above the mean sea level (AMSL), and 8600 feet AMSL. This trek allows you to see something new every day, or at least once in your life.
April to June is the best time to start trekking in the Himalayas. It’s not too hot, nor too cold. You can enjoy all of India’s beauty.
A trek is a great option if you’re planning to travel to India. Because it is not too hot or too cold, this is the best time to start trekking in the Himalayas. It’s a great time to see India’s beautiful sights, but it’s not overwhelming. Every day you will see new sights and have the chance to experience their beauty firsthand. If there is one thing that will make your trip memorable, and make the hours spent onboard seem like nothing, it would be to do some kind of adventure before you return home.
