Trekking in India began when the country was inhabited in prehistoric times. There are perhaps as many trekking routes in India as there are Indians. It was in the 1970s and 1980s that trekking became more popular as a recreational/adventure sport. A number of religious sites and shrines in the country, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir and the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand – such as Badrinath, Amarnath, Gangotri, Hemkund, Joshimath, Kedarnath, Vaishno Devi and Yamunotri – require a few days of trekking in the mountains. Trekking in India has improved by leaps and bounds and the current trekking scenario is promising with thousands of Indians and foreigners trekking trails every year.
India boasts some of the most stunning trekking routes in the world – many of the passes in the Ladakh and Zanskar Himalayas are over 5,000m. But there are plenty of gentler and smaller trails, at varying altitudes, both in the mountains and in the forests. If you’re looking for less strenuous walks, you’ll find plenty in the Western Ghats and the Nilgiri Hills in southern India (Munnar and Wayanad in Kerala, Coorg in Karnataka and around Ooty in Tamil Nadu).
