Best Time for Trekking in India

Each season envelops the Himalayan mountains in a unique condition. While you cannot trek some places in all seasons, there are many treks in India that are passable almost throughout the year. Thus, the best season for trekking in India depends on which face of Himalayas trekking you want to explore.

Spring Season Trekking (March - April)

With spring wildflowers burst into bloom, transforming the landscape of Himalayan treks into a breathtaking display of natural colors. Top spring treks in India include Dayarabugyal, kedarkantha, Hampta pass, kareri lake, GoechaLa, and Tarsarmarsar.

Summer Trekking (April - June)

Summertime is best to do those high-altitude treks which become inaccessible in winter. Snow melts and the landscape becomes a jolly paradise under the clear skies. Beas kund, bhrigu lake, Choptachandrashila trek, satopanth lake, Kanchenjunga base camp, etc are some top summer treks.

Monsoon Trekking (July - August/September)

Monsoon paints the mountains green, especially Uttarakhand and Himachal. Ladakh stays dry, offering classic Himalayan beauty. Explore the Valley of Flowers, Hemkund Sahib, Kedarnath, Hampta Pass, or Kashmir's Great Lakes during monsoon.

Autumn Trekking (October - November)

The transition of summer into winter brings one of the best times to explore Himalayan treks, before it engulfs in snow. Enjoy the warm days and chilly nights with a delightful bonfire on treks like the great lakes trek of Kashmir, Buran GhatiTrek, GaumukhTapovanTrek, DeoriaTal - ChoptaTrek, Sandakphu Trek, and Goechala trek.

Winter Trekking (November - February/March)

Although the snowy trails require more endurance, treks in winter offer the most spellbinding landscapes of the mighty Himalayas. Even some treks like the ChadarTrek are exclusive for winter, as it requires walking on the frozen Zanskar River. Few winter treks include Kuari pass trek, BrahmatalTrek, ChandrashilaTrek, and ChadarFrozen River trek.

Most Popular Himalayan Treks

The beautiful facets of an Incredible Indiaresonate in her ethereal topography and megalithic mountains that mock on your paltry existence. The Indian side of Himalayas proudly lives up to its hype and offers a bounty of some of the best trekking destinations in the world.

A trek to the covetedStok-Kangri Expedition often attracts locking visitors with its glamour of being the highest itinerary summit in India at 6153mts [20080 ft.] and a view of the northern most point of Himalayas.

The Shivlingsummit off Gangotri valley taunts humanity at +6000 meters and even the non- believers are known to rejoice in this vertical heaven where horizon spells out the pristine glaciers and every stone reverberates with the existence of Lord Shiva himself.

Chadar Trekis again a one of its kind pre-historic passage in to infinite ice, sprawling across the frozen Zanskar River. Purple mountains that turn to Scarlet without prior notice will flash you by on this trip where more than the climbing skills, nature will test your wits against the chill as this trek can only be done in the winter months of January - February.

Types of Treks in India

The expeditions may be rated between easy to moderate and difficult levels of trekking and vary as per the geological nature and vertical character of the unique Indian Terrains.

  • Easy Treks: They turn out to be immensely popular family treks and corporate getaways. The trek to the 'Valley of Flowers' is an endless terrain of colors and exotic flowers and the scenic Mani Mahesh Kailash trek are often termed as one of the places to see before you die and are relatively easier climbs.
  • Moderate Treks: They are recommended for adventure lovers, as these trails require a certain level of experience and expertise. The tough routed Sathopanth Tal Trek, where glacial lakes are galore en-route is one such climb. Garhwal like the rest of Northern India offers a wide choice of easy to medium treks for every adventure palette.
  • Difficult Treks: Such tracks are best suited for an experienced climber (who has undertaken high altitude trekking), owing to the cumbersome nature of the trek. The Nanda Devi East Base Camp in Kumaon region and Junglam trek in Ladakh are few examples that fit this category due to their treacherous hike.
