Choosing the right trek for a beginner can be a bit overwhelming as there are many factors to consider such as distance, elevation gain, terrain difficulty, weather, and time of year. Here are some tips that can help you choose the right trek for a beginner:

1. Determine fitness level: Assess the fitness level of the beginner to understand their physical capabilities. This will help you select a trek that is challenging but not too difficult.

2. Choose a well-traveled trail: A well-traveled trail will have more amenities such as signposts, water stations, and shelter. It is also safer as there will be other hikers on the trail.

3. Consider the length of the trek: For beginners, it is recommended to start with a shorter trek that can be completed in a day or two. This will help them get acclimatized to trekking and build their confidence.

4. Look for gradual elevation gain: Choose a trek with a gradual elevation gain rather than steep ascents. This will make the trek easier and more enjoyable.

5. Check the weather: Check the weather forecast before selecting a trek. Avoid treks during the monsoon season or winter when the trails can be slippery or dangerous.

6. Research the trail: Read about the trail to get an idea of the terrain, altitude, and difficulty level. This will help you select a trek that is suitable for the beginner.

7. Consult with an expert: If you are unsure about which trek to choose, consult our trek expert Mr. Nitin (+91 70600 59773) between 10 AM to 6 PM (Tuesday - Friday). Mr. Nitin will provide you valuable advice and guidance.

Trekking in India offers something for everyone, from easy trails for beginners to tough and challenging routes. If you're planning to go for high-altitude or difficult treks like Kang Yatse or Pin Parvati, it's better to have some prior trekking experience.

However, if you're new to trekking, there are many beautiful and beginner-friendly options to start with, like Dayara Bugyal, Ali Bedni, Chandrakhani Pass, Sandakphu, Surya Top, and many others. Your preparation depends on the trek you choose. Easier treks need basic fitness, while tougher ones require more training and experience.

India offers a wide range of beautiful treks, and the best one really depends on your fitness level, experience, and what kind of views or adventure you’re looking for. Here are some of the most popular and well-loved treks:

• Sandakphu Trek, Sikkim/West Bengal – Famous for views of four of the five highest peaks in the world.

• Dayara Bugyal Trek, Uttarakhand – A perfect choice for beginners with scenic meadows and easy trails.

• Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek, Uttarakhand – Known for its lush meadows and close views of Mount Trishul and Nanda Ghunti.

• Pin Bhaba Pass Trek, Himachal Pradesh – A stunning crossover trek with changing landscapes.

• Kashmir Great Lakes Trek, Jammu and Kashmir – One of the most beautiful treks in India, with alpine lakes and valleys.

• Ranthankharak Trek, Uttarakhand – A less-crowded trail offering peace and beautiful mountain views.

• Valley of Flowers Trek, Uttarakhand – A UNESCO World Heritage Site, famous for its vibrant blooms during monsoon.
  
  

Choose the one that matches your fitness and interest, and you’re in for an unforgettable experience.

Deciding which Indian state has the "best" trekking is tough, as it really depends on what you're looking for. However, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand consistently stand out as top contenders, both offering incredible variety and stunning Himalayan scenery.

Himachal Pradesh is a trekker's paradise, boasting the Dhauladhar, Pir Panjal, Shivalik, and Zanskar ranges. Uttarakhand, often called the "Land of Gods," also has an abundance of beautiful trails. Its Garhwal and Kumaon regions feature iconic treks through lush alpine meadows that turn into snowy landscapes in winter. 

Apart from Himachal and Uttarakhand Sikkim (with views of Kanchenjunga) and parts of Jammu & Kashmir (like the Kashmir Great Lakes trek) also offer unique and exceptional experiences. Ultimately, the "best" state depends on your preference for lush valleys, spiritual paths, or remote mountain adventures.

For beginners, one of the best trekking options is the Nag Tibba trek in Uttarakhand. It’s an easy to moderate trek, perfect for first-timers. The trail offers beautiful mountain views, takes just a couple of days, and gives a good idea of what trekking in the Himalayas feels like.

Other beginner-friendly treks that are slightly longer but still manageable include Kedarkantha, Bhrigu Lake, Kuari Pass, and Dayara Bugyal. These treks are not very tough and give you more time in the mountains, with amazing scenery and a great learning experience.

To start trekking in India, follow these simple steps:

1. Choose an easy trek: Pick a beginner-friendly trek that matches your fitness level. Go for shorter and well-marked routes that don’t have very steep climbs or high altitudes. Treks like Chopta–Chandrashila, Nag Tibba, or Dayara Bugyal are great options to begin with.

2. Work on your fitness: Start getting fit a few weeks before your trek. Focus on building stamina by walking daily, especially on stairs or slopes. Jogging, cycling, or light exercises to strengthen your legs and core will also help you enjoy the trek better.

3. Get the right gear: Invest in a few good essentials, comfortable trekking shoes, a light but strong backpack, and layered clothing that works for changing mountain weather. Don’t forget basics like a water bottle, headlamp, and trekking poles for better comfort and safety on the trail.

With the right planning and preparation, trekking can be a fun and unforgettable experience!

The “most beautiful trek in India” can vary from person to person, but some treks are widely known for their scenic views. Valley of Flowers, Hampta Pass, Pin Bhaba Pass, and Kashmir Great Lakes are often considered the most scenic treks in the country.

These treks have some of the best landscapes, snow-covered mountains, lush green meadows, crystal-clear rivers, and in some places, vibrant wildflowers spread across the valley. The mix of colors, natural beauty, and peaceful surroundings make these treks a visual treat for every nature lover.

The Kang Yatse II with Dzo Jongo and Markha Valley Trek is a high-altitude adventure in Ladakh. It combines mountain climbing with scenic valley trekking. The route takes you through the beautiful Markha Valley, which is known for its remote villages, rivers, and ancient monasteries. From there, the journey heads towards two popular peaks, Kang Yatse II (6,250 meters) and Dzo Jongo East (6,250 meters). It’s a great trek for those looking to push their limits and summit a six thousander peak.

The trek is considered to be a challenging grade trek and is best suited for experienced trekkers. The route involves long walking hours, high altitude climbs, and glacier crossings. Both Kang Yatse II and Dzo Jongo peaks require basic mountaineering skills, and trekkers must be comfortable using some technical gear like crampons and ice axes. The oxygen level drops significantly above 5,000 meters, which makes acclimatization and physical fitness very important.

The ideal time to do this trek is during the monsoon months, July, August, and early September. This is when the weather in Ladakh is relatively stable, and the routes are open and safe. The skies are mostly clear, allowing for great views of the surrounding peaks. Day temperatures are pleasant, though nights can be cold, especially at higher camps.

The full trek takes about 13 days, including rest and acclimatization days. You start from Leh, gradually gain altitude, and pass through various camps before summiting both peaks. It's highly recommended to keep one buffer day, in case of bad weather or health-related delays. Rushing the trek can increase the risk of altitude sickness, so a properly paced itinerary is very important.

The journey starts from Leh, the capital of Ladakh. After spending a couple of days there for acclimatization, a drive takes you to Skiu, which is the starting point of the actual trek. From Skiu, you begin walking through the Markha Valley, gradually gaining height and moving towards the higher camps near the base of Kang Yatse II and Dzo Jongo.

Yes, prior experience is necessary for this trek. You should have completed at least two high-altitude treks (above 4,500 to 5,000 meters) before attempting Kang Yatse II or Dzo Jongo. These peaks involve long trekking hours, glacier walks, steep ascents, and use of some mountaineering equipment. This trek is not suitable for beginners or those who are new to high altitudes.

The itinerary for Kang Yatse with Dzo Jongo and Markha Valley is as follows:

Day-1: Arrival in Leh

Day-2: Acclimatisation in Leh

Day-3: Drive Leh to Skiu then trek to Sara

Day-4: Sara To Markha

Day-5: Markha To Hankar

Day-6: Hankar To Nimaling

Day-7: Nimaling to Kangyatse II Base Camp

Day-8: Rest And Training Day

Day-9: Summit To Kang Yatse II And Back To Base Camp

Day-10: Kang Yatse II Base Camp to Dzo Jongo East Base Camp

Day-11: Rest Day + Training Day (Summit Night)

Yes, acclimatisation days are part of the itinerary. On Day 2, after reaching Leh, you’ll have time to rest and go for short walks to help your body adjust to the altitude. Again on Day 8, before heading to Kang Yatse summit, you’ll have a rest and training day where you’ll be introduced to basic mountaineering gear. Another acclimatisation day is on Day 11, before attempting the Dzo Jongo summit.

This expedition needs a good level of fitness and some trekking experience. You should be able to jog 6 km in 30 minutes or walk 10 km in 60 minutes without feeling too tired. If you prefer cycling, being able to cover 25 km in around 65 minutes is a good benchmark.

During the expedition, your stay will be arranged in a combination of hotels, tents, and teahouses, based on the location and altitude. In Leh, you’ll begin with a comfortable hotel stay to rest and acclimatise. As the trek progresses, you’ll stay in tents at high-altitude campsites, which are shared but spacious enough to ensure warmth and comfort. These tents are usually provided with sleeping mats and will be set up by the trek support team. In some lower altitude villages, teahouses or homestays may be available. While the facilities are basic, they are clean, safe, and designed to meet the needs of trekkers in challenging mountain conditions.

Here are the important things you should need for the trek:

These experts are experienced in handling mountain conditions and ensure that trekkers follow all safety protocols, including altitude acclimatisation, gear usage, and route awareness. However, as with any high-altitude expedition, you must follow instructions carefully, trek at your own pace, stay hydrated, and avoid overexertion. Basic fitness and preparation also make a big difference in safety.

No, this twin-peak expedition is not recommended for beginners. Both Kang Yatse II and Dzo Jongo involve trekking to heights of over 20,000 ft, require usage of technical gear, and demand good physical stamina and prior high-altitude trekking experience. The terrain can be steep, challenging, and weather conditions unpredictable. It's best suited for trekkers who have completed at least one or two Himalayan treks and are comfortable with long trekking days and high elevations.

The Kang Yatse with Dzo Jongo and Markha Valley trek is one of the most scenic high-altitude treks in Ladakh. It combines adventure, beauty, and culture in one journey. Here are a few highlights of the trek:

View from the Two Summits: The biggest highlight of this trek is the double summit climb, Kang Yatse II and Dzo Jongo. From the top of Kang Yatse II (20,500 ft), you get a 360-degree panoramic view of the Zanskar range, Karakoram mountains, and parts of the Ladakh and Changthang ranges. When you climb Dzo Jongo, you again get incredible views of the entire region, with dramatic landscapes stretching out in all directions, deep valleys, sharp ridges, and distant snowy peaks.

Markha Valley: The trek passes through the famous Markha Valley, known for its colourful barren mountains, green villages, and peaceful monasteries. Walking through the valley, you’ll see ancient gompas, stone-built homes, and fields of barley and buckwheat. The Markha River flows alongside for much of the trek, making the journey refreshing and beautiful.

Leh: The trek begins and ends in Leh, the heart of Ladakh. This charming town is full of culture and spirituality. You can visit places like Shanti Stupa, Leh Palace, and local Tibetan markets. Spending a few days in Leh helps you adjust to the altitude and experience Ladakhi hospitality and food.

Kongmaru La: One of the high points of the trek is crossing Kongmaru La. From the top of the pass, you can enjoy spectacular views of Kang Yatse peak and the surrounding snow-capped mountains. 

The last ATM where you can withdraw cash is in Leh. After leaving Leh and heading into the remote trekking areas, there are no ATM facilities available along the route. It’s highly recommended that you carry enough cash with you from Leh to cover all expenses, including small purchases. Also, mobile and internet connectivity becomes very limited as you go higher, so digital or card payments will not be possible during the trek.

No, there is no electricity or charging facility available during the Dzo Jongo East Peak trek. The entire route is remote, passing through isolated villages and high-altitude terrains where modern infrastructure is minimal or non-existent. Once you leave Leh and begin your journey on the trail, you’ll be completely disconnected from power sources. It’s highly recommended to carry fully charged power banks and extra batteries for all essential electronics like your phone, camera, GPS devices, or headlamps. 

Ladakh offers a wide range of trekking adventures, from scenic trails to challenging high-altitude expeditions. Some of the most popular and rewarding treks in the region include:

The Kang Yatse with Dzo Jongo Peak trek takes you to a height of (20,500 feet, where the risk of Acute Mountain Sickness is quite real. As you gain altitude quickly, your body needs time to adjust to the low oxygen levels. Common symptoms include headache, nausea, loss of appetite, dizziness, shortness of breath, and trouble sleeping. During this trek proper acclimatization, moving at a steady pace, staying hydrated, and listening to your body are extremely important. If symptoms get worse, it’s critical to descend immediately to a lower altitude. It’s also a good idea to consult a doctor before your trek, especially if you have any existing health issues or if you’ve experienced altitude sickness on previous treks.

The weather during the Kang Yatse and Dzo Jongo Peak trek can vary greatly depending on altitude and time of day. In the lower regions, such as Markha Valley, you can expect pleasant days with temperatures ranging from 13°C to 15°C, while early mornings and evenings can dip to around 6°C to 7°C. The skies are generally clear, especially during the recommended trekking months, but winds can occasionally pick up even at lower elevations.

As you gain altitude, especially above 5,000 meters, the temperature drops significantly, and the wind becomes stronger. At higher camps and near the summit, daytime temperatures may hover around 0°C to 5°C, while nights can plummet well below freezing, sometimes reaching -10°C to -15°C. Sudden weather changes are common in the mountains, and trekkers should always be ready for rain, snow, or strong winds even on otherwise sunny days.

 No, there is no significant threat from wildlife on this trek. Most of the route passes through well-inhabited village areas and popular trekking trails, where the presence of humans keeps wild animals away. Even in the more remote sections of the trek, sightings of potentially dangerous wildlife are extremely rare. The region is generally considered safe, and trekkers can focus on enjoying the scenic beauty and cultural richness of the journey without concern for wildlife threats. Trek leaders and guides are also well-prepared and experienced in handling any unexpected situation, further ensuring your safety throughout the trek.

In Ladakh, only postpaid SIM cards are functional, regardless of the network provider. Prepaid SIM cards issued outside the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir do not work due to government regulations. Among the available options, BSNL, Jio, and Airtel postpaid connections tend to have the widest coverage in popular areas like Leh, Kargil, and a few major villages. However, network connectivity can be limited or unavailable in remote trekking regions, so it’s best to inform someone in advance and not rely solely on mobile service during the trek.
