Deorital-Chandrashila trek: Best trek to start off with, even for children. The distance covered is less than 25 km over four days, and the highest campsite is a little above 9000 ft.
Kedarkantha: For this trek, you need to be better prepared, short days where you cover just between 4 and 6 km, but it involves steep climbs.
Har-ki-dun: Not many beginners look in the direction of Har Ki Dun, but it is the among the three best Himalayan treks for beginners. The distances might be long but the ascents are gradual. The only concern in this trek is that exiting the trek abruptly in case of an emergency is not too easy.
