late, trekking in India is becoming
popular among the tourists all over
the world. This might have been a new
phenomenon for the travelers from abroad,
for Indians, these mountains signify
not only the natural beauty but also
a source of spiritual guidance.
A trek in India is a special and rewarding
mountain holiday. This great India is
home to the Himalaya, the "abode of
snows". It is well known in every corner
of the world as the homeland of some
of the highest mountains peaks of the
world. It offers a great concentration
of high snow capped mountains. Apart

to climb some of these peaks. So, it's
of no coincidence that India is a spectacular
adventure destination especially among
the trekkers. No mountain lover can
resist the temptation of having a trek
in the verdant slopes of Himalayas.
In India, more than anything else, trekking
gained popularity due to religion. The
loftiness and beauty of the Himalayas
made our forefathers believe that if
there is any place where gods can reside,
it is the Himalayas. This led to the
establishment of many religious centers
in the hills, the result of which is
that even today thousands of devotees
cross various hurdles to reach these
places. Trekking in India will take
you through a country that has captured
the imagination of mountaineers and
explorers for a long time. You will
come in close contact with the culture
of the people residing in the remote
villages. |
