Uttarakhand

The soul of Indian trekking — snow summits, wildflower valleys and meadow ridges, nearly all launched from the gateway city of Dehradun.

About the region

Where the trails lead

Uttarakhand offers everything from gentle weekend hikes to serious high-altitude crossings. Its capital, Dehradun, is the main launch base — most treks begin with a road transfer from Dehradun, Rishikesh or Sankri rather than from the city itself.

In focus

A monsoon miracle

The Valley of Flowers — a UNESCO World Heritage site in Chamoli — does the impossible: it turns the monsoon into the best season. From July to August, 87 sq km of alpine meadow erupt into hundreds of species of wildflower beneath snow peaks.
