4 min readPin Bhaba Pass trek tours in India today: Trekking in India offers a wealth of advantages for both seasoned adventurers and beginners. Here’s a rundown of the key benefits that make India a fantastic trekking destination: Rich Cultural Exposure – Trekking in India means exploring vibrant, diverse cultures. You’ll encounter different languages, customs, festivals, and local traditions as you trek through villages and interact with indigenous communities. It’s a cultural immersion that goes beyond mere sightseeing. Discover more info at Har Ki Dun Trek.
Seasonal Flexibility – Depending on where you trek, you can find opportunities to hit the trails throughout the year. While the Himalayas are ideal in summer, the lower-altitude treks in places like Kerala or Uttarakhand are fantastic in the winter or monsoon. Adventure Beyond Trekking – Many trekking areas offer other adventure activities such as river rafting, paragliding, camping, and mountain biking, so you can combine your love for trekking with other thrilling experiences.
Chirbatiya Weekend Trek – Difficulty: Easy. A new addition to our trek roster, the Chirbatiya weekend trek’s highlight is its campsites. It offers a 270 degree view of the greatest mountains of the Greater Himalayas — Mrigthuni, Trishul, Nanda Devi, Chang-Bang, Dronagiri, Neelkanth, Chaukhamba, Kedarnath — just to name a few. Even though this is a short trek, it has the charm of certain longer Himalayan treks. For example, a break-point you cross enroute the Patangnia meadows will remind you of Bekaltal from Brahmatal trek. In the same season, we also have exclusive family treks to Kedarkantha and Dayara Bugyal. We organise the trek specially for families with children, to enhance their learning from the outdoors.
In mid March, when winter starts to recede, snow is still around. A carpet of fresh grass sprouts around these snow patches. It makes meadows and clearings above 9,000 feet a delight. The lush grass with ankle-length flowers against the backdrop of snow is a visual treat. Shaking off the harshness of winter, new leaves start sprouting on trees. Flowers bloom. The landscape is a riot of colours. Spring is in the air. Birds wake up from their winter slumber. Their voices spring through the forests. For those who love bird photography, Spring is the time of the year to do treks.
Buran Ghati: Best Months: May, June, September, October. Any nature lover will go weak at the knees on this trek. This is by far the most perfect trek we have seen — it has the best parts of India’s greatest treks stitched together in one trek. I had sent you a brilliant video on it last week. Watch it here if you missed it. This trek has the prettiest forest sections, unimaginably beautiful meadows of Dayara, and perhaps the best campsite out of all our treks, nestled in the meadows. To add to that is the thrilling pass crossing at 15,000 ft. where you rappel down a snow wall. It’s an incredible trek and I hate to say it, but I think everyone at Indiahikes is biased towards this trek!
On a trek your body is exerting, it’s generating heat so you don’t need the layers. But after the trek, your body starts cooling down. It starts losing heat. To prevent this, you need to layer up, get into something dry quickly after you finish your day’s trek. This helps in retaining your core body heat. How to tackle the presence of snow: In most other seasons, when you trek, you walk on bare land, footstep after footstep with no worries. In winter though, once you reach a certain altitude (usually above 9,000 ft), there’s no more bare land. All your footsteps are in snow. This becomes challenging when the snow is above ankle-deep. Your foot sinks in and it takes effort to pick it up and put your next step forward. There are a few ways to tackle this presence of snow. Discover additional details on Gaumukh Tapovan Trek.
If only waterproof socks existed five years ago, a lot of frostbites and chilblains could have been avoided says Trekup India, remembering the case of one of our trek leaders, who had to stop all physical activity for six months after getting a bad case of frostbite in the snow. We all know that trekking in the snow is fun. The not-so-fun part is when the snow gets into your shoes. In 3–4 hours of walking on snow, the water seeps in through the shoe’s fabric to its inner layer, wetting your socks and, eventually, your feet. That’s when the misery starts.
