My friends and I are planning a trip to India and while our stay there we would like to go trekking and to cycle somewhere in the mountain regions. We have a month, and a half stay in India, so we have enough time for both of these activities as well as some sightseeing. Our final destination has not been decided yet, and we first need to know what mountain passes in India are suitable for trekking and cycling. Our first preference is to be somewhere in North India but it is not necessary.
As you have mentioned North India is your preference for the destination, I am going to provide details of some mountain passes in North India where you can trek and cycle. On these treks, you will be able to see some beautiful views of the mountains and nature and also be near tourist attractions which you can visit.
