High Altitude Trekking Regions of the Himalayas
Ladakh is one of the driest regions in Northern India. Nevertheless, most
passes within Ladakh can be crossed by the end of June, which is the earliest
time to undertake an extended trek through Ladakh, Zanskar or out of Panikhar
in the Suru valley. In the months of July and August the daytime temperatures
rise in the Ladakh region to mid 20 degree Celsius and for trekkers, the heat
and the intense UV light require special caution. This is also the time for
the occasional storm, which can result in snow falling at higher elevations.
When planning a trek in the higher altitude Himalayan regions, you must
therefore consider that the temperature may vary by over 20 degree Celsius in
a day. While most treks are undertaken in the Ladakh region in July and
August, Autumn, from early September to mid-October is also the season ideal
for trekking.

The Great Himalayan Range is the main mountain divide between the region of
Kashmir and Ladakh. Most trekking possibilities are to the east of the Kashmir
Valley, where the Amarnath and Kolahoi ranges merge with the main Himalayan
Range. In this region a series of alpine valleys including the Sindh and the
Lidder provide the major routes into the main Himalayas.
Trek Roadheads
The major trek road heads in the
Indian Himalayan region include
Kashmir Valley, Kishtwar, Zanskar, Ladakh, Lahaul & Spiti, Chamba and Manali.
Shimla is the gateway to the Hindustan-Tibet Road, Kinnaur and Spiti as well
as Eastern Himachal for the Pabbar Valley, Nahan and Renuka Lake. These
roadheads are nearer to the Garhwal trekking routes, which originate in the
valleys of the Yamuna, Bhagirathi and the Alaknanda, usually approached from
Dehradun or Rishikesh.
Moving a little eastward towards the Gangetic region is the renowned Corbett
National Park, which reaches the Kumaon lakes of Nanital and Bhimtal. These
hill stations with neighbouring Ranikhet, Almora and the Goriganaga villages
still retain the flavour of the old trails to the Pindari and Milam glaciers
and the Lipulekh Pass, leading to Mansarovar.

The Trekking Season in Himalayas
The trekking season in the Himalayas starts from late spring to summer, covers
virtually the whole year including winter at lower altitude regions. Himachal
also offers a virtual bonanza for trekkers that range from moderate to
strenuous treks, which take about 11 days and the season is June to October.
Among the Garhwal and Kumaon hills of Uttaranchal the ideal trekking time is
best between the months of May to October. Often trekking can also be done in
the winter months at lower altitudes of Kumaon region.
Last but definitely not the least the trekking destinations of Himalayas in
India are Darjeeling and Sikkim and the most rewarding season in which one can
travel these two hill places is between May and October. For the energetic
leisure seeker and adventurer, keen to take up a rare wilderness experience,
few destinations in the world would match the dimensions of Arunachal Pradesh
where the best trekking season starts from October to February.
