HIKING EXPERIENCES IN NORTH INDIA

HIKING (AN IDEA)

• Hiking is the preferred term for a long, vigorous
  walk, usually on trails (footpaths), in the
  countryside, while the word walking is used for
  shorter, particularly urban walks.
• best for experienced, confident, self-sufficient
  high altitude hikers

One of the best hiking regions in the world is
the INDIAN HIMALAYA.

HIKING TRIALS IN NORTH INDIA

• AT A GLANCE
• Ladakh, Jammu Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and
  Uttarakhand in the west.
• Darjeeling and Sikkim in the east

HIKING SEASONS

• Hiking seasons somewhere May-Nov (though
  micro-climates vary greatly). Many treks are not
  recommended in Jul-Aug though you can hike most
  places in Ladakh in those months as its in the
  monsoon rain shadow.

PACKING FOR HIKING

• Rule for backpacking if you cannot decide if you
  need it, you probably will not need it.
• Make a list to include everything that you will
  possibly need on your trip.
• Reduce food weight and volume by packing
  primarily dehydrated meals.
• Shop for a tent that suits your needs
• Determine how much water you will need between
  the two points.
• Wear whatever you find comfortable there is no
  hiking dress code.
• Bring a hand-held flashlight or a headlamp, for
  hands-free use.
• When packing your backpack, place heavy items,
  such as water, camp stove and fuel, tent poles
  and stakes, and food near the top of your pack
  and close to your back.
