IndiaIndia treks similar to Nepal?
I've trekked in Nepal but am looking for something quieter but still a challenge. What do you recommend in Kashmir or Sikkim that are comparable?
Kashmir and Sikkim both offer spectacular treks with cultural dimensions similar to what you experienced in Nepal. For Kashmir, the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek is stunning and offers incredible meadows and views although the altitude peaks around 4,200m. For Sikkim, the Goechala Trek gets you close to Kanchenjunga (8,586m) and offers amazing views and Buddhist cultural sites. This one reaches up to 4,940m.
