About Trekking in June in India
June is nothing but pure magic in the Indian Himalayas and trekking in this month is nothing short of a magical experience. What makes June a much anticipated trekking month in India is the fact some incredible treks like Valley of Flowers and Hemkund Sahib open after the long winter break. It is also the time for many religious treks in Himachal and Uttarakhand. June is full of adventure, and we feel you should not miss out on the chance of hiking & trekking in the Indian Himalayas in this month if you love adventure.
While it’s true, the Indian Himalayas beautify more in June, it is also true that the landslide and flood risk are also on the rise in this month. Therefore, while many new treks open in June many close for a period of 3 months. However, the treks that remain open in this part-summer and part monsoon months are truly worth it.
Amongst the Himalayan states in India that offer treks in June are Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh, and Jammu & Kashmir. In Uttarakhand, the major treks to do in June are Valley of Flowers, Hemkund Sahib, Gidara Bugyal, Har ki Dun, Bali Pass, Rupin Pass, and Dayara Bugyal. In Himachal, top treks in June include Hampta Pass, Buran Ghati and Bhrigu Lake.
In Ladakh, all the major treks are open for the trekkers since rainfall is scanty here. Stok Kangri, Darcha Padum, Sham Valley, Lamayuru to Alchi, Darcha to Lamayuru are some of the major treks to do in June in Ladakh. In Jammu & Kashmir, all the alpine lake treks including Tarsar and Marsar Lake, Gangabal, Kishansar and Vishansar Lake and the Great Lakes are open for the trekkers in June.
