Trekking in India
In India, more than anything else, trekking gained popularity due to religion. The loftiness and beauty of the Himalayas made our forefathers believe that if there is any place where gods can reside, it is the Himalayas. This led to the establishment of many religious centers in the hills, the result of which is that even today thousands of devotees cross various hurdles to reach these places.
Professional trekking began in India with the coming of Europeans who found the climate of hills quite similar to those in their own country and decided to establish hill stations in the Himalayas and other mountain ranges in India. These hill stations acted as the base points from where new trek routes were explored and documented for the future generation trekkers. From those formative years, many changes have taken place. Greater number of people from all hues, ages, and income groups are participating in this sport
