India has world-class trekking opportunities, particularly in the Himalaya, where staggering snow-clad peaks, traditional tribal villages, sacred Hindu sites, ancient Buddhist monasteries and blazing fields of wildflowers are just some of the features that create extraordinary mountain experiences. Hit the trails for easy half-day jaunts or strenuous multi-day expeditions.
The commercial trekking industry is not much developed in India, so some places still feel wild and relatively unspoilt. Wherever you go, make sure you have any permits you may need, and monitor your health – acute mountain sickness is a serious risk on trails over 3000m. Beware of herding dogs in the mountains; they’re famously aggressive.
This International Mountain Day, let us go through some of the best mountain treks in the country.
