India is a land blessed with snow-bound peaks, crystal glaciers, rolling meadows, jagged rock faces, scenic valleys, meandering rivers, cascading waterfalls, dense forests, majestic mountains and hospitable people with a rich culture. The serenity and purity of the environment can be best enjoyed by trekking at your own pace. You will come in close contact with the culture of the people residing in the remote villages.

Trekking is the best way of getting to know any land, its people, its culture and traditions. From time immemorial, hill folk and pilgrims trekked over hills and dales due to lack of roads and means of transportation.

While anyone can take low altitude trekking and nature walks, high-altitude trekking like the mountaineering and climbing can be undertaken by only those who is not suffering from high/low blood pressure or obesity. Anyone, who is physically fit and mentally sound and is between the age group of 16 and 60, can participate in this adventure sport.
