Walking & trekking destinations in India can be divided into two major areas: The North Western Himalayas covering the states of Jammu, Kashmir & Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand. Then on the far Eastern side of India the Himalayas and foothills covering the Darjeeling region of West Bengal and Sikkim.

For Indians, the mountains signify not only the natural beauty of nature but also a source of spiritual guidance. In India trekking gained popularity due to religion as it is believed that the loftiness and beauty of the Himalaya that this is where gods reside. 

During your meanders you get to pass through jungles, valleys, meadows, mountain villages, lakes and wildlife parks.
