Seven best hiking spots in India
Hiking and summers might sound quite antithetical. The thought of sweating in an already hot atmosphere does sound like a task. However, there are destinations in India that make this activity a perfect way to spend your summer break. Here are 7 such hikes that you must try out this season.1-Goechala Trek
The Goechala Trek is perfect for those of you who are experienced trekkers and are looking for a challenge. This moderate to difficult trek rewards you with the most gorgeous views of 16 peaks of Himalayas in Sikkim. The trek starts from Yuksom and traverses a distance of 90 km and a maximum altitude of 15,100 feet. Over the 10 days that you spend on this trek, you experience the rhododendron lined trails through green valleys and the still reflections over Samiti Lake. It is one amazing feeling to wake up to the blushing pink peak of Kangchenjunga.
2-Kodachadri Hike
If snow is not your cup of tea, then head down to Shimoga in Karnataka. The Kodachadri trek may not be as high at the North Indian ones but is no less difficult. Rated as a moderate climb, this takes you through small farms up a slippery and rocky trail to the 10th highest peak of Karnataka. The 22 km hike takes you to a maximum of 4400 feet and can be done over a weekend. The cooling atmosphere of the rainforest and the misty Hidlumane waterfall makes this a very pleasant trek.
