Himalayan Treks For Families and Children March 17, 2021
We’ve always believed that children should be exposed to trekking from a young age. Trekking together as a family deepens bonds and benefits their growth immensely.
Trekking with family was a new concept – and that too in the Himalayas. We believed that nothing could be a better experience for families.
We have selected these three treks suitable for families and children :
1. Dayara Bugyal
2. Kedarkantha
3. Deoban
Why these three treks
Kedarkantha is an even-paced summit trek
Almost everyone knows about the Kedarkantha trek. Not only does it have dense forest trails and pretty campsites, it’s a trek that comes with a huge sense of achievement upon climbing the summit at 12,500 ft!
The bonus is that it covers short distances everyday and you’re at the next campsite before lunch! It definitely is up there amongst the best treks for children.
Dayara Bugyal is an easy meadow trek
Dayara Bugyal is perhaps our most ideal trek for children. With its campsites located at just the right distance from each other, it has a perfect balance of trek time and leisure time.
Mountain views and alpine meadows like these are hard to find elsewhere at such ease.
Deoban Weekend Trek
Deoban is a lovely weekend trek just off Chakrata. It passes through few of the oldest deodar forests of the region. The forests open up to a lovely valley with very grand views of big mountains of the Garhwal Himalayas.
On a clear day, you can spot as many as 55 peaks! This makes for a grand experience for children, over just one weekend. It’s not too hard on the legs either.
