Trekking, Skiing & Mountaineering

¤ The Himalayan Trekking

Extreme trekking and mountaineering enthusiast never had it so much before. The Himalayas that spreads all over North India offer excellent opportunities to serious trekkers and mountaineers. In some areas extreme trekking and mountaineering permits may be required – these can be easily organized by tour operators.

Right now the dramatic Himalayan deserts of Ladakh and the lush Garhwal hills are especially popular with trekkies. However, extreme trekking on your own in the treacherous Himalayas is strictly not recommended. It is better to organize your trek through local or Delhi-based companies who know their terrain and business better. Seasons for extreme trekking vary in different areas and the local authorities will be able to advice you on this.
Several local tour operators offer extreme trekking equipment and reliable guides.


¤ Mountaineering Adventure

Mountaineering seasons also vary in various places, so please check with local tourism authorities. The Mountaineering Institute and Allied Sports Complex, about a km out of Manali in Himachal Pradesh, will offer assistance to anyone interested in extreme mountaineering in that part of the Himalayas.


¤ Diverse Skiing Regions of India

At one time you could have skied right in the Kashmir valley, in Gulmarg – though not now due to the troubled political situation.

The premier extreme skiing resort now is in Auli near Josimath (western UP). You can contact local tour operators who offer excellent packages. The season is from January to March-end.

Other extreme skiing resorts are at Solang, near Manali, and in Kufri and Narkanda near Shimla. These are however not very developed. In Solang Valley, near Manali you can also do ballooning; the season for this is usually in summer.
