Where to go trekking in India
India's vastness provides a rich array of trekking experiences. The Himalayas in the north are perfect for high-altitude treks, including the famous Leh-Ladakh region and the spiritual trails of Uttarakhand. In the south, the Western Ghats offer lush forest trails and hilltop temples, while the desert treks of Rajasthan unveil a starkly beautiful landscape.
Why is India great for trekking?
The diverse terrains, ancient pilgrimage routes, and abundance of national parks make India a premier destination for trekkers. Whether it's the challenging passes of the Himalayas or the biodiversity hotspots in the Western Ghats, India's trails offer both natural wonders and cultural depth.
When to trek in India
The ideal trekking season varies by region. For the Himalayas, May to September is best, avoiding the winter snow. The cooler months of October to March are perfect for desert and southern treks, offering pleasant temperatures and clear skies.
