Trekking

 

Foothills of the Himalayas (besides other lesser known inland mountain ranges) offer breath-taking treks. While the options are unending but it is advisable to stick to the better known treks, where it is difficult to get lost, and where help of fellow trekkers and guides can be sought.

 

Also trekking culture as a whole, especially amenities like trekking lodges, support from locals, well-defined routes, rescue facilities, accommodation and food, etc. are hard to find even on some common trekking routes. The best bet is finding a local trekking agency, which organize group treks to popular destinations.

Destinations like Pin Valley, Hamta Pass trek, Chamba Valley, and Great Himalayan National Park (all in the state of Himachal Pradesh,), Char Dham pilgrim routes, Har ki Dun, Nanda Devi Sanctuary, and Kauri Pass (all in Uttranchal state), Ladhak, Nun Kun Massif, Stok Kangri, and Zanskar region (in state of Jammu & Kashmir), etc. are worth mentioning. The list is by no means complete, but only indicative.
