Trekking Holidays In India

Outlook Traveller Getaways celebrates the oldest way to travel — on foot — with its latest release, Trekking Holidays in India. This travel guide book offers 85 treks plus 50 trekking options through the greatest mountain ranges on Earth — from the Great Himalayan Range in the north to the Sahyadris in Western India and the Western Ghats in South India. The book is geared for the beginner, but also offers trekking options for the more experienced and adventurous. These follow classic Himalayan trails from the Valley of Flowers in Garhwal to the Indrahar Pass trek in Himachal and the Dzongri trek in Sikkim.
Gentler treks in the beautiful region of Ladakh take you over passes to tiny villages dominated by hilltop monasteries. Ladakh’s ‘baby trek’ from Likir to Temisgam is a classic experience of this beautiful mountain land. The book guides wildlife and birding enthusiasts to the little known Corbett-to-Nainital trail, and through Namdapha National Park in Arunachal Pradesh. In Western and Southern India, trekkers can discover the glory of the rugged Sahyadris on weekend walks. The forested hills of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala also offer weekend hikes.
The treks have been written by experienced trekkers, backed up the Outlook Traveller Getaways verification team. Helpful tips and pointers on hiking and camping, what to pack for a trek, how to take great pictures and how to leave minimum impact on the environment, are also provided. The book has detailed trekking routes, as well as interesting snippets on flora and fauna.
