Treks worth doing

 Treks worth doing:

1. Kedarkantha Trek – The Winter Wonderland (Uttarakhand)

• Altitude: 12,500 ft

• Best Time: December to April

• Duration: 5–6 days

• Difficulty: Easy to Moderate

Why it’s viral-worthy:

Ever dreamed of walking on soft snow under a sky full of stars? Kedarkantha offers just that. Ideal for beginners, this trek gives panoramic views of snow-draped peaks like Swargarohini and Bandarpoonch. The legendary Juda ka Talab (a frozen lake) is a showstopper.

Pro Tip: Catch the sunrise from the summit – it feels like the Himalayas are on fire.

2. Hampta Pass – Where Two Worlds Meet (Himachal Pradesh)

• Altitude: 14,100 ft

• Best Time: June to October

• Duration: 5 days

• Difficulty: Moderate

Why it’s viral-worthy:
Hampta Pass is like stepping into two contrasting worlds: lush green Kullu Valley and the barren Spiti desert. You trek across glaciers, river crossings, wildflower meadows, and dramatic cliff edges.

Pro Tip: Camp beside the stunning Chandratal Lake at the end — it looks like a slice of Ladakh.

3. Valley of Flowers – India’s Hidden Paradise (Uttarakhand)

• Altitude: 14,100 ft

• Best Time: July to September

• Duration: 4–6 days

• Difficulty: Moderate

Why it’s viral-worthy:
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this trek feels like a real-life fairy tale. With over 300 species of alpine flowers, misty mountains, and the sacred Hemkund Sahib, it's a spiritual + visual treat.

Pro Tip: Go mid-August for the full bloom — the valley literally bursts with colors.

4. Sandakphu Trek – The Sleeping Buddha (West Bengal & Sikkim)

• Altitude: 11,930 ft

• Best Time: April to May & October to December

• Duration: 6–7 days

• Difficulty: Easy to Moderate

Why it’s viral-worthy:
This trek is the only place in the world where you can see Mt. Everest, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, and Makalu — the world’s highest peaks — in a single panoramic view. The Kanchenjunga range even forms the shape of a sleeping Buddha!

Pro Tip: Don’t forget to wake up early — the golden hour here is surreal.

5. Tarsar Marsar Trek – Kashmir’s Twin Lakes (Jammu & Kashmir)

• Altitude: 13,201 ft

• Best Time: July to September

• Duration: 7 days

• Difficulty: Moderate

Why it’s viral-worthy:

Kashmir isn’t called “Paradise on Earth” for nothing. This offbeat trek takes you to two alpine lakes – Tarsar and Marsar – each with reflections so clear, it’s like nature’s mirror. Surrounded by meadows, wild horses, and glacier-fed streams, the route is poetry in motion.

Pro Tip: Disconnect – there’s zero network. Just you and raw, untouched beauty.
