If you are passionate about mountaineering, then India is the place
to be. It has a wide range of mountains to choose from - the Himalayas,
the Aravallis, the Sahyadris, the Vindhyas and many more. The pulsating
climbs are at Bhimashankar and others in Maharashtra, Satpura in Gujarat,
Manali in Himachal Pradesh, the Beas Kund region and lower reaches of Hanuman
Tibba. Shitidhar peaks around the source of the Beas river and the Deo Tibba
are basic climbs. There are numerous peaks that are suitable only for diehard
climbers and also many unscaled peaks above 10,000 feet to conquer.
Uttaranchal is flanked by the Himalayas in the north that offer some of
the most challenging mountaineering and trekking opportunities. The Hatu
peak is easily accessible and offers panoramic views. It is a 7km-walk through
dense jungles to the mountain-top, a route not easily forgotten- that is
if alpine, evergreen oaks, walnuts yews, cedar trees, flowers that bloom
in the shade, butterflies with umpteen patterns, ferns and birds catch your
imagination !
Best Time : Mid May to Mid October
