Indiahikes October 2024 Photo Contest

The October 2024 Photo Contest is now open! This is an exclusive contest for Indiahikes trekkers who trekked with us in October. You’re welcome to participate and share the best pictures from your Indiahikes treks with us.

Last month, we received some amazing pictures from our trekkers. We had the opportunity to observe their photographic abilities, and we are pleased to be able to connect with trekkers and expand our community.

As we step into autumn, the raw beauty of the mountains is on full display. The once vibrant green slopes are now adorned with a kaleidoscope of colors - fiery reds, golden yellows, and deep oranges. The air is crisp and clean, carrying the scent of fallen leaves. As the sun rises, casting long shadows across the valleys, the mountains seem to glow. The silence is broken only by the gentle rustling of leaves and the distant melody of a mountain stream. 

Show us the most beautiful side of the mountains you have seen this season. Whether it is trails lined with trees, a carpet of colorful leaves, or still, reflective lakes mirroring the autumn colors, we want to see them all!

Share with us your best photographs captured during your trek in October.

Given that it is a contest, the photo needs to be technically sound and well-framed. (No selfies)
