The last photo contest edition of year 2022 is here! And we’ve decided to end the year on a happy note :)
Theme: Happy Moments on the Trek
As a trekker, we’re sure you relive moments from your trek every now and then — it could be that euphoric moment when you finally reached the summit! It could be that moment you were moved to tears by a beautiful sunrise. It could be the reflective time you spent by yourself at a campsite.
Through this month's contest, we are fishing for such happy stories from the treks. So dig into your trek album and share some of your happiest trek moments with us.
Like always, the contest is open to all. You're welcome to participate no matter which part of the country you are in (even overseas). To participate, you share pictures from your Indiahikes treks or treks you have done on your own.
Note: It’s still a photo contest, so the photo needs to be technically sound and well-framed. No selfies.
