You can have a glimpse of the scenic locations on boats, gliders, cabs and vehicles but nothing comes close to the personally feeling the soil beneath. Trekking in Himachal is one of the most enriching experiences ever and with every kilometer you cover, you learn something new about the place, the locals, the food, or yourself. Through jaw-dropping locales, green spreads of grasses and landscapes, clear blue skies and composed water streams, you will get close and personal with nature and all of its beautiful offerings.
