Trekking in Ladakh
If you love challenges and desire to tread the fascinating
unexplored trails made by nature or wish to explore an entirely
different culture and living style, then trekking in India is for you.
Undoubetedly, the trails in the great Himalayan ranges are the ones
that will attract you the most, but other parts of India also have
vast opportunities for enjoying a trekking expedition. So much so that
you will invariably feel drawn towards it again and again once you
have experienced its magic.
So what do you exactly come across while trekking in India? Well, the
snow capped mountains definitely have a prime place. Accompanying them
are the rushing rivers, cascading waterfalls and lush tropical
forests, brilliant with scented flowers, chirping birds and dreamily
colourful butterflies. Offering a bit of contrasting beauty are the
rugged terrains that have their own charm despite being devoid of any
beauty.
Adding more variety and fun to your trekking expedition in India are
the villages where life is simple but carries a warmth that is
unfortunately missing on the plains. The people residing here are not
advanced and therefore offer you an opportunity to know, understand
and enjoy a lifestyle that is at its most basic and unhurried self.
Moreover, there are a lot more other attractions in form of Hindu
temples, Buddhists monasteries etc in store for you while trekking in
India. You just need to keep yourself ready for any kind of surprises
that might spring up during your expedition.
What is perhaps more interesting is that trekking in India offers
every kind of trekker to enjoy himself. Whether you prefer an easy low
altitude trek for simple fun or difficult high altitude trek for real
challenge, India has it all. You just need to pick your choice and
start off a journey off the beaten track.
