Treks in Himachal

A section dedicated to the treks I go to, complete with a travelogue, basic travel information and an image gallery. Let me dispel a few concerns and confirm some about the travelogues and images. Yes, they may often be long given my love for verbosity and detail and No, they are not  spoilers because no words or photographs ever do justice to what the heart experiences and the eyes wonder at. Nature has such diversity and human nature such diverse interests that no two people visiting the same place will ever see and feel the same thing. So, go ahead and pamper me by reading the travelogues.

This section, aims to, in time, become the most comprehensive resource for trekking in Himachal. Low altitude, mid altitude, high altitude, alpine, cold desert, everything. A small note on how the treks are graded:

1. Easy - need no experience, normally short duration, low altitude, easy trails and enough infrastructure to make the trek not feel like much.

2. Moderate - need little experience (can do with none as well), medium duration, occasional long climbs, wilderness.

3. Hard - some experience necessary, often unused and difficult trails, no habitation for long stretches, difficult climbs/descents most days, lots of wilderness.

4. Very Hard - experience must (unless you hire scores of guides and porters), long duration, no trails, difficult terrain, could include snow/glacier camps and multiple days of walking on snow and/or glacier.
