Trekking Tour Packages in India
Walk through pine forests, snow meadows, alpine lakes and high mountain passes with trained trek leaders. We plan beginner, moderate and high altitude treks in the Himalayas and the Western Ghats, with permits, tents, meals and safety gear.
Trekking Tour Packages in India Overview
India has trekking for every level, from a one day walk to Triund to high altitude expeditions such as Stok Kangri in Ladakh. The Himalayas in Uttarakhand, Himachal, Sikkim, Kashmir and Ladakh give the biggest views, and the Western Ghats in Maharashtra and Kerala are green and open in the monsoon. Treks are described by grade, altitude and number of days so that you can pick one that fits your fitness.
We run guided treks with a trek leader, local guides, cooks and porters or mules where needed. Tents, sleeping bags, meals, permits and a first aid kit are part of the plan, and our guides carry a basic oxygen cylinder on higher treks. We also help you with fitness tips, a packing list and transfers from the nearest city to the base camp.
From ₹8,500 per person for a guided 5 day beginner trek, excluding travel to the base camp. Final price depends on the trek, season and group size

Trekking Tips for India
- Acclimatise. Go up slowly on high treks and drink water. Do not skip the rest days.
- Pack light. Carry a 40 to 50 litre bag or let a porter carry the heavy load. Weight is the biggest cause of tiredness.
- Break in your shoes. Wear new trekking shoes for a few weeks before the trek to avoid blisters.
- Carry water and snacks. Take a 2 litre bottle, energy bars and dry fruit. Avoid heavy meals before a hard climb.
- Do not litter. Carry all plastic back. Many trails are protected.
- Buy trek insurance. Choose a policy that covers high altitude and evacuation.
This is a likely plan. The tour manager may adjust it for weather, schedules or local rules.
