With a history that dates back over 30,000 years, there\u2019s no telling what you\u2019ll find on a visit to India. Between the stunning architecture, unique and varied culture, mouth watering food, and ancient traditions, travellers who rank India at the top of their must-visit list can\u2019t be blamed for wanting to experience some of this amazing country for themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there are many ways to explore a country – cruising along rivers, prowling in a safari van, and enjoying an overland journey, to name a few – one of the best ways to truly get a feel for the culture and history of a region is to walk through it. After all, what better way to walk a mile in a local\u2019s shoes than literally <\/em>walking a mile in their shoes? Thankfully, India provides countless opportunities to explore the country by foot, and we, along with our friends at Exodus Travels, are here to provide you with a complete guide to walking through India. <\/p>\n\n\n

Best time for walking through India<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

India\u2019s weather is famously extreme, from large monsoons to scorching, dry summers. While India is certainly a year-round destination, travellers should consider their level of fitness and decide what kind of adventure they\u2019d like to have before determining when they\u2019ll visit the country. If an extreme journey trekking through mud under harsh conditions sounds like your perfect adventure, then you won\u2019t have a problem travelling during monsoon season, which lasts from about July to September (however, note that a visit to the north of India around August will actually be fairly dry and pleasant, similar to a European summer). If you\u2019re used to extreme heat and know how to properly hydrate and care for yourself when hiking long distances in those conditions, pre-monsoon, from April to June, might be perfect for you. However, travellers who don\u2019t want to contend with any extreme weather, and enjoy a more accessible journey, would do well to plan their trip from the months of October to March, when temperatures are moderate and the weather is pleasant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to pack for a walking trip in India<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While any experienced hiker knows that clothing can make or break a journey, it can occasionally feel daunting to reconcile India\u2019s more conservative standards for clothing with the breezy, comfortable outfits many western hikers feel most at home in. The most important thing to remember when packing for a trip to India is, of course, to keep things light! As with any hiking trip, the last thing you want is to feel weighed down by unessential items. Begin with these must-haves, and add in any extras as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
