India’s mountain ranges provide plenty of trekking and mountaineering options for all fitness levels, whether you’d prefer a leisurely day hike or a challenging walk along the frozen Zanskar River (the Chadar Ice Trek). These top treks in Ladakh are popular. In addition, the Indian government recently announced that the Siachen Glacier in the Karakoram range north of the Nubra Valley is now open to experienced mountaineers. The states of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand in northern India also offer excellent trekking opportunities, such as the delightful Valley of Flowers. For a pristine mountain trek in Uttarakhand, head ​off the beaten path at Kalap. If you really want to get away from it all and like a challenge, try a remote trek that’s still under the radar. For guided treks of all descriptions, some of the best companies are Ibex Expeditions, Peak Adventure Tours, Garhwal Himalayan Explorations, and Himalayan Frontiers.

Where: The Himalaya region.
