Untouched Forests And Pristine Waterfalls: Here's A List Of Top Trekking Clubs In Chennai
Chennai Trekking Club

They organise two-three weekend treks, mostly in and around South India. They have organised close to 300 treks to date.

Wandermile organises regular treks and camping, for example, you can trek to Nagalapuram and watch a thousand butterflies swarm in the woods, dive into a quarry, or camp out at Gandikota, the Grand Canyon of India. Besides South India, they also do treks to well-known destinations in the Himalayas in Himachal Pradesh.
