The wide, panoramic views from the Sandakphu summit are two die for yet are not the only driving forces behind this incredible trek. The entire journey from the very first day to the last day offers unique and peculiar experiences allowing you to witness a wide range of emotions. What makes the Sandakphu trek even exciting and noteworthy is the consistent sneaking in and out of the two countries-India and Nepal. You get to catch brief glimpses of the lives of two countries as you juggle India and Nepal to reach the summit of Sandakphu, and the experience is everything surreal.

 Given the excellently rich geographic diversity in Uttarakhand, there are innumerable treks cradled by the state. Many of these treks dive into realy remote and unexplored nooks of the state and allow you to experience nature like never before. Two amazing, moderate grade trekking expeditions in Uttarakhand that prove to be nothing less than a roller coaster ride are the Kuari Pass Trek and the Pangarchulla Trek nestled in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand. KUARI PASS TREK - The Kuari Pass is a highly engrossing trek that was first found by Lord Curzon, a really-really long time ago. It is a remarkable trek that also serves as an ideal ice-breaker for amateurs as well as trekking enthusiasts. With spellbinding, panoramic views of the Garhwal Himalayas, it remains one of the most admired and sought after treks of Uttarakhand, of all time. The trek spans over 33 km, and is completed in six days with the highest altitude being 12,763 ft. Besides the spine-chilling gallery o...

 Uttarakhand is easily every Indian trekker’s go-to destination, second to the state of Himachal Pradesh. With the Garhwal Himalayas in its ambit, the state offers innumerable trekking expeditions that allow you to relish the soul-stirring experience of trekking in the Himalayas but with lesser efforts and struggles. While there are many treks that dive into remote areas of the state and provide exotic views of wilderness at its best, the Chandrashila Trek is one of the few Indian treks that makes you traverse heavily crowded areas and yet remains mind-blowingly exhilarating. If you have not hopped onto treks in January in Uttarakhand, the Chandrashila trek has got to be the first one on the list. Since the Chandrashila Peak towers up to 12,000 ft, in January it remains completely smothered with powdery snow. Snow-laden mountains are found quite often but what makes the Chandrashila mountain stand apart from the rest are the trails full of passionate pilgrims. The very act of wal...

  Deoriatal Chandrashila Trek is an easy to moderate grade trek that encircles the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand offering thrilling and entrancing experiences like none other. The highest point in the trek is at the Chandrashila summit that towers as high as 13,100 ft. This trek is completed within five days and is one of the best treks to do in Uttarakhand, especially during winters. Besides the fascinating landscapes, the Deoriatal Chandrashila Trek also enjoys religious significance because of the Tungnath temple that lies en route, perched at an altitude of 12,000 ft. The Tungnath temple is also known to be the world’s highest temple of Lord Shiva and remains one of the key driving forces behind this trek. More often than not, the trails to the Chandrashila summit are crowded with believers and pilgrims from all across the world elevating the experience of trekking to a whole new level. The Deoriatal Chandrashila Trek remains remarkably rousing and entrancing from the very...

  Sandakphu is an enormous mountain perched on the Singalila Ridge that bridges the two countries of India and Nepal. This mountain towers approximately 12,000 ft high and offers some of the most surreal, goosebumps-worthy, panoramic views of four of the world’s tallest mountains. While these views can be thoroughly enjoyed and admired all year round, the best time to visit Sandakphu is in the month of December. Treks in December generally are overwhelmingly satisfying with fresh, powdery snow smeared all over most northern hilly areas. But the Sandakphu trek specifically is beyond explanation for the kind of experience it allows trekking enthusiasts to experience in December. If you do not believe me, have a look at the five reasons mentioned below to join my clan and go gaga over the same - 1) The consistent juggling between India and Nepal - One of the best parts about the Sandakphu trek is that it demands the sneaking in and out of the two countries to reach the top. After ...

 Whether you are a person who enjoys exotic arid desert landscapes or someone who finds ethereal beauty in the vast sprawling, lush green meadows, here are two excellently interesting, adventurous, and spine-chilling treks to comfort both types of wanderers with completely opposite trekking preferences - DAYARA BUGYAL TREK - An esteemed highly admired and drooled-over trek, the Dayara Bugyal Trek is one of Uttarakhand’s most splendid treks of all time. Spread over a whopping 24 sq km of enticing land, the Dayara meadow rises as high as 12,100 ft and remains a gateway to spellbinding as well as arresting views of the Garhwal Himalayas. With each season, this epitome of beauty transitions from appearing vibrant, lush green, and refreshing during summer, to appearing golden brown with green and snow-covered patches of land during spring, and to snow-smothered, milky white during winter. Besides the seasonal highlights, there are several other aspects that remain constant through...

  Trekking in the Himalayas is a flavourful and peculiar experience, the beauty of which is inexplicable. The overwhelming feeling of finding mighty mountain ranges sitting gracefully in the forefront as you juggle your way to the top is truly other-worldly. Brought to life by Lord Curzon, the Kuari Pass Trek is a highly admired, one of its kind trekking expedition in Uttarakhand that gives a subtle insight into what it means to be trekking in the Himalayas.   When we think of the Himalayas, more often than not we think of extremely rough terrains, tremendously daunting landscapes, extreme temperatures, and everything highly challenging or extraordinary. This subconsciously registered picture of trekking in the Himalayas is not entirely right. Although trekking in the heart of the Himalayas is indefinitely a nail-biting and painfully challenging experience, trekking in the lower Himalayas is neither that painful nor that dramatic. In fact, the Kuari Pass Trek is one of th...

 The withering autumn season is uniquely beautiful especially with the winter season subtly sweeping in. And November is the only month in the year that witnesses this fine collision of the autumn and winter seasons and that is precisely why it is not only a highly admired month but is also a very hospitable month for outdoor activities. Trekking especially can be thoroughly enjoyed during the month of November given its impressive climatic conditions, especially in terrains with lower temperatures. While there are innumerable fascinating treks that can be done in the month of November, the one trek that I indefinitely enjoy completing in November is the Brahmatal Trek in Uttarakhand. Most treks in November are excellently pleasant but the Brahmatal Trek, particularly, simply steals the show. Here is why - 1) For the transitioning landscapes casting away their autumn appearance and slowly pulling over carpets of snow -   As you step outside to kick-start the Brahmatal trek in...

 Meadows are perfect destinations for quick or short getaways.

Occupying an area of 28 sq km, the Dayara Bugyal rises to a whopping height of 12,100 ft and continues to bewilder travelers with its peculiar beauty. Wide screen views of epic mountain ranges such as the Gangotri Range, Bandarpoonch Range, and the Garhwal Himalayas are easily accessed on the Dayara Bugyal trek and that is precisely why this trek remains highly drooled over. Every trekking company that executes the Dayara Bugyal trek, starts the trek from the enticing city of Dehradun since Dehradun remains the easiest gateway to the Dayara Bugyal...

 Given the rich topographical diversity found in India, India sure has a lot to offer trekking enthusiasts from across the world. Its exotic geography makes it one of the most ideal places in the world for trekkers to thrive in. Although the list of exciting Indian trekking expeditions that offer marvelous scenic views and unique experiences is unending, the Deoriatal Chandrashila Trek and the Sandakphu Trek are two amongst a few treks that sit right on top of the list and have been winning hearts since forever. DEORIATAL CHANDRASHILA TREK - Nestled in the enticing and ever-refreshing Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand, the Chandrashila Trek sneaks into some of the most exotic nooks of Uttarakhand to allow trekkers to discover and experience the Godly views of the magnificent Chandrashila peak.
