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)

Would you climb to an altitude of 15,500 feet to witness a mesmerizing view of a glacial lake, sitting amid a cauldron of big mountains? Here’s a beautiful photo of the Kedartal Lake with a majestic view of Mt Thalaysagar and Mt Bhrigupanth. The clear sky and pleasant weather with soft sun rays, produce an amazing reflection!

Congratulations Vinod Shelke! You have won the Grand Prize, with a trek voucher from Indiahikes worth Rs 5000, valid until September 2025, and a 32-litre backpack by Adventure Worx, which you can use on all your future treks.

Standing in front of this 30 km long glacier, looking at the Bhagirathi river flow from the snout, with majestic mountains surrounding you, you feel a certain sense of peace and fulfillment. It is a rewarding experience for all the trekkers, and the energy is so sacred that there is an instant feeling of calmness.

Congratulations Sambrita Roy! You have won the Runner-Up Prize, and you will be getting an Indiahikes Trek Voucher of Rs. 3,000 valid until September 2025.

This breathtaking view from Rupin Pass is a sight to behold! The Rupin river flowing through the U-shaped Rupin Valley with the view of the Dhauladhar range feels like a dream! As you trek through the valley, you are constantly in awe of the landscapes.

Congratulations Sharada Prajna! You have won the Trekker’s Choice Award and a Goodie Bag from Indiahikes. Your photo got the maximum number of votes from the trekkers!

Thus, the September 2024 Photo Contest comes to an end. You should absolutely check out the nominations here if you enjoyed these pictures.

As we finish up, our October contest will soon begin. We'll be back soon with more stunning photos that honor this trekking community.


We received some splendid entries for the September 2024 Photo Contest. 

The contest this month was all about the transition from monsoon to autumn. The post-monsoon season is a great time to do treks as one gets to experience clear skies, revealing the majestic peaks. The greenery begins to fade and autumn colours unfold. There’s a drop in the temperature and the atmosphere becomes cooler. 


For this contest we were looking for photographs that bring out the essence of trekking during this season. We were curious to know what our trekkers have experienced and we’re glad to have received some good entries.

We have finally chosen the Top 10 Nominations for this month after many reviews and discussions.

Our judge will pick the Winner and Runner-up from these entries. 

Which is your favourite photograph? We also have a Trekkers' Choice award that you can vote for! Your votes will decide the winner of this award.
You can vote only once, so take a look at all the entries before you cast your vote.

Here are the Top 10 photos from our September 2024 Photo Contest

Would you climb to an altitude of 15,500 feet to witness a mesmerising view of a glacial lake, sitting amid a cauldron of big mountains? Here’s a beautiful photo of the Kedartal Lake with a majestic view of Mt Thalaysagar and Mt Bhrigupanth. 

The clear sky and pleasant weather with soft sun rays, produce an amazing reflection!

Trekking to Bali Pass after the monsoon is a great experience as you get to witness astounding mountain views and clear skies. The photographer has captured the magnificent Swargarohini in all its glory. It is rare to be able to witness this landscape completely snow-draped in September.

Would you love to spend time and stay in a picturesque village setting like this? Here is a beautiful photo of the Gangaad Village. If you’re looking to go on a 500-year-old culture trek, this is the perfect trek for you! Trekkers get to learn a lot about the rich culture and daily life of the villagers. 


The architecture here is so in harmony with their mountainous surroundings which is very beautifully captured in this photo.

The Deoriatal Chandrashila trek is a paradise for bird lovers. Here is a remarkable photo of the Rusty-cheeked Scimitar Babbler in its natural habitat. We are in awe of how meticulously and patiently this image was captured.

“One of the first beautiful birds I snapped at Sari Base Camp” says Dilip.

This is how the nights from the Arram Pathri campsite look! After a long day of walking through the enchanting pine forests and endless meadows, looking at a sky with infinite stars is a wholesome experience. “It was a magical night” says Kaif.


These are the very same forests where Rudyard Kipling’s characters of The Jungle Book were born! Our recently opened trek in the Pench Tiger Reserve gives you the chance to explore the flora and fauna of Central India. A walk through Bodha Nala, a refreshing stream, is one of the major highlights of this trek. After walking for hours through the thick forests, the view of this stream rejuvenates the trekkers.

“Gaumukh, the source of Ganga, the source of life” is how the photographer describes this photo. Standing in front of this 30 km long glacier, looking at the Bhagirathi river flow from the snout, with majestic mountains surrounding you, you feel a certain sense of peace and fulfilment. It is a rewarding experience for all the trekkers, and the energy is so sacred that there is an instant feeling of calmness.

Here’s another excellent night sky photo from the Nafran Valley. It is extremely wonderful to stargaze right after the monsoon season in the Himalayas, as the sky is very clear and the views of the galaxies are astounding!

Who wouldn’t want to camp on a river delta surrounded by silver birch trees on one side and high-rising mountains on the other side! Here’s a photo from the Kiddar campsite with a stunning view of the Kishtwar peaks. Brammah Valley is one of the very few treks where you get to camp next to the summit, which is one of the unique experiences that this trek offers.

We thoroughly enjoyed looking at every photo that we received. 

We have picked the Top 10 entries and now it’s your turn to show love to your favourite entry out of these. 

We will announce the winners on October 31, 2024. Stay tuned!

Indiahikes september 2024 photo contest nominations

Nominations for Indiahikes September 2024 Photo Contest

After the successful completion of the photo contest last month, we’re back with the September edition. 

We have opened up the September 2024 Photo Contest, an exclusive contest for Indiahikes trekkers who trekked with us in September 2024. 

We received some wonderful photos from our trekkers last month and we are overwhelmed by the responses that we got! We got to see their photography skills and we’re happy to be able to get in touch with trekkers and grow our community.

As the monsoon season gradually gives way to autumn in the mountains, the landscape undergoes a dramatic makeover. Last month, the landscape was lush and green, with vegetation at its peak, thanks to the heavy rainfall. Rivers, streams, and waterfalls were at their fullest, with crystal-clear water rushing through the valleys.

Slowly as the monsoon's grip weakens, the skies begin to clear, revealing the majestic mountain peaks. The lush greenery starts to fade, and autumn's golden hues start to appear. 

This month is all about the transition between these two seasons, and we are eager to see what our trekkers have experienced. 

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

The last date to submit your entries is on October 22nd 2024, 11:59 pm.

We will announce the Top Nominations on our website on October 25th 2024 and declare the winners on October 31st 2024.

Remember, the last date to participate is October 22nd 2024. Looking forward to seeing your best photographs. Good luck!

We have ended the August 2024 Photo Contest, exclusive for trekkers who trekked with us in August. 

We are amazed by the number of participants and responses we have received! We cannot be happier to see so many people engaging and contributing to building a stronger community. Everything about this month's contest was exciting.

In this month’s contest, we wanted to showcase the most beautiful side of the mountains in the monsoon. We also received some stunning entries that portrayed smaller elements of trekking. Shortlisting 10 nominations from more than 1000 photos was tough. And choosing the winners was tougher!

Finally, here are the Winners of the August 2024 Photo Contest.

We cannot stop admiring how precisely this picture has been shot with great effort and patience. The photographer has shot the Himalayan Griffon vulture from over 12000 feet. You definitely need a vulture’s eye to capture a shot this majestic! Watching the Griffon glide into the air is a sight to behold! 

Camera Setting: Shutter 1/1000, Aperture F 4, ISO 200, Focal Length 150mm.
(Captured in Camera - Telephoto Lens)

Congratulations Yash Trikannad! You have won the Grand Prize, with a trek voucher from Indiahikes worth Rs 5000, valid until 30th September 2025, and a 32-litre backpack by Adventure Worx, which you can use on all your future treks.

Here’s a photo that captures the stark and deserted mountains of Spiti. The vast landscapes of this range consist of rocky terrains and earthy-tone mountains.

“Spiti, where every step echoes the silence of rugged wilderness” is how Saket describes this photo. Complimenting the majestic mountains, the clouds add the right amount of drama to this photo. The view is a treat to the eyes, indeed!

Camera Setting: Shutter 1/1600, Aperture F 1.8, ISO 100, Focal Length 10mm.
(Captured in Mobile)


Congratulations Saket Gaurav! You have won the Runner-Up Prize, and you will be getting an Indiahikes Trek Voucher of Rs. 3,000 valid until August 2025.

This picture caught our attention for its perfect symmetry. The photo was shot early in the morning when the sun rays are subtle and sky is clear, creating a reflection so exquisite! 

This is the Chandratal Lake, which is one of the major highlights of the Hampta Pass trek. The view of the lake is very rewarding to trekkers as it is not visible until you reach near it. The water is so crystal clear and untouched that one can see the underlying layers. It is surrounded by Buddhist flags and the energy is so sacred that there is an instant feeling of calmness. 

Camera Setting: Shutter 1/1653, Aperture F 1.8, ISO 50, Focal Length 10mm.
(Captured in Mobile)

Congratulations Suraj Kanale! You have won the Trekker’s Choice Award and a Goodie Bag from Indiahikes. Your photo got the maximum number of votes from the trekkers! 

With that, we come to the end of August 2024 Photo Contest. If you loved these photos, you should definitely take a look at the nominations here. 

As we wrap this up, we will be starting our September contest soon. We’ll be back with more wonderful photographs that celebrate this world of trekking. 

August 2024 Indiahikes Photo Contest Winner

We restarted our photo contest this month, and we are overwhelmed by the responses! We are glad to have more than 200 participants in our contest! We received 1000+ entries and it was a delight to see all the beautiful compositions and how each photo had a story to tell. 

The month of August is a great time for post-monsoon treks with lush green landscapes, verdant valleys, hills and meadows, misty mountains, gushing streams and their rhythmic sounds, vibrant wildflowers, dramatic cloud formations, and stunning rainbows.

We received wonderful photos from our trekkers showcasing these amazing elements from our treks. With multiple rounds of reviews, discussions, and selection, we have finally chosen our Top 10 Nominations. 

Which is your favourite photograph? We also have a Trekkers' Choice award that you can vote for! Your votes will decide the winner of this award.
You can vote only once, so take a look at all the entries before you cast your vote.

Camera Setting: Shutter - 1/1800, Aperture - F 2.4, ISO 200, Focal Length - 10mm.

Trekking to Miyar Valley during monsoon is a great experience as it is less explored and untouched. This trek takes you to the heart of Lahaul through quaint villages and remote valleys.

You would have often seen excellent photos of the lakes, meadows, and valleys of Kashmir. Here’s a lovely picture of an old man with his grandson crossing the Satsar Pass. It portrays their relationship beautifully! 

The photo shows their emotions and gives a tiny glimpse of the life of the local villagers in the mountains.   


Camera Setting: Shutter - 1/170, Aperture - F 2.4, ISO 200, Focal Length - 10mm.
(Captured in Mobile)

Have you seen animals together in their natural habitat and felt like they might be having a conversation?

Marmots are frequent visitors on this trek, which is one of the highlights of this trek, as they are found only in certain regions of the Himalayas.  

It is very rare to be able to capture such a heartwarming moment as the marmots are mostly in their burrows. You will only get a shot like this if you are lucky enough! 


Camera Setting: Shutter - 1/1000, Aperture - F 5.6, ISO - 800, Focal Length - 200mm.
(Captured in Camera -Telephoto lens)

This photo is a beautiful composition of different elements of nature in one frame, highlighting the flora of Kashmir. After two days of walking through the forests, the panoramic view of the Tulian Valley feels heavenly! Surrounded by tall pine trees and majestic mountains, one feels like a very teeny tiny part of nature.  

Camera Setting: Shutter 1/1700, Aperture F 1.8, ISO 100, Focal Length 10mm.

Stunning view of Mt. Chaukhambha reflected in the lake.

Look closely, this photo tells a story of the rising sun and trekkers getting ready for the trek. 

3. Deoriatal Chandrashila Trek - Abhishek Gurudutt 

This trek is known for bird-watching. But capturing birds through your lens is not easy. 

One of the new treks in Kashmir. This route is remote and takes you to some of the most scenic parts of the valley. 

Monsoon is a time for blooming flowers in Himachal Pradesh. And this picture depicts it beautifully. 

Another one from this trek. Notice how coniferous trees line the beautifully manicured meadows. It denotes the perfect setting for a trek in Kashmir. 

7. EBC - Gokyo Lakes trek-Sushil Gowardhan

Look how the brilliant blue sky is getting reflected in the Gokyo lake. By the lake, you have the remote settlement of the Gokyo village. The turquoise roofs of the houses add to the beauty of this photograph.  

Trekking by a stream in the Himalayas is a charming experience. This photo instantly transports you to the land of the mountains, with the stream, trees lining it and the mountains rising in the backdrop. 

9. Deoriatal Chandrashila Trek -Yogesh Shinde

This is one of the iconic photos which depicts the arrival of spring on the Deoriatal-Chandrashila trek. The snow has not melted, but rhododendrons have started blooming. And that makes for a vibrant picture, doesn't it?

It's always a sight to witness the morning rays lighting up the Himalayan mountains. This photo beautifully captures that scene. 

Coming across a handsome waterfall on a trek is refreshing. Notice the lush greens and the rugged mountains in this picture. It shows a great composition!

This is a typical setting of Lahaul. Lush green valley with barren mountains in the backdrop. And then there's the remote settlement. 

This is a pass trek. And this picture shows the green side of the trek, with beautiful flowering shrubs. This setting changes dramatically to a barren landscape once you cross the pass.  

14. Deoriatal Chandrashila - Ekansh Chaurasia

You get to see a range of mountains of the Garhwal and Kumaon Himalayas from the summit of Chandrashila. But this photo puts a beautiful spotlight on Mt. Nanda Devi, the tallest mountain in India.
