Dayara Bugyal trek travel tours 2025 by Trekup: Trekking in India offers a unique and rewarding experience for adventurers and nature lovers alike. Here are 10 reasons why India’s trek tourism is so appealing: Diverse Terrain – India offers a vast range of trekking experiences, from the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas to the lush green hills of the Western Ghats. Whether you’re into alpine, desert, or coastal trekking, India has something for everyone. Rich Cultural Heritage – Many treks in India pass through remote villages, providing trekkers with the chance to interact with local communities and experience their traditional lifestyle, cuisine, and culture. Discover additional details on Pin Bhaba Pass Trek.
Trekking Through Snow-Capped Peaks – For those who love snow, India’s winter treks are nothing short of spectacular. Roopkund, Brahmatal, and Frozen Chandratal are famous for their snowy landscapes. Walking through pristine snowfields with the majestic Himalayas in the backdrop is a surreal experience. Exploring Remote Villages and Communities – Trekking in India often takes you through remote villages that are untouched by modern life. Villages in Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Ladakh offer glimpses into a way of life that has remained largely unchanged for centuries. You can interact with locals, sample traditional foods, and stay in homestays, making the trek more culturally enriching.
No/Intermittent electricity: Here’s a reality that leaves most trekkers taken aback. They go to the base camps and find very intermittent electricity. They find it difficult to charge their phones/cameras. A week-long plan of taking good pictures or videos is ruined. The bad: This will affect you if you’re someone who is carrying any gadgets that need charging — cameras, GoPros, phones, video equipment, drones and so on. None of them can be charged once you leave the base camp. You’ll have to make do with whatever battery juice you have for the next 4-5 days. To make matters worse, you’re usually dealing with extremely low temperatures in the mountains. The cold weather alone drains out the battery even if it’s not being used. How to deal with it: We usually take power banks for our phones. One power bank above 10,000 mAh will easily last you 3-4 charges. For cameras and drones, there’s no option but to carry spare batteries. Further, you’ll need to wrap all batteries in something warm (your woollen socks or gloves). We usually keep them inside our jacket pockets at night to keep them warm. The good: This is a wonderful chance to push yourself to see how much you can achieve even when you’re low on resources. It pushes your boundaries and makes you think out of the box. If you’re a photographer, you’ll learn to plan your shots in advance instead of impulsively getting many shots and picking the best one. If you’re just using your phone, you’ll learn to conserve your battery better.
In mid March, when winter starts to recede, snow is still around. A carpet of fresh grass sprouts around these snow patches. It makes meadows and clearings above 9,000 feet a delight. The lush grass with ankle-length flowers against the backdrop of snow is a visual treat. Shaking off the harshness of winter, new leaves start sprouting on trees. Flowers bloom. The landscape is a riot of colours. Spring is in the air. Birds wake up from their winter slumber. Their voices spring through the forests. For those who love bird photography, Spring is the time of the year to do treks.
Surya Top: Best Months: March, April, May, June, September, October. Trekking through the dayara meadows where the meadows strech out as far as the eyes can see. Summers are warm on Surya Top trek. Picture bright green meadows getting toasted under hot sunlight. There is also a distinct summer fragrance in the air especially as you trek under the shadows of oaks and maples. The atmosphere also gets hazier as there is a lot of dust and pollen in the air at this time. So, you might not get as sharp views as you get in autumn. But you will see the snow-capped mountains in their grandeur on a clear day. There’s another plus side to the summers on Surya Top trek. Without the challenges of cold temperatures or snow, this trek is at its easiest in the summers.
Use microspikes and gaiters. If you’re trekking with Indiahikes, we will be providing you with microspikes and gaiters to attach to your shoes. You will get these just before you step into snow. Microspikes give you Spiderman-like grip on snow. Gaiters cover up the opening of your shoes, not allowing snow to enter your shoes. This keeps your feet dry and comfortable. Work extra hard on your fitness. It’s no secret that trekking in snow is going to be more tiring than trekking without snow. Which is why you cannot underestimate your fitness preparation. We’ll address this further down. See more information at Bali Pass Trek.
Use at least two layers for your lower half, even while trekking: Carrying five warm layers for the upper body is normal in Indian trekking. However, trekkers often need clarification about their bottom layers. Should I layer up? Is it required? Should I trek while wearing layers? In such deep snow, the answer is yes. You must carry at least two layers of pants and even wear them while trekking. But what kind of layers should these be? Use light, moisture-wicking fabric even for your lower. The top layer must be good trekking pants with some level of water resistance. The inner layer can be a pair of dry-fit tights. Avoid cotton at all costs in such snowy conditions.
