I love India, truly with all my heart. And the Himalayas are my best spot for relaxation. I have listed some of my favorite treks. Hope this will make your research easy.
1. Roopkund Lake
If you are into
planning for the first time, the Roopkund trek is a must do! It will be a
bundle of everything for you. Deep forests, snowy heights, breath-taking
campsites, and miles of meadows. It will make your visit to India a great
success. You will have to climb from 8000 ft to 16000. It will take around 5
days. There are many camp organizers for this trek.
2. ‘Valley Of Flowers’
The most beautiful
Himalayan flowers - blue Primula can be seen in this path of trekking. This
trek is almost 47 Km long. The best time to see the valley is from mid-July to
mid-August.To reach the valley one has to trek from Govind Ghat, on the route
to Hemkund Sahib, up to Ghangaria. This trek can be completed in around 6 days.
It’s a very beautiful trek to experience.
3. Crossing over Hampta Pass
The trek has
something for everyone. The 35 km of Hampta Pass trek is a classic trek for
first-timers, who are looking to experience trekking in the Himalayas. So the
first Kilometres are not tough. Trek goes through a high-altitude meadow to the
campsite at Chikka. There is Chandrataal,
alpine lake, Rohtang Pass. All these places will add to your amazing experience
and you will have memories to cherish for life.
4. Malana Village Trek
Malana Village Trek
is the ideal trek that lets you explore the beautiful part of Himalayas. The snow-capped
Dhaula Dhar in the south to Hanuman Tibba, Solang Valley, and the lush green
path will make it very beautiful that you would like to make house and spend
your life here. It is believed that the
villagers residing in this village are the descendant of the great Alexander
the Great’s soldiers. Spend some time by the small streams and experience the
warmth of nature.
5. Bhrigu Lake
The Bhrigu Lake trek
is a beautiful one through meadows and forests near Rohtang Pass. Bhrigu Lake
trek is a short trek near Manali which takes you to pristine lake Bhrigu Lake
located at an elevation of around 4300 meters in Kullu district. This one is the
most recommended trek if you are trekking for the first time. It is short and
easy. This one is one of the most beautiful treks in the Manali region, Bhrigu
Lake trek, undoubtedly, gives you the most satisfying trekking experiences of
the lifetime.
6. Nag Tibba
Nag Tibba trek near
Mussoorie is one of the few treks in Uttarakhand that is accessible so quickly
and offers grand views of Himalayan summits! This trek is an ideal weekend trek
suited for most people for refreshment from boring routine life. Nag Tibba is a
Small Trek in the Shivalik range of lower Himalayas Uttarakhand and is the
highest peak in the lesser Himalayan region of Uttarakhand state. Again I would
not recommend this trek for an extremely active nature lovers. But first-timers
and people aiming for refreshment more than adventure can go for this one.
7. Biagini glacier

Trekking is at Garhwal Himalayas. It is the most amazing trekking point for the
trekkers who love adventurous treks. This can be done in around 6 days. you get a chance to literally walk on this
