Stok Kangri Trek

Leh · Ladakh

India's most popular 6000er and the highest trekkable peak in the country without mountaineering certification.

The reward is standing on top of a 6000m peak with views stretching from the Karakoram to the Zanskar range. Not for the faint-hearted.

Green Lake Trek

Lachen · Sikkim

One of India's most exclusive and restricted treks, Green Lake takes you to 5100m at the foot of Kanchenjunga's north face in a zone that requires special permits from the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute.

An ancient trade route connecting Spiti to Ladakh across one of the highest trekkable passes in India at 5580m.

A winter wildlife expedition in the remote Hemis National Park — the best place on Earth to spot the elusive snow leopard.

Uttarkashi · Uttarakhand

A challenging crossover trek connecting Har Ki Dun valley to Yamunotri via the formidable Bali Pass at 4950m.

Kamet Expedition

Joshimath · Uttarakhand

India's second highest peak and the third highest in the Garhwal Himalayas. At 7756m, Kamet was the first peak over 25000ft to be climbed (1931, Frank Smythe).
