July

July, much to our disappointment offers only one long weekend. This is a grave injustice to the variety of treks and expeditions best suited for this month.

If not, the Bhrigu Lake Trek would be a good match for this weekend.

August

In this month, the long weekends have, as a special treat, managed to arrange themselves back to back.

Treks you can do: Kashmir Great Lakes Trek (9 days), Kalihani Pass Trek (8 days), TarsarMarsar Trek (7 days)

November

As winter begins, the trails start to turn snowy again. Did you know attempting winter versions of summer treks is one of the best ways to challenge yourself? The weather is harsher, the terrain is trickier to navigate and the trails are the least crowded! If you can afford to take a couple of days off, make sure you try out one of the treks mentioned below in the winters. The challenges are unlike any other.

To find out if you have the adequate experience level for these treks, please refer to our Rating Scale.

Treks you can do: Goechala Trek (10 days), Pangarchulla Peak Trek (6 days), Har Ki Dun Trek (7 days)

December

Trekking in fresh snowfall, through the icy mist, under the sparkling sun, and along frozen lakes can be an enthralling experience. Besides, what is Christmas without snow in sight? And the cherry on top, isn't it the best way to celebrate New Year’s Eve in the Himalayas and bid farewell to 2021?

Treks you can do: Kedarkantha Trek (5 days), Markha Valley Trek (10 days), Brahmatal Trek (6 days), Dodital Trek (5 days)
