Trekking in Himalayas
When
you look at the map, notice the knot between India, China and Myanmar.
This is the place in the east where the grand Himalayas originate from and
go on to Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal, Kumaon, Garhwal ... don't stop here as the
chain goes up to Kinnaur, Spiti, Ladakh and East Karakoram. India is vast
and so is the Himalaya which forms the northern boundary of India. The
climate as well as geography here are complicated here so you'll
definitely need expert help. But you also need to plan carefully about
where to go, when to go and specially regarding your budget. You'll need
some time to get used to India and once you do that, everything else
begins to click.
The first glimpse of Himalayas is itself going to be quite stunning, so
... be prepared for one of the most spectacular mountain ranges of the
world.
Himalaya is a system of mountains and the most impressive world unto
itself. When you get to the heights, you become one with the landscape
which is an amazing experience which is beyond your imagination. The treks
that we have designed for you take into account every factor related to
you. We realize that you might be a novice with little trekking
experience, or you might be an experienced trekker used to the heights.
Our treks begin from easy adventure to the strenuous ones for those who
are really adventurous.
A Typical Himalayan Trekking Day
6 a. m. is the time when we'll wake you up for tea. The breakfast time is
7 a. m. after which you'll walk for six to seven hours on an average.
We'll serve you packed lunch en route. Your arrival destination will be
readied by the porters before you reach the place at about 3 or 4 p. m.
The dinner will be served early.
Major Trekking sites in Himalayas
Trekking in Ladakh (High)
In
the earlier days the region was out of bounds for the normal tourists so
when it was opened to tourism there was a buzzing excitement in the
tourism circles. The initial treks only covered Leh and some surrounding
villages. The Markha Valley trek and Lamayuru - Padum route trek were the
most popular ones in those days. Now as the adventure tourism is gathering
some momentum, some unexplored areas are also being seen as exiting
trekking options.
Areas such as Suru and Zanskar valleys are increasingly getting popular
among the trekkers. The treks that originate from Panikhar in the Suru
valley lead you to different destinations in Kashmir and Kishtwar valleys.
If you are looking for more challenging treks, then Rangdum is the place
for you to be in.
Trekking in Garhwal and Kumaon (Moderate)
The Garwal region is a delight for the trekkers. The place is scenic,
comprising high mountain valleys and lakes as well as some streams and
some of India's greatest rivers. Some of the major trekking regions of
Garhwal are Harkidun, Tons Valley and Ruinsara Tal, Dodi Tal, Darwa Top,
Yamunotri and Khatling Glacier region. The major trekking regions in
Kumaon are Pindari Glacier, Kafni Glacier Trek etc.
Trekking in Kashmir Valley (High)
Trekking
constitutes a major portion of the adventure sports in Kashmir valley,
though Ladakh is more famous for its treks. Gulmarg is an excellent base
in case you want to trek in the northern Pir Panjal range. Sonmarg is
another major starting point for several important treks.
Trekking in Amarnath (Moderate)
This trek also falls within the Kashmir Valley treks but is hugely
popular due to the fact that it leads straight to the Amarnath cave, which
is one of the holiest naturally occurring shrines. All the stages of the
trek are carefully controlled by the government.
Trekking in Himachal (Moderate to High)
There are four mountain ranges running parallel to one another in
Himachal Pradesh which creates several valleys and passes for you which
are breathtaking for treks to say the least. The Dhauladhar alone has
about 24 passes and 12 over Pir Panjal range. Himachal is a real windfall
for the trekkers.
Trekking in Darjeeling (Low to Moderate) and Sikkim
(Moderate to High)
The Himalayas in its eastern parts has some of the best trekking routes
including some low altitude treks in the lower regions of Darjeeling.
Other famous trekking routes are
Darjeeling-Batast-Tonglo-Sandakphu-return, Singalila trek and Kalimpong
treks. The popular Sikkim treks are trek to Tendong Hill, trek to Menam
Hill, Darjeeling/ Gangtok-Pemanyangtse-Yoksum-Dzongri trek etc.
