If there’s one thing India is highly famous for, it’s the Himalayan range. Something no one can really find any faults in, something we Indians wear like a badge of pride, something that makes us pack our bags in a jiffy to find peace, because therapy is expensive. It’s the peaks in the middle of chaos that turn us into adventurers, hikers, go-getters, and risk-takers. That’s the impact mountains have on us.
While the adventure factor is still very much there, we need to talk about how some treks have become so crowded, it’s like finding a slice of the city in the mountains. And isn’t that exactly what we’re trying to escape? But there we are, standing in a queue for a summit photo, cropping people out.
But again, India has a lot, a lot more to offer beyond these crowded trails. And to help you and me explore the best ones, I did a whole lot of research and reached out to people who trek every other weekend.
Here’s all the good stuff I found, the best, lesser-known alternatives to popular Himalayan treks in India!
