Hiking & Trekking Tours/Trips in India Reviews
- Walking in Kerala
I would like to see sriraj your leader of the year!
- Land of the Lamas
Namaste!!! I would like to thank you and your company for the excellently organized tour “Land of Lamas”. Your constant attention to us throughout the trip justifies the name “TourRADAR”. I would like to say a special thank you for visiting the Akshardham Temple in New Delhi and the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort in Agra, which were not included in the program. Your guides deserve special attention. I would like to note their attentiveness, care and erudition. Thank you very much again. This trip will remain in our memory for the rest of our lives and will strengthen our former love for India (Bharat), its culture and history. Sincerely, Alexander
What our customers ask about India Hiking Tours & Trekking Trips
trails in India for different skill levels?
India's hiking trails range from gentle walks to demanding mountain expeditions. Beginning hikers can explore the Sham Valley in Ladakh a 3-4 day route that winds through Buddhist villages and monasteries. Those with more experience find their stride on the Markha Valley trek which crosses 4500m passes with clear views of Kang Yatse peak. The Singalila Ridge trek near Darjeeling tests advanced hikers at elevations up to 11929ft offering panoramas of Everest Kanchenjunga and Makalu. A TourRadar traveler noted about the Singalila trek: "This was my first point to point trek and camping trek and was no problem at all. The views from here are truly amazing - the towering slopes of Kanchenjunga lie ahead and Everest, Lhotse and Makalu come into view in the distance."
What type of accommodation can I expect during multi-day hikes in India?
Lodging options span from basic to comfortable based on the region and route. Ladakh treks combine stays at established hotels like Hotel Omasila in Leh with nights at wilderness camps. Kerala hiking tours mix standard hotels with distinctive options such as backwater houseboats and Western Ghats camping. Himachal Pradesh provides accommodation ranging from Glacier View Hotel in Dharamsala to simple mountain lodges and tent sites. As one TourRadar traveler shared: "Small-ish group of only 6 people the food on the walking/camping days was very good and the lunch locations were wonderful."
What wildlife might I encounter during hikes in different regions of India?
Each region presents unique wildlife viewing opportunities. Periyar National Park in Kerala offers sightings of elephants sambar deer and various bird species during guided walks. On Ladakh's high trails you may spot blue sheep marmots and even snow leopard tracks. The Western Ghats host countless butterflies and birds found nowhere else. A TourRadar traveler recounted: "Exploring on foot through Periyar National Park brought us incredibly close to wildlife in their natural habitat." Local guides ensure safe responsible wildlife viewing from appropriate distances.
How challenging are the hiking trails in India's popular trekking regions?
Trail difficulty spans the full spectrum. Ladakh features demanding high-altitude routes like the Gongmaru La Pass at 5286m with steep climbs and rocky terrain. Kerala's Western Ghats present moderate 4-5 hour daily hikes through tea plantations and forests. Himachal Pradesh contains everything from gentle Dharamshala day walks to rigorous Manali treks. One TourRadar traveler shared: "Great trip tough but enjoyable especially the climb of Meesapulimala peak which has to be my highlight." Tour descriptions clearly outline difficulty levels and fitness requirements.
What cultural experiences are integrated into hiking tours in India?
Walking tours weave together natural landscapes and cultural discovery. Ladakh treks include stops at ancient Buddhist monasteries such as Thiksey and Hemis while Kerala routes feature spice plantation visits and village walks. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Seeing the 'field to plate' process of tea spices and rice was very educational and one of my highlights." Companies like Alkof Holidays arrange local community interactions monastery visits and cultural demonstrations adding depth to the hiking experience.
What kind of food arrangements are available during Indian hiking tours?
Meals reflect local traditions while accommodating international tastes. Ladakh trek crews prepare three daily hot meals with both Indian and continental dishes. Kerala tours highlight regional specialties including traditional Keralan cuisine and fresh seafood. As shared by a TourRadar traveler: "The food on the walking/camping days was very good and the lunch locations were wonderful." Most operators can handle dietary restrictions with advance notice and often include special experiences like Kerala spice garden visits or traditional Ladakhi family meals.
