yes Anmol - these are all bucketlist worthy treks :) This is the best time to trek. We have dates for Kedarkantha and Sandakphu open on our website. See if the dates suit you indiahikes.com/upcoming-treks/
I have been to Sandakphu trek two times( once upto Sandakphu and second time I treked to Phalut). Seeing the Sleeping Buddha infront of us is like blessings. It's a must have experience for you at least once in your life. Meadows, deep pyne forest, four tallest peaks, dancing of the clouds beneath, what else do you need?
Rightly said Nilu. Sandakphu is very close to our hearts as well. Tall mountains, Singhalila forest, sunrises and sunsets, local culture are few of the highlights, to do this trek for. We have tried to capture these essence in a video. To relive your Sandakphu moments you can watch the video here th-cam.com/video/1QXUqY211R8/w-d-xo.html
@Indiahikes doing sandakphu phalut trek on 29 oct(this year) with Indianhikes I hope that I have a great experiences with you all and beautiful view of some great mountain and the trek.
As someone who will be going on his first trek in January next year with IH , I can't tell you how equally overwhelmed & yet excited this video makes me. Especially the Sandakphu Phalut. Had never heard of this trek before watching this video , & mere thought of seeing mountains like K2 , Everest etc. all lined up has my mind blown already. It's now on the top of my bucket list & can't wait to experience this .
Hi neha very confused with the selection of the track I want easy to moderate climbing track with wonderful snow capped n wonderful view.. Expect for kedarnath and brahmatal
Hi Nikita, Kedarkantha is a good option for you to experience snow in peak winter. It's a nice adventure to the summit and leaves you with an experience that you'll remember for life.
The Forest Department has not given permission to do this in December. We are trying to get permission for the same. Look out for the dates on our trek page: indiahikes.com/har-ki-dun/#available-dates-calendar
India hikes . If you want to search any winter trek in manali .I suggest one trek hight 9000feet some thing. Like a kedarkantha 360view. 3night 4days beautiful and charming trail.
Me and my didi are planning their 1st Himalayan trek in the winter season....which trek is worth to be explored at the start of 2022. Since the 1st one is always remembered suggest a good one...we had kedarkantha on our mind
Hi Ibaad, For your next trek, go for a trek like Gidara Bugyal or Sandakphu. Both of these are more challenging than Kedarkantha and have terrific views, which are extremely different from Kedarkantha. The variety you’ll see is incredible and you’ll love doing them. :)
Wish you a memorable trek to Goechala. You check out this video about why fitness is so important for Goechala trek. th-cam.com/video/u8nWXadv-dE/w-d-xo.html All the best.
Hi Vansh, you can go for the Deoriatal Chandrashila trek, it is for beginners. Ypu will witness snow. Here check it out.- indiahikes.com/deoriatal-chandrashila-trek
Hi Neha.. Hope you are well We are two first timers but considerably fit individuals and considering our first Himalayan Winter Trek. We are confused in between Dayara Bugyal and Kedarkantha. I admit Kedarkantha will offer that summitting sense of accomplishment while Dayara is like an amphitheatre with 270 degrees of the ranges while you walk in the meadows. Please let us know which will be more rewarding in terms of the scenery, vistas and the overall experience.
Hi Peeyush, glad to know that you've decided to go on your first Himalayan trek. As you said, both are great treks and hard to decide. To help you better, may I know when are you planning to go on your trek? And what is your fitness routine?
Hi, with prior trekking experience and having recently done KGL trek, I'm seeking for a Moderate-Difficult winter trek which offers elevation of around 14000 feet. Can you please suggest a few ? Elevation less than 14000 feet works too!
Hello … thanks for this amazing video… I wanted to know if we are planning to trek specifically in January.. which of these treks do you think, which can be done amid peak winter.. fyi we don’t have holidays earlier , so that’s our only time in January… Kindly suggest … thank you 😊
Hey neha! Thank you for explaining the beauty of these treks in such charming manner. Me and my friend are planning a trek somewhere in mid Jan. We have done kedarnatha, Bhramtal, har ki dun. We're really confused about our next trek. We want something challenging and rewarding. Something that has a lot of thrill and is beautiful. Please recommend.
Hi Paranjey Why don't you go to Sandakphu Phalut. It is a completely different experience in that you will be trekking on the Indo-Nepal border. The trek is moderately difficult but if you prepare well, you can tackle the trail quite easily.
This is super super helpful Neha :) Looking to do one of these in Feb 2021. Got to choose between Dayara Bugyal/Brahmatal/Kuari Pass/Kedarkantha Any recommendations? P.S.I'm a frequent traveler looking to get started with high altitude trekking.
Hey...thank you for this amazing and craziest video....I am really interested to go for a trek in month of January and and as a profession I m student..and this will be my first trek as I m a beginner ,pls suggest me a best trek .....
Hi Atharva, So glad to hear that you want to go on a high altitude trek. As a beginner you can choose one of the following: Dayara Bugyal : indiahikes.com/dayara-bugyal-trek-summer-camp Deoriatal Chandrashila: indiahikes.com/deoriatal-chandrashila-trek
Hey Neha, can you suggest me the best trek to do in the mid or end of January, as I like to enjoy fall, snowy mountains peaks, and a trek full of adventures🙏
They're all excellent in November, since November is the month of colours and clear weather. But you'll not see snow. Snow comes in only by mid-December.
Hi.....we want go for trekking in uttrakhand...we will reach haridwar on 23rd November....and we have 6-7 day for it ... which trek is suitable for us....we want to experience the snow....we are beginners....can guide us to choose the trek ...as soon as possible... because we had left for this from Gujarat
Hey I am a first timer and planning to do solo in mid November , looking for beautiful views, Summit, and a nice welcoming group. Can you suggest me 1-2 trek I can research. Really confused.
Hi, We feel happy that you are planning to start your trekking journey. Below are our suggestions for you. 1. Deoriatal Chandrashila Trek - indiahikes.com/deoriatal-chandrashila-trek?uid=deoriatal-chandrashila-trek 2. Kedarkantha Trek - indiahikes.com/kedarkantha-trek 3. Dayara Bugyal trek - indiahikes.com/dayara-bugyal-trek
Yes, Nov first week is a good time to Sandakhphu trek. In the eastern Himalayas, snowfall happens in late January and February. So chances of snow in November is close to nil. But at the time it will be very cold and windy so make sure to carry enough warm layers.
Hi Siddesh, there are chances of snowfall and usually there will be mild snow. You can get more information on how the trek looks like during different seasons here - indiahikes.com/sandakphu-phalut#best-time
I am planning my first treak this year and that too a winter one...and if you talk about my fitness level,I m quite a fitness freak so can you suggest me some good snow covered trails in between month of October and November...I m also fine with December...
Hi Shatwik, Kedarkantha is one of our most popular winter treks and it is perfect for beginners. It has a beautiful snow-covered landscape and an adventurous summit climb. indiahikes.com/kedarkantha-trek Kuari Pass is another great winter trek to experience snow and the mighty views. However, snow raises the difficulty of the trek by a notch. So, prepare well if you are going in winter. indiahikes.com/kuari-pass Deoriatal Chandrashila is the Best Winter Trek For Summit Views. indiahikes.com/deoriatal-chandrashila-trek All of these treks will have winter snow only from mid-December onwards. October and November are still autumn months, where winter snow has not yet set in.
Hi Varun, most of these treks are beginner level treks but that doesn’t mean they aren’t adventurous. All of these treks go above 12,000 ft and that in itself is an adventure. That too when you trek during winter, navigating through thick layers of snow adds to it. Now, which is the best trek depends on what you are looking for in a trek. On a high adventure end, you can either go for Kuari Pass (Easy - Moderate | Level 3 ) or Sandakphu ( Moderate | Level 3). To understand what these levels mean, go through this article - indiahikes.com/difficulty-ratings-mean
If your trekking for the first time we would suggest you to go on a easy moderate trek and see how your body reacts to high altitudes, Gradually you can choose more difficult ones in future
Hi Neha I'm planning for a winter trek in Jan end-Feb start Which will the best trek for snow, snowfall and big mountain peaks view...I'm really confused
Hi Avinash, If you're a beginner, Dayara Bugyal or Deoriatal Chandrashila would be the best treks to choose from. Check out these treks here - indiahikes.com/upcoming-treks
Hi Sourabh, the chances of experiencing snow in November are rare. If you want snow, time your trek between December and Feb or even early March. But, if you're specifically looking to trek on Nov 19th, you can choose Dayara Bugyal if you're a beginner. The trek is beautiful even without snow. During this time, the meadows will be golden brown and you'll get crystal clear views of snow capped peaks. Check out more about the trek and dates here - indiahikes.com/dayara-bugyal-trek#view-dates
Hi Harish, what would you like to know about the Kedarkantha trek? You can also go through our trek page. We have documented the trek in detail - indiahikes.com/kedarkantha-trek
All these treks can be done DIY style Akash. Just use our documentation on the website - we have all the information you need including the gpx files for the trail. For a local guide contact, we may be able to help you out with a contact or two. Just call us +91-080-468-01269
In March, it is almost the end of winter, so there will be little snow/snowfall on Sandakphu. For March, I would recommend Deoriatal Chandrashila. In March, you are in the winter-spring transition. So you will have a little bit of everything: snow, flowers and maybe green shoots. Watch this to get an idea of what you can expect on March - th-cam.com/video/NG5jchxwQn0/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_title You can book for the trek here: indiahikes.com/deoriatal-chandrashila-trek/#available-dates-calendar Our March dates are out!
Hii neha , i want to do my first trek in mid dec , which one of these will be the best trek for me which would be not much tough and give me awesome sunrise or sunset with blanket of snow and beautiful scenes around the mountains...please help me...i am very confuse to select any one
Hi Arpit, you can choose either Dayara Bugyal or Deoriatal Chandrashila. Go through the treks here: Dayara Bugyal - indiahikes.com/dayara-bugyal-trek Deoriatal Chandrashila - indiahikes.com/deoriatal-chandrashila-trek
It is easy-moderate level trek Abhee. So this means that during the winter, with the snow - the difficulty rises. On another note, regardless of the difficulty level of the trek - you need to train and get fit. It is the easiest way to ensure you have a comfortable trek experience :)
Hi Sukriti If you are doing it on your own, I would ask you to start from Manebhanjan. You will have the resources you need including forest permissions. With Dhotrey, you have the advantage that you avoid the motorable road to Tumling because you are walking through a forest. Rest of the trek is same.
You can take a look at our upcoming treks here - indiahikes.com/upcoming-treks/ Given the Omicron situation in the country, we would suggest you plan your trek in Feb and not Jan.
Hi Shilpa, we at Indiahikes, follow a different trail during winter. So it won't be as crowded. To know more about different trails that we follow during different seasons, you can check this article too - indiahikes.com/what-are-the-best-routes-for-the-kedarkantha-trek
Hi The Roopkund trek is not allowed anymore. The High Court of Uttarakhand has passed an order that prevents overnight camping in the high altitude meadows. Read more here: indiahikes.com/high-court-order-ends-trekking-in-uttarakhand/
Hi Neha! I'm planning for Sandakphu on 3rd January. The "sea of clouds" that you mentioned is something I am particularly thrilled about. Is Jan a good time to see that view?
It is very common to se the sea of clouds. There are 3-4 places on the trek where you will see this so chances are you will experience this at 1 or 2 places for sure :))
Hey Ben, Yes. The AB internal frame is a rugged backpack. Has 2 back support rods and plenty of pockets. Get the 65Ltr tho. It's on sale too 😁. Compared to the Mount trek, mufubu, etc 1k-2k Cheaper variants, The A.basics Internal backpack is a quality product. It'll easily last you more than a couple and treks (and more). www.amazon.in/dp/B06Y5NCY5K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_dlC_GvhNFbKH4RGN2
@@TrailofBen It'll. I only use a 55ltr and attach my sleeping bag outside with the bag clips. Sufficed for 5 day Kedarkantha, and for 9 day ABC trek. Parvati pin Bhaba should be fine. Try to see rucksack packing videos mate. Indiahikes has one too. Use spaces between stuff to pack. All the best for your trek.
This kinda depends on your luck. Usually, the first winter snow is expected by this time of the year.. But there are times it comes a little later, in the third or fourth week. If you want a sure shot experience of snow, go in the third or fourth week of December.
If you are fit, Work out regularly and can complete 5 kms in 37 mins you are good for a trek. Indiahikes has maximum age you can check on their website. Also your knees should be strong. I.e you need to constantly work out to improve glute, hamstring and legs strengthening. Trekking is great. Age is not a barrier.
Hi Siddarth, Kuari Pass is a great choice. You can also consider other easy-moderate treks such as Dayara Bugyal or Kedarkantha. Go through our upcoming trek pages - indiahikes.com/upcoming-treks
Hi Mrtyunjay You do not need any equipment. But proper gear will give you good grip when trekking on snow. I would recommend you rent a pair of good microspikes and gaiters.
Hi Sameeksha, it's very difficult to day that it'll snow for 100% during November. If you are lucky, you might witness a snowfall. We have had the first snow fall last week on Dayara Bugyal. But experiencing snow is your motive to do the trek, consider December- February .
Both these treks cannot be done in winter. There is heavy snowfall in the region and the routes will be closed. You will not be able to trek on soft snow. The snow needs to pack and become firm to be able to trek. Another thing is that water freezes and there is no available source on trek. We do not run Darma Valey but we will run Pangarchulla next year. April is the only short window of time you can do Pangarchulla. Stay tuned for our dates here: indiahikes.com/pangarchulla/
Hi, we do have groups open for November for some of these treks. Check out our upcoming treks - indiahikes.com/upcoming-treks Note that, November is not the right time to experience snow if you are looking for that. In that case, plan your trek between December and February.
From Rishikesh, you get buses to Joshimath very easily. The buses start as early as 4am. If you are trekking with Indiahikes, we arrange for transport to the basecamp and pick you up from Rishikesh.
During the month of February there will be lot of snow on the trial which makes it difficult to trek for any first timer, Good fitness is required. You can try doing a trek during the month of April or May

I've been on the sandakphu trek and i can vouch for the authenticity of the fact that the sun does indeed set on a blanket of clouds below you
Pretty great explanation of the treks. my list expands now. I've been looking forward to Kedar kantha and Sandakphu.
yes Anmol - these are all bucketlist worthy treks :) This is the best time to trek. We have dates for Kedarkantha and Sandakphu open on our website. See if the dates suit you indiahikes.com/upcoming-treks/
Kedarkantha in uttrakhand .checkout him trail adventures best price you will not regret 🙏
I have been to Sandakphu trek two times( once upto Sandakphu and second time I treked to Phalut). Seeing the Sleeping Buddha infront of us is like blessings. It's a must have experience for you at least once in your life. Meadows, deep pyne forest, four tallest peaks, dancing of the clouds beneath, what else do you need?
Rightly said Nilu.
Sandakphu is very close to our hearts as well. Tall mountains, Singhalila forest, sunrises and sunsets, local culture are few of the highlights, to do this trek for.
We have tried to capture these essence in a video.
To relive your Sandakphu moments you can watch the video here
th-cam.com/video/1QXUqY211R8/w-d-xo.html
last year i visited bramhatal and its december i going to vist Sandakphu Phalut thanks for your info...
I'll be in the north east this winter and Sandakphu phalut is going to be done then.
@Indiahikes doing sandakphu phalut trek on 29 oct(this year) with Indianhikes I hope that I have a great experiences with you all and beautiful view of some great mountain and the trek.
Chandrashila is the best😍😍👌
Which is the perfect mix for both challenging adventure filled and most rewarding snow filled?
As someone who will be going on his first trek in January next year with IH , I can't tell you how equally overwhelmed & yet excited this video makes me.
Especially the Sandakphu Phalut. Had never heard of this trek before watching this video , & mere thought of seeing mountains like K2 , Everest etc. all lined up has my mind blown already. It's now on the top of my bucket list & can't wait to experience this .
My first trek was khuari pass ❤️loved it so much hope for further treks
Madam, you make a good sales person. I liked the way in which you explained each one and wanted to do each. Let me try.
Hi neha very confused with the selection of the track I want easy to moderate climbing track with wonderful snow capped n wonderful view.. Expect for kedarnath and brahmatal
Hi Nikita, Kedarkantha is a good option for you to experience snow in peak winter. It's a nice adventure to the summit and leaves you with an experience that you'll remember for life.
What about Har Ki Dun via Ruinsara Tal at the end of December?
The Forest Department has not given permission to do this in December. We are trying to get permission for the same. Look out for the dates on our trek page: indiahikes.com/har-ki-dun/#available-dates-calendar
India hikes . If you want to search any winter trek in manali .I suggest one trek hight 9000feet some thing. Like a kedarkantha 360view. 3night 4days beautiful and charming trail.
Me and my didi are planning their 1st Himalayan trek in the winter season....which trek is worth to be explored at the start of 2022. Since the 1st one is always remembered suggest a good one...we had kedarkantha on our mind
I am also planning to go on Kedarkantha trek on January 2022..my first ever trek

Hi I just visited kedarkantha last December. Can you plz suggest me the next one which consists of some more challenges and views

i want to visit sandakphu in November 1st week? is it the good time and how does it snow at that time
Yes, Nov first week is a good time to Sandakhphu trek. In the eastern Himalayas, snowfall happens in late January and February. So chances of snow in November is close to nil. But at the time it will be very cold and windy so make sure to carry enough warm layers.
In sandakphu, snowfall is there in January ?
Hi Siddesh, there are chances of snowfall and usually there will be mild snow. You can get more information on how the trek looks like during different seasons here - indiahikes.com/sandakphu-phalut#best-time
Hey are there any treks which have snow in October end?!
Any recommendations for solo treks? Am reasonably fit 30 yrs old. :)
M also looking for solo trek
I am planning my first treak this year and that too a winter one...and if you talk about my fitness level,I m quite a fitness freak so can you suggest me some good snow covered trails in between month of October and November...I m also fine with December...
Hi Shatwik,
Kedarkantha is one of our most popular winter treks and it is perfect for beginners. It has a beautiful snow-covered landscape and an adventurous summit climb.
indiahikes.com/kedarkantha-trek
Kuari Pass is another great winter trek to experience snow and the mighty views. However, snow raises the difficulty of the trek by a notch. So, prepare well if you are going in winter.
indiahikes.com/kuari-pass
Deoriatal Chandrashila is the Best Winter Trek For Summit Views.
indiahikes.com/deoriatal-chandrashila-trek
All of these treks will have winter snow only from mid-December onwards. October and November are still autumn months, where winter snow has not yet set in.
Which one is most adventure, and best
Hi Varun, most of these treks are beginner level treks but that doesn’t mean they aren’t adventurous. All of these treks go above 12,000 ft and that in itself is an adventure. That too when you trek during winter, navigating through thick layers of snow adds to it. Now, which is the best trek depends on what you are looking for in a trek. On a high adventure end, you can either go for Kuari Pass (Easy - Moderate | Level 3 ) or Sandakphu ( Moderate | Level 3). To understand what these levels mean, go through this article - indiahikes.com/difficulty-ratings-mean
Hi it's all trek possible to solo... Please tell me
according to current climate which month is best among Jan and feb for chandrshilla trek ?
December would be the best. January has too much snow, which often blocks the trail to Chandrashila
I want to start trek with moderate level. Which should I chose
If your trekking for the first time we would suggest you to go on a easy moderate trek and see how your body reacts to high altitudes, Gradually you can choose more difficult ones in future
Sandakphu❤️
Hi Neha
I'm planning for a winter trek in Jan end-Feb start
Which will the best trek for snow, snowfall and big mountain peaks view...I'm really confused
Brahmatal and Dayara Bugyal are really good options for you, if you want to see snow and big mountains. :)
Where is Chadar Trek in the list?
M planning for a Trek in starting of October, which trek would you recommend
Hi Avinash,
If you're a beginner, Dayara Bugyal or Deoriatal Chandrashila would be the best treks to choose from.
Check out these treks here - indiahikes.com/upcoming-treks
Which trek is best for November 19 so we can Exprience Snow
Hi Sourabh, the chances of experiencing snow in November are rare. If you want snow, time your trek between December and Feb or even early March.
But, if you're specifically looking to trek on Nov 19th, you can choose Dayara Bugyal if you're a beginner. The trek is beautiful even without snow. During this time, the meadows will be golden brown and you'll get crystal clear views of snow capped peaks. Check out more about the trek and dates here - indiahikes.com/dayara-bugyal-trek#view-dates

Lovely! Now I am confused between Dayara Bugyal, Deoriatal and Sandakphu. Does Sandakphu have snow?? In March?
In March, it is almost the end of winter, so there will be little snow/snowfall on Sandakphu.
For March, I would recommend Deoriatal Chandrashila. In March, you are in the winter-spring transition. So you will have a little bit of everything: snow, flowers and maybe green shoots. Watch this to get an idea of what you can expect on March - th-cam.com/video/NG5jchxwQn0/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_title
You can book for the trek here: indiahikes.com/deoriatal-chandrashila-trek/#available-dates-calendar
Our March dates are out!
try Chandrshilla trek
Hii neha , i want to do my first trek in mid dec , which one of these will be the best trek for me which would be not much tough and give me awesome sunrise or sunset with blanket of snow and beautiful scenes around the mountains...please help me...i am very confuse to select any one
Hi Arpit, you can choose either Dayara Bugyal or Deoriatal Chandrashila.
Go through the treks here:
Dayara Bugyal - indiahikes.com/dayara-bugyal-trek
Deoriatal Chandrashila - indiahikes.com/deoriatal-chandrashila-trek
Now I am confused..I saw in another video of indian hike is Brahamatal is easy to moderate trek especially in comparison with Kedarkantha.
It is easy-moderate level trek Abhee. So this means that during the winter, with the snow - the difficulty rises.
On another note, regardless of the difficulty level of the trek - you need to train and get fit. It is the easiest way to ensure you have a comfortable trek experience :)
Hi neha, can you tell me which is the best place to start sandakphu trek...manebhanjan or dhotrey?
Hi Sukriti
If you are doing it on your own, I would ask you to start from Manebhanjan. You will have the resources you need including forest permissions.
With Dhotrey, you have the advantage that you avoid the motorable road to Tumling because you are walking through a forest. Rest of the trek is same.
Which treks are available in this January 2022 starting this week??
You can take a look at our upcoming treks here - indiahikes.com/upcoming-treks/
Given the Omicron situation in the country, we would suggest you plan your trek in Feb and not Jan.
Can a beginner go on Kedarkantha trek??
Will kadarkanta trial be very crowded 🤔 greater tn 200 ppl in a day during 3rd and 4th week of January
Hi Shilpa, we at Indiahikes, follow a different trail during winter. So it won't be as crowded. To know more about different trails that we follow during different seasons, you can check this article too - indiahikes.com/what-are-the-best-routes-for-the-kedarkantha-trek
mam which trek is most difficult. i need know
Hi, you can check out various treks from easy to difficult here: indiahikes.com/upcoming-treks
sandakphu trek konse month me start hota he
Hi, we have Sandakphu starting from September 24th. View the dates here - indiahikes.com/sandakphu-phalut#view-dates
Is it true that Roopkund trek is closed now for public? Doesn't it list in your top favourite? I've heard a lot about it!😀
Hi
The Roopkund trek is not allowed anymore. The High Court of Uttarakhand has passed an order that prevents overnight camping in the high altitude meadows. Read more here: indiahikes.com/high-court-order-ends-trekking-in-uttarakhand/
Hi Neha! I'm planning for Sandakphu on 3rd January. The "sea of clouds" that you mentioned is something I am particularly thrilled about. Is Jan a good time to see that view?
It is very common to se the sea of clouds. There are 3-4 places on the trek where you will see this so chances are you will experience this at 1 or 2 places for sure :))
Please suggest some budget rucksack.
Is "Amazon basics internal frame backpack" any good ?
Also suggest the size which suits a week long trek.
Hey Ben, Yes. The AB internal frame is a rugged backpack. Has 2 back support rods and plenty of pockets. Get the 65Ltr tho. It's on sale too 😁.
Compared to the Mount trek, mufubu, etc 1k-2k Cheaper variants, The A.basics Internal backpack is a quality product. It'll easily last you more than a couple and treks (and more).

@@aayushgupta2931 thanks a lot my man... Appreciate it..
Hope 65l suffice long trek like pin Parvati and Bhaba .
@@TrailofBen It'll.
I only use a 55ltr and attach my sleeping bag outside with the bag clips. Sufficed for 5 day Kedarkantha, and for 9 day ABC trek. Parvati pin Bhaba should be fine.
Try to see rucksack packing videos mate. Indiahikes has one too. Use spaces between stuff to pack.
All the best for your trek.
@@aayushgupta2931 That really helps.. thanks bro.
I want to go kedarkanta trek during 2nd week of December. Plz tell me if there any possibility to see snow at this time??
This kinda depends on your luck. Usually, the first winter snow is expected by this time of the year.. But there are times it comes a little later, in the third or fourth week. If you want a sure shot experience of snow, go in the third or fourth week of December.
What would be best Trek for the beginner
Dayara Bugyal is your trek Akshit :) indiahikes.com/dayara-bugyal-trek/
Can you please suggest me a trek this year in November end with confirmed snowfall. Should be a budget trek. Don't say chadar Trek, that's expensive 😁
Brahamatal in 4000 from lohajung to lohajung 🙏
I am 50yrs old
Never been for trekking
Will u suggest is it risky for me
To go on a trip
If you are fit, Work out regularly and can complete 5 kms in 37 mins you are good for a trek. Indiahikes has maximum age you can check on their website. Also your knees should be strong. I.e you need to constantly work out to improve glute, hamstring and legs strengthening. Trekking is great. Age is not a barrier.
bahoot khub
Hi guys, I am planning to do a trek with Indiahikes in mid November, any recommendations? I was thinking about kuari pass...
Hi Siddarth,
Kuari Pass is a great choice. You can also consider other easy-moderate treks such as Dayara Bugyal or Kedarkantha. Go through our upcoming trek pages - indiahikes.com/upcoming-treks
Snow is the main reason for me so can you suggest a best trek for me in mid December ?
Do Dayara Bugyal. You will experience all the snow in the world :) This is our latest photo from the trek instagram.com/p/CGpPAkeB3bt/?
@@Indiahikes on the instagram post it is mentioned that the photo is from last winter
@@navneetbung9609 Apologies! But in our experience, in the last 5 years, by mid December, you will have snow :)
Can dayara bugyal be done in December without professional equipment?
Hi Mrtyunjay
You do not need any equipment. But proper gear will give you good grip when trekking on snow. I would recommend you rent a pair of good microspikes and gaiters.
@@Indiahikes alright thankyou
Does it snow in any of these places in november?
Hi Sameeksha, it's very difficult to day that it'll snow for 100% during November. If you are lucky, you might witness a snowfall.
We have had the first snow fall last week on Dayara Bugyal.
But experiencing snow is your motive to do the trek, consider December- February .
Darma Valley and Pangarchula are not included ?
Both these treks cannot be done in winter. There is heavy snowfall in the region and the routes will be closed.
You will not be able to trek on soft snow. The snow needs to pack and become firm to be able to trek. Another thing is that water freezes and there is no available source on trek.
We do not run Darma Valey but we will run Pangarchulla next year. April is the only short window of time you can do Pangarchulla. Stay tuned for our dates here: indiahikes.com/pangarchulla/
Can we do in November
Hi, we do have groups open for November for some of these treks.
Check out our upcoming treks - indiahikes.com/upcoming-treks
Note that, November is not the right time to experience snow if you are looking for that. In that case, plan your trek between December and February.
Hi neha, regarding kuari pass trek how can we reach joshimath from Rishikesh/Haridwar/Dehradun? What would be the feasibility for public transport?
From Rishikesh, you get buses to Joshimath very easily. The buses start as early as 4am.
If you are trekking with Indiahikes, we arrange for transport to the basecamp and pick you up from Rishikesh.
@@Indiahikes would I get the same buses from Haridwar as well?
nice
We r planing a trek on 22 Feb 22.... we r bigner and one is 60 years of age... Which will be best trek for us....
During the month of February there will be lot of snow on the trial which makes it difficult to trek for any first timer, Good fitness is required. You can try doing a trek during the month of April or May
@@Indiahikes ok.... Thak you... We r planing kuari pass in end of March....
