The Greatest Treks of India The Himalayas span across northern India from the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh in the east to Kashmir in the west.  Sikkim  in eastern India is famous for several trekking that skirt the base of Kanchenjunga the world’s third tallest mountain. Sikkim is one of the wettest places in the Himalayas and the culture is dominantly Buddhist. The central portion of the Indian Himalayas which includes the states of  Himachal Pradesh  and  Uttarakhand  is famous for its trekking routes many of which are also Hindu Pilgrimages that go high into the Himalayas.  Ladakh  in the west is one of the driest regions of the Himalaya and provides good trekking options when the rest of the region is experiencing Monsoon rainfall.  Kashmir occupies the westernmost portion of the Himalayas and has often been referenced as “heaven on earth” for its beautiful alpine meadows and majestic pine forests although the beauty is at times overshadowed by security risks.

Saraswati river 3 km from Badrinath, at Mana one can see the Holy Saraswati emerging out of the rocks and falling down furiously. Saraswati river cannot be seen in the plains. Towards the end one can see the Saraswati merging into the Alaknanda river. The sangam or confluence of Alaknanada and Saraswati river is called Keshav Prayag. Saraswati is an ancient river that flowed in Northern India during the Vedic era. It originated in the Himalayas and flowed westwards to join the Arabian sea. It was earlier thought to be a mythological river that existed only in the Vedas. Recent discoveries have proved that this river did indeed exist during the Vedic era about 6000 years back. The aerial photos from NASA and ISRO satellites have revealed the dried up river bed and geological excavations have proved the same.
