Trekking in Himalaya

Trekking is the main attraction for adventure lovers in the region. The trekking season is roughly from September to mid-June with the winter months constituting a relatively lean period. The monsoon season is not the best time to trek due to excessive rainfall and cold.

Trekkers with a reasonable degree of physical fitness, without any prior experience, can manage the altitude that ranges from 6000 to 16000 feet above sea level. The Himalayan foothills are ideal for jungle treks and camps throughout the year.

Safety and Insurance

Our programs' leaders will be ensuring your safety and security. Extensive and painstaking preparations go into the planning of each trekking route keeping safety in mind. Our experienced trek leaders have been constantly visiting the area to check all the details. Stringent safety standards are adhered to and only quality equipment is used. Travel insurance should be made by the participants themselves.

Trekking permit and entry formalities

Travelling to many parts of the Eastern Himalayas requires a protected area permit (PAP) an Inner Line Permit (ILP) and a Restricted area permit (RAP). The permits are applicable to foreign nationals and some cases to Indian nationals as well. You are requested to confirm with our travel executive about the permit-related issues applicable to the area where you are travelling. In most cases, HUMRO TOURS makes necessary arrangements for permits which may require your photograph, ID proof, visa, passport photocopy etc. In case you need to arrange for the permits directly, we would still be providing you with the necessary guidelines and assistance in this matter.

Equipment

All the trekking gear and adventure sports equipment are tested by experts before use.

Medical Facilities

First aid kits and basic medication are carried by program leaders during the trek. Those on special medication or with known drug allergies should bring their own necessary medicines.
