Experiences

Delhi is an attraction for people belonging to a completely different lifestyle, which seldom includes trekking. But, the lesser known fact is that some of the most challenging, adventurous and enthralling trekking destinations are spread around Delhi. Almost all the trekkers, amateurs as well as professional, who trek the mountains of Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Jammu & Kashmir consider Delhi their base camp. One would say that Delhi isn’t a conventional place to trek in India. However, with the best trekking tours in Delhi and around, people rarely leave out Delhi from their plans. The Nag Tibba Trek situated in the hills of Uttarakhand is quite famous. To begin the Nag Tibba Trek, you need to travel from Delhi to Dehradun and then further till Devalsari via Mussoorie. The highest altitude of this trek is 10,000 feet, while the difficulty level assigned is EA. Most of the amateurs trek Nag Tibba before proceeding towards higher difficulty treks. Adventure enthusiasts seeking relief from the heat in Delhi summer often take refuge by trekking here for a few days. Another trek that takes you into the mountain ranges of Uttarakhand is climbing to the peak of Kedarkantha. Similar to the Nag Tibba Trek, you need to travel from Delhi to Dehradun in the first leg.

The second leg consists of a jeep/car ride from Dehradun to Sankri Village which is the actual base of the trek. Even though you climb to an altitude of about 12,500 feet on this trek, it is considered EASY. Another interesting trekking destination around Delhi is The Beas Kund Trek, located in Himachal Pradesh which traverses the Solang Valley. One must complete a 12-hour challenging and rather gruesome bus/car journey to reach the town of Manali, then proceed to Solang Nala to commence the trek. A trekker climbs as high as 12,000 feet on the Beas Kund trek. It’s a quick getaway from Delhi. Though it is quite far away from Delhi by road, The Chadar Trek, is one of the most challenging treks in India can be considered as option for treks around Delhi. You trek on a sheet of ice formed over the winter on the Zanskar River. As this trek is only possible in the months of January, February and sometimes March, it requires you to travel to Leh which is accessible only through air at that time of the year. A 2-2.5 hour flight from Delhi to Leh and a short ride from Leh city to the Zanskar River, and you begin towards an unforgettable experience of the Chadar trek. So set on the best trekking tours in Delhi and cherish the experience of a lifetime.

Shivam Dixit Kasol Trip and Trek to Kheerganga from Delhi

Excellent

"The trip was amazing. Loved the campsite, it's right next to the Parvati river and you feel relaxed just sitting there and absorbing the nature. The organisers were also amazing as they arranged for seperate tents for us and also the transportation provided was very good. The busses were very comfortable and had all the amenities promised. We had the freedom to roam around the city and the guide was well behaved, correct mix of strict and friendly."

Jyoti Chaturvedi Kasol Trip and Trek to Kheerganga from Delhi

Excellent

Kheerganga Trek is the best trek i have ever done. Me and my husband both trusted thrillophilia gateway for treking package. And I must say it's the best treking and camping experience for both of us. We trekked with 20 people's group with 2 guides with us. Both of them was very helpful and supportive. Treking with one guide named (Zorochi Stark) on truecaller was really fun. He was really strict about discipline but he was too funny too. Camping and food was the best at this price. We have done wrong date booking by mistaken I guess. But thanks to thrillophilia team to solve it quick and change our booking date. The way to kheerganga was really challenging as its monsoon so trek was very slippery too. But I found it as great adventure. Loved the trip

Kingshuk Kingshuk Kasol Trip and Trek to Kheerganga from Delhi

Excellent

The sheer mismanagement and delay in providing the confirmation voucher including booking the transport from Delhi to Kasol and back by Thrillophilia was evened out by the outstanding Trek and facilities arranged by the vendor. Hisham with his entire crew of Yashpal, Vicky and Bablu were simply outstanding. Whether it may be the delicious food or the adventures planned by them, all was spot on. I will always remember this trip for the adventures, my first snowfall and our crazy trek downhill from Kheerganga in between heavy snowfall :). Cheers to all:)

Megha Bansal Kasol Trip and Trek to Kheerganga from Delhi

Excellent

Being my first solo trip, I was too nervous prior to boarding the bus to Kasol. But man, what a trip. First of all, I encourage all the readers to try going solo at least once especially on the mountains. The experience was overwhelming. I met other people as well in my journey that came via thrillophilia that made my trip pretty interesting. I enjoyed every bit of it. Whether it was on road, at Kasol or the kheerganga trek, I enjoyed every moment. Since it is October, the weather dropped significantly at Kheerganga, which was surprisingly pleasant for me. The trek was pretty hard but my guide helped me reach the destination comfortably. He was a lot friendly too.. I enjoyed the food as well. The best part was the bonfire at kheerganga to loosen us a bit. To sum it up, each and every moment of my trip was something I'd relish for a long, long time and I just can't wait to plan my next trip again. Thanks Thrillophilia. Cheers!
