About Trekking in April in India
April is the time when the spring season is in its full swing. No wonder everything is lush green and the views are truly to die for in the Indian Himalayas. Most of the trekkers wait till May to trek in the Himalayas, and it makes this spring month even more desirable if you want all that beauty and adventure to yourself.
In April, you can expect some snow on high altitude treks but in lower altitude treks you will be greeted by lush rhododendrons and other flowering plants blooming to their fullest. The air feels fresh and crisp and the clear blue sky from end to end adds to the visual treat. Trekking amidst such gorgeous scenery is something you cannot miss.
The spring month is best for trekking in Jammu & Kashmir, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and Sikkim. Where the trekking trails in Uttarakhand and Sikkim get decorated with blooming rhododendrons in white and red colours, in Himachal Pradesh, peach tree flowers beautify many trekking paths. In Jammu & Kashmir, a variety of flowers grow and the greenery returns making trekking in April quite an experience.
Uttarakhand is one of the best destinations for trekking in April as it offers numerous treks in this spring month. Treks of all difficulty levels – easy, moderate, challenging open for the trekkers. Dayara Bugyal, Kedarkantha, Har ki Dun, Brahmatal, Ali Bedni Bugyal, Chopta Chandrashila, Deoriatal, and Pangarchulla are the top treks in Uttarakhand in April. In Himachal, Hampta Pass, Prashar Lake, and Kareri Lake are the top treks in this spring month. In Sikkim, Goecha La and Sandakphu-Phalut make for the best treks in April for adventurers.
