Trekking Adventure in the Himalayan Kingdom

The mighty Himalayan kingdom is one of the largest and well-known mountain ranges of the world. Himalayas separate the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan plateaux, and are home to the highest peaks including K2 and Mount Everest.

The Himalayan mountain range is spread across six countries including Afghanistan, Bhutan, China, India, Nepal, and Pakistan. Some of the world's major rivers, the Indus, the Ganges, the Brahmaputra, and the Yangtze, rise in the Himalayas.

Famous for its picturesque views and heavenly locations, the Himalayas offer rich opportunities for trekking adventure. Ascending the heights and being a part of the Himalayan landscape is an experience that you will cherish for all your life. Trekking in the Himalayas is a mix of fun, thrill and adventure.

The treks in Himalayas are often categorized as easy, moderate and tough. Easy treks can be explored by amateurs in areas such as Indrahar Pass and Chandra Tal. Among the moderate treks, you can experience ‘Dalhousie-Manali over Marhu Pass’ and Dharamsala Nayagroeon Trekking. Friendship Peak and ‘Jagatsukh to Base of Deo Tibba’ are treks meant for die-hard trekkers.

If you are new to trekking in India, it is advisable to take help of a professional tour organizer. The organizers can not only manage complete logistics but also help you select the right trek as per your ability. In fact, some agencies also offer the help of Sherpas, local inhabitants who are well-versed with the mountain areas.
