Trekmunk: Best Trekking Company in India

 Trekking in the summer season sure sounds like a plan. Everything about this season reminds me of liveliness. With the vibrant landscapes, blooming flora, brightly shining sun, and pleasantly gurgling rivers, the summer season indeed is refreshing as well as enlivening. Having accomplished a variety of easy, moderate, and difficult-grade treks across various parts of the country, I have had the privilege to witness admirably beautiful landscapes, exotic mountain views, and thrilling experiences. When I think of the treks to do in the summer season, my head gets flooded with several treks around the country. But the two treks that have stayed with me ever since I completed them are the Nag Tibba and Bali Pass Treks. And here is why - NAG TIBBA TREK - Encapsulated in the Tehri Garhwal region of Uttarakhand, the Nag Tibba is an admirable robust peak that towers as high as 9,910 ft in the sky. Covering just 16 km, the Nag Tibba trek is a child and family-friendly trek that is co...

  During winters most of the treks are shut down due to heavy snowfall in higher altitude regions. But as they say, exceptions are always there. We have listed down the 5 greatest   winter treks   to kick-off your adrenaline. No more waiting for the snow to melt. 1.  HAR KI DUN TREK Har ki dun literally translates to the valley of gods.   Numerous local beliefs and myths suggest that this is the valley through which Pandavas made their way to heaven. This cradle shaped valley offers a panoramic view of the surrounding mountain peaks, peaks so high that they make you doubt your existence in the world. Running through fragrant orchids, sprawling meadows, and dense alpine forest, the valley remains covered with snow for a good number of months. This moderate trek takes you to one of the least explored regions of Garhwal Himalayas where civilization has not yet affected the lifestyle of the simple village folk living here. The trail runs alongside rhododendron trees...

 Lying east to the iconic Rohtang Pass, roughly 77 km away, is the pristine and enchanting Bhrigu Lake nestled at the foothills of the Pir Panjal Mountain Range of the Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh. Perched at an altitude of 14,100 ft, the Bhrigu Lake is a devastatingly beautiful, emerald blue lake that is also locally held with sacred regard. The enticing views of the majestic mountain peaks and scenic surroundings witnessed from Bhrigu Lake are jaw-dropping, unbelievably surreal, and truly other-worldly.

Nestled at an approximate altitude of 6,730 ft, Manali is a beautiful town with an appeasing and hospitable ambiance. It is well connected to various neighb...

 The beauty of Brahmatal lies in the seasonally transitioning landscapes that gracefully switch between shades of milky white during winters, lush green during monsoons, and refreshing brown during springs.
