Refresh in the verdure of mountains, pine-scented air, misty slopes and eye-widening picturesque views by scaling mountains with astounding treks. It is an unmissable experience in India to explore the varied and beautiful mountain chains of the country. The Himalayas in the north and the Western Ghats in the south, India brims with numerous breathtaking trek routes which surprise with the magical views of nature. Interestingly, you are offered a wide range of options to choose from the mountain ranges blessed with distinct topography. For example, if we talk about the Himalayas, then be prepared for majestic snow-shrouded alpine mountains with glacial rivers and lakes cradled in the towering heights. It also awes trekkers with its cold desert featuring boulder filled pathways and continuous steeps. Similarly, when talking about the Eastern Ghats and Western Ghats (aka Sahyadris) in the peninsular region, you will come across refreshing views of tropical forests taking you through waterfalls, tea-coffee estates and unpredictable showers bathing the scenery in sheer greenery. So let’s take a look at the best trekking destinations in India for a rejuvenating and thrilling experience.
Also known as Zanskar trek, it is one of the most beautiful winter treks in India located in Jammu and Kashmir. You can enjoy it in January and February when the mercury plummets between -30 to -35 degree Celsius. It is done on Zanskar River which freezes in winters creating wonderful trekking opportunities. The trail starts from Chilling and continues to Nerak (11,150 ft.), which is also the returning point. Another option is to extend it till Lingshed and Padum, taking 14 days.
Roopkund is a high altitude (16,470 ft.) glacial lake lying in the lap of Trishul massif of the Himalayas. With the depth of 2 m, the lake is known for its mystery of hundreds of human skeletons found in it. You can find it in Chamoli district of the state near the base of two Himalayan peaks viz. Trishul (7,120 m) and Nanda Ghunti (6,310 m). The trail will pass you through mesmerizing places like Bedni Bugyal (meadow), Patar Nachauni, Didina and Bhagwabasa.
Goecha La is great to see the instantly changing landscapes and continuously altering altitudes beckoning you to some of the world's tallest peaks. The trek starts from Yuksum and passes through places like Bakhim, Tshoka, Dzongri and Lamseng. It is of moderate difficulty level and the duration generally ranges around 11 days. Capture stunning mountain views speckled with vivid Rhododendrons, waterfalls and sparkling snow. The sunrise view seen on the Kanchenjunga range is unbeatable of all.
Satiate your longing for immersing in the arms of nature by undertaking an invigorating trek to the second highest peak of Karnataka, Kudremukh. It is found in Chikkamagaluru district nestled in the Western Ghats. Enjoy the 15 km trek and get rewarded with jaw-dropping views encompassed by the meadows. Along the way, you will be surprised by majestic views of dense forests, tall bamboo shrubs and multiple picturesque waterfalls.

UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE !
I just came back from a 12 days Rajasthan tour. It was just myself and my 14 year olde daughter. I found Caper surfing the web and had non suggestion from friends and had never read comments or reviews about it. Totally "blind-choice". I was very lucky. The organization was really excellent. The agent that followed us, Mr. Praveen Juyal did a great job. I decided our itinerary and he punctually gave me suggestions on the best management of my choices. The hotel choice was fine and confirmed expectations. We had tour guides in every site seeing location and they were all extremely professional, very punctual and really kind and polite.
But I must say that what made the trip even better was our driver; Mr. Deshraj.
One of those persons that you really wish you could meet once in your life. Not only an excellent driver but always helpful, respectful and friendly. He explained us many things about Indian life along the journey and sometimes stopped for short breaks in beautiful places on the road that were not even mentioned in the guide books. My only regret is that at the end of the trip I didn't have much money left and I left a tip probably not adeguate for the kind of service but I will definitely send him try to sort this maybe in a next trip. Thank you very much Caper and Deshraj.

A Memorable Trip
We recently concluded a 12 day driving tour of New Delhi, Agra and Rajasthan with Caper Travel. It was most enjoyable !! The logistics arrangements were excellent - from tour planning , hotel selection , vehicle condition to driver. Mr Alok handled the planning, and Mr Vikram was our Tempo driver throughout the journey. Mr Vikram was very helpful , accommodating and patient throughout the tour, despite long hours of driving on the roads ( not to mention India traffic}. We would not hesitate to recommend Caper to our fellow travellers who are thinking of visiting India. Thank You Caper !

Golden triangle goa and mumbia
Just come back from an amazing 2 week trip to India. First we done the golden triangle which we chose to do the train trip from Delhi to Agra a must you have to do if not just for the experience. All the cities were wonderful but be prepared to see lots of temple one seems to run into another but wow the taj was my highlight along with the Hindu temple in Delhi. The driving the cows the dogs are everywhere are all an experience. Goa was beautiful we stayed at the taj exotica. In mumbia we done a city tour and ended our trip in the taj for afternoon tea another must. It is a exhilarating trip but one I will never forget. From booking with Manika to all the drivers and guides they were always there to meet us from the airport and hotels on time. They really looked after us thank you all.

Wonderful trip
We have just returned from our first trip to India and we must say it was absolutely fascinating. The itinerary was first class and covered everything we could have wished for. On arrival we were met by a very nice rep and driver who took us to our hotel and sorted out the necessary paperwork with us. We had our driver Vishan for our time in the north and he was terrific, kept the vehicle spotless and kept us supplied with water. We then flew to the south of India and met up with our driver Suhdeer who again was very nice and very informative about things as we drove along. The guides we had on all our trips were excellent and again very informative.
The only down side to it all was that in our package we paid for the drivers accommodation, food and allowance only to find out that the drivers don’t receive this money and if they want accommodation they have to pay for it themselves. We ended up paying one of our drivers an amount for the nights that we had him for him to get somewhere to sleep and food as we were concerned that if he slept in his car he wouldn’t be rested enough to take on the next day driving for 4-5 hours.
All in all Caper Travel are excellent in their planning and can’t fault them for that.

Caper travel
Recently traveled to India on a private guided tour with Caper Travel. Ms. Mumtaz Khan worked with me on arranging my itinerary.
She was always available to answer all my concerns immediately. On my arrival in Delhi I was welcome with warm smile at the airport by a young gentleman name Kapol Joshi . My experience with the company was amazing and I would highly recommend to anyone traveling to India.
I would also like to mention the personal attention I received at Amritsar by Aman Shara and his lovely wife who welcomed me and my son to their home
and soon to open their beautiful hotel.
