How to use this page

Start by scrolling through the list of articles. Click any title that matches your current need—whether it’s choosing a trail, figuring out what to wear, or budgeting your hike. Each post opens with a quick summary, so you can decide if it’s worth a deeper read.

When you find a trail you like, note the recommended season and any permits required. Most Indian trekking routes need a forest or park entry fee; the articles usually link to the exact fee amount and where to buy the pass.

Pack smart. The 3‑layer rule article shows you how to combine a moisture‑wicking base, an insulating mid layer and a wind‑proof shell. If you’re on a tight budget, look for synthetic options that dry quickly and cost less than down.

Plan your travel days. The cost guide for a 3‑day trip gives a clear day‑by‑day budget: day one for travel to the trailhead, day two for the summit push, day three for the return. Adjust the numbers for longer treks by adding roughly 30 % per extra day.

Safety first. The Safest State in South India: Where Security Meets Serenity piece isn’t about trekking but shows you which regions have reliable emergency services and low crime rates—useful when you’re trekking in remote areas.

Finally, keep this page bookmarked. New trekking articles are added regularly, so you’ll always have fresh ideas and up‑to‑date budget numbers. Happy trails!
