A weekend trek with the best Himalayan forest trails While we run many weekend treks, the Thakoor Top trek is our favourite for its superb forest cover. It is the variety in the forests that really sets it apart....

Brahmatal is a rare trail that is accessible in peak winter - January and February. With stunning views of Mt. Trishul and Mt. Nanda Ghunti clad in fresh snow, this trek is bound to steal your heart!

Surrounded by the imposing Dhauladhar ranges in Kullu Valley is a pristine blue-water lake called Prashar. It is a well-kept secret in the Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh.

Nag Tibba is a trekkers delight. For those who want to walk in the forests, climb up to 10,000 feet, see snow clad mountains and all this just over two days, Nag Tibba is a perfect trek!

Time has stood still on this myth-steeped trail. Follow the trail of Pandavas, who walked the very same route, to ascend to heavens. Experience ancient Himalayan villages that are right out of pages of history!

Deoriatal is the only trek on our list that gives maximum returns for the effort put in. Its stunning forests, wildlife and a summit climb with fantastic mountain views make it the best Himalayan trek you can start with.

Kedarkantha is a snowy wonderland in the western fringes of Uttarakhand. Of all the winter treks possible, Kedarkantha stands out as the best, thanks to its heart-melting campsites, forest trails and summit climb!

Kuari Pass is a trek which is in a different league. You really don’t sit around and debate how Kuari Pass matches up to other treks. It doesn’t. It is much above.

Sandakphu is the only trek in India from where you can see four of the tallest mountains in the world - Mt.Everest, Mt.Kanchenjunga, Mt.Lhotse and Mt.Makalu.
