I’m regularly asked which treks are ideal to do during the monsoon. During the months of July, August, and September, this is the case. However, I’ve noticed that trekkers are confident in their knowledge of where to trek and what to expect. So, in this essay, I’ll address all of those concerns. Explore about monsoon treks –
1. Hampta Pass Trek
If you enjoy being in the middle of nature, it’s time to journey in the Land of Nod of Unpredictable Lands of Hampta Pass. In just a few hours of walking on the Hampta Pass trekking trail, the scenery changes dramatically. The abundance of natural scenery compensates for the lack of anything treasonous on the trail. It will take you by surprise at every twist and turn.
The entire Hampta Pass trek track is littered with everything you could possibly want to see on a hike. During the monsoon months, Hampta Pass Walk looks to be an angelic beauty, making it a wonderful trek for both beginner and experienced trekkers. This magnificent trek begins in Manali and connects Kullu Valley and Lahaul Valley, providing breathtaking views of icebergs, the majestic Himalayas, luminous gorges, and more.
2. Kashmir Great Lakes Trek
The Kashmir Great Lake Trek, one of the most popular treks in the Kashmir valley, with shimmering ponds and a stunning alpine environment as its high point.
The Great Lake Trek offers the opportunity to visit several high-altitude lakes while also boasting an engaging landscape and snow-capped hills. Walk along the banks of lakes like Gangabal, Gadsar, Kushinagar, Nundkol, and Vishnasar as the rain pours down. Snow-capped peaks, a mild temperature, and placid lakes all appear to be appealing.
3. Sinhagad Trek
A hike to Sinhagad fort, a 17th-century fort located roughly 30 kilometres from Pune, is an average level of difficulty and is famed for its alfresco supper. This fort has been constructed with green open surrounds, personifying the bravery of Maratha troops during the Sinhanad Battle. The Sinhagad walk is a one-day hike that is particularly beautiful when it rains. The views of the sunrise and sunset are spectacular. Admission to a popular monsoon expedition is a wonderful experience.
During the rainy season, Sinhagad turns a beautiful shade of green, and walking up the fort in those foggy early mornings is the finest way to see it. It will take you anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes to reach the peak, depending on your health at the halfway point. You can also boost up to the top and find stuff to do there if you’re not in the mood to climb.
4. Roopkund Trek
Roopkund, India’s most famous hike, is practically impossible to miss. The Roopkund trail ascends through intimidating dark trees, bursting into Ali and Bedni Bugyal almost instantaneously. The trail then quickly transitions out of the fields and into spectacular alpine areas.
Climbing to the Roopkund lake on snow is a thrilling experience. Mt Trishul looms large over the scene, getting closer as you ascend higher over a ridge above Roopkund. The trekker is the only thing standing between them and Trishul.
The Roopkund Lake journey, also known as the Mystery Lake or Skeleton Lake, is a fantastic one. Green surroundings, snow-capped summits, deep forest, narrow passes, strewn glaciers, and gorgeous meadows surround the lake. During the rainy season, the area transforms into a haven. It will lead you to a pond that is surrounded by a hundred human skeletons. There are a few mythologies about this lake. Lohajung is the starting point for the journey.
5. Zanskar Valley Trek
The Zanskar Valley trip, which takes place during the monsoon rains, provides a modern explanation for this expedition known as trekking in Ladakh. Trekkers pass through renowned sanctuaries, lonely communities, and treacherous valleys, all of which are worth capturing in your cameras. The Zanskar valley trip begins in Darcha and ends in Padum, passing through Palahmo, Zanskar Sumdo, Chumik Nakpo, Lakhang via Shingo Pass, Kargil, Phutkal, Purni, Pipula, Raru, and Padum.
A strenuous walk that winds its way through remote Ladakh and Zanskar regions, with straight ascents and winding descents over high passes. It has steep ravines dotted with white mud-brick structures and Buddhist shrines, as well as communities banded with multi-hued stones.
