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. Kashmiroccupies 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.

Annapurna Circuit Trek, Nepal This Himalaya range is situated in central Nepal and is one of the most spectacular trekkings in Nepal. The Annapurna trek reaches 18,000 feet above sea level, but through most of the trek the vegetation is lush.
