Best Easy Treks for Beginners in India

The Indian Himalayas provide incredible hiking chances for first-timers as well as difficult terrains and remote locations. No matter the environment, whether it be the rough terrain of Ladakh or the lush Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, there is always a simple track with breath-taking scenery and endless adventure waiting. The elevation in the Himalayas ranges from 2500 m to 4000 m, and the easiest treks in India call for at least 4-5 kilometres of walking each day.
