Why trek in Himachal Pradesh?
No Indian state offers more variety than Himachal. In one state you can walk the green Kullu valleys, cross a glaciated pass on Hampta, camp beside Bhrigu Lake, or step into the cold desert of Spiti and Pin Parvati. That range, from lush to lunar and gentle to technical, together with easy access from Delhi and Chandigarh, makes Himachal the trekker's playground across almost every season.
