Quick Info: 7 best easy winter treks in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh for beginners. Season: December to March. Difficulty: Easy to moderate. Budget: Rs 2,000 to Rs 12,000 per person depending on trek duration and whether you go solo or with an organized group. Altitude range: 2,450 to 3,810 meters. All treks accessible from Delhi within 8-12 hours by road.
Looking for easy winter treks in Uttarakhand and Himachal that you can do even as a beginner? I have been trekking in the Himalayas for over a decade now, and winter treks hold a special place in my heart. There is something about walking through snow-covered trails in complete silence, with the crisp winter air and the white peaks all around, that no summer trek can match.
After sharing the series of snowfall places near Delhi in Uttarakhand and snowfall places in Himachal sometime back, I thought why not share a curated list of easy winter treks in the Himalayas that even first-timers can attempt. These are not technical climbs. These are well-marked, beginner-friendly trails where you get to experience snow, solitude, and stunning views without needing any prior trekking experience.
I have specifically pulled out the top 7 easy treks from a long list available in the DwD Community. Once you cover them, you can refer to the comprehensive lists for easy treks in Himachal and easy treks in Uttarakhand that are already present on the blog.

Let's quickly dive into the details:
What Makes Winter Trekking in the Himalayas Special?
Winter treks between December and March offer a completely different experience compared to summer or monsoon treks. The trails that are green and crowded in summer turn into snow-covered, quiet paths in winter. You will find far fewer trekkers on the trail, which means you get the mountains almost to yourself.
The views are also dramatically better in winter. The clear skies mean you can see peaks that are hidden behind clouds for most of the year. I have personally experienced days in December at Tungnath where the entire Kedar range, from Kedarnath to Nanda Devi, was visible in one panoramic sweep. That simply does not happen in July or August.
However, keep in mind that winter trekking comes with its own set of challenges. Temperatures can drop to -5 to -15 degrees Celsius at higher altitudes. The days are shorter, so you need to start early and reach camp before sunset. Snow can make trails slippery, and in some cases, the trail itself may not be visible. Hence, I always suggest going with a local guide for any winter trek, especially if it is your first time.
How to Choose the Right Winter Trek for Beginners?
Choosing the right winter trek depends on three factors: your fitness level, the number of days you have, and how cold you are comfortable being. Here is a quick decision guide to help you pick the right trek from this list.
If you have only 1-2 days: Bijli Mahadev, Triund, Prashar Lake, or Deoriatal. All of these are short treks that you can do over a weekend from Delhi.
If you have 4-6 days: Kedarkantha or Har Ki Dun. These are multi-day treks that require camping and offer a more immersive winter experience.
If you want the easiest possible trek: Deoriatal (3-4 km one way, 2,450 meters altitude) or Bijli Mahadev (3-4 km one way, 2,450 meters altitude). Both are short, low-altitude, and very beginner-friendly.
If you want a summit experience: Kedarkantha (3,810 meters) or Chandrashilla (4,000 meters). Both give you the thrill of reaching a peak and seeing 360-degree views of snow-covered Himalayas.
Which Are the Best Easy Winter Treks in Himachal Pradesh?
Let us look at three easy winter treks that you can go to in Himachal Pradesh. I have provided the key details of each trek including how to reach, approximate costs, and practical tips. It will help you quickly decide which one to choose based on your requirements.
1. Bijli Mahadev Trek, Kullu
The Bijli Mahadev trek is one of the easiest winter treks in Himachal and a personal favorite of mine. The trek starts from Chansari village near Kullu and takes you to the ancient Bijli Mahadev temple at an altitude of 2,450 meters. The temple is famous for its lightning rod, a Shivling that is said to be shattered by lightning and then restored by the priest using butter and sattoo. Quite a story, is it not?
From the top, you get panoramic views of the Pir Panjal range, Kullu Valley, and the Beas and Parvati rivers merging below. In winter, the entire trail gets covered in snow, and on a clear day, the views are simply stunning. The trek is only about 3-4 km one way (6-8 km round trip depending on where your vehicle can reach), so even families with kids can attempt this.
| Trek Name | Bijli Mahadev |
| Trek Location | Chansari, Kullu, Himachal Pradesh |
| Trek Highlights | Pir Panjal range views, ancient Shiva temple, snow-covered trail |
| Number of Days Required | 1 day |
| Trek Difficulty Level | Easy |
| Max Altitude | 2,450 meters (8,038 feet) |
| Trek Length (Round Trip) | 6-8 km |
| Best Time | December to February for snow |
| How to Reach | Delhi to Kullu by bus (12-14 hrs) or flight to Bhuntar. Then taxi to Chansari village (25 km from Kullu) |
| Approximate Cost | Rs 2,000-3,000 per person (transport + food, no stay needed) |
Pro Tip: Start early in the morning, ideally by 7-8 AM. The snow gets soft and slippery in the afternoon sun. Also, carry microspikes or at least good grip shoes. You can read more about trekking shoes under Rs 5000 if you need budget options.
2. Triund Trek, McLeodganj
Triund is probably the most popular weekend trek in Himachal, and in winter, it becomes a completely different experience. The trek starts from Gallu Devi temple near McLeodganj and takes you to the Triund ridge at 2,800 meters. From the top, you get unobstructed views of the Dhauladhar range on one side and the Kangra Valley with aerial views of Dharamshala on the other.
In winter, the upper sections of the trail get covered in snow, and depending on the conditions, you may or may not be able to complete the entire Triund trek. The Dhauladhars look absolutely spectacular with fresh snow on them. If you are into photography, this is a winter treat.
Important update as of 2025: Camping at Triund top is now regulated by the Himachal Pradesh Forest Department. Only 20 tents are allowed at the campground, and overnight stays are limited to 40 tourists. You need a permit that costs Rs 100 per person per day, plus Rs 550 per tent for overnight camping. I suggest booking through a certified trekking provider to avoid any issues. Unauthorized camping attracts a fine of Rs 5,000, so keep this in mind.
If you want to explore more treks in this region, check my detailed article on treks in the Dhauladhars near McLeodganj.
| Trek Name | Triund |
| Trek Location | McLeodganj – Gallu Devi, Himachal Pradesh |
| Trek Highlights | Dhauladhar range, Kangra Valley views, snow and sunsets |
| Number of Days Required | 1-2 days |
| Trek Difficulty Level | Easy |
| Max Altitude | 2,800 meters (9,186 feet) |
| Trek Length (Round Trip) | 18 km |
| Best Time | December to February for snow (regulated camping) |
| How to Reach | Delhi to Dharamshala by bus (10-12 hrs). Then auto/taxi to McLeodganj (20 min). Trek starts from Gallu Devi temple |
| Approximate Cost | Rs 3,000-5,000 per person (transport + food + camping permit) |
3. Prashar Lake Trek, Mandi
The Prashar Lake trek is one of the most rewarding short winter treks in Himachal. The trek starts from Baggi village near Mandi and takes you to the sacred Prashar Lake at 2,700 meters. The lake itself is a marvel, with a floating island in the middle and an ancient pagoda-style temple dedicated to sage Prashar on its banks.
In winter, the lake freezes completely in January and February, and the surrounding meadows get covered in thick snow. The Dhauladhar range forms a dramatic backdrop. I have done this trek in January, and walking on the frozen lake is an experience that stays with you. The whole trek is about 7-9 km one way (15-18 km round trip) depending on how far up the road your vehicle can manage in snow.
| Trek Name | Prashar Lake |
| Trek Location | Mandi, Himachal Pradesh |
| Trek Highlights | Frozen Prashar Lake, ancient pagoda temple, Dhauladhar views |
| Number of Days Required | 1-2 days |
| Trek Difficulty Level | Easy |
| Max Altitude | 2,700 meters (8,858 feet) |
| Trek Length (Round Trip) | 15-18 km in winters |
| Best Time | January to February for frozen lake and snow |
| How to Reach | Delhi to Mandi by bus (10-12 hrs). Then taxi to Baggi village (50 km from Mandi, 1.5 hrs) |
| Approximate Cost | Rs 2,500-4,000 per person (transport + food + basic stay) |
Which Are the Best Easy Winter Treks in Uttarakhand?
Let us now look at the easy winter treks in Uttarakhand. The Garhwal and Kumaon regions of Uttarakhand offer some of the finest winter trekking experiences in India, with well-maintained trails, stunning peak views, and relatively easy access from Delhi.
4. Tungnath – Chandrashilla Trek, Chopta
The Tungnath – Chandrashilla trek is one of my all-time favorites and the one I have done the most number of times. The trek starts from Chopta village near Ukhimath and first takes you to Tungnath temple at 3,680 meters (the highest Shiva temple in the world), and then further up to Chandrashilla peak at 4,000 meters.
In winter, the entire trail from Chopta to Tungnath gets blanketed in snow. On a clear day from the summit, you can see an unbroken panorama from the Kedar range to Nanda Devi, including Chaukhamba, Trishul, and Bandarpunch. It is one of those views that makes you forget everything else. I highly recommend taking a local guide along in winter because the trail beyond Tungnath to Chandrashilla can be completely buried under snow, and route finding becomes difficult.
You can also read my personal snow trek experience at Tungnath if you want to know what to expect on the trail.
| Trek Name | Tungnath – Chandrashilla |
| Trek Location | Chopta, Uttarakhand |
| Trek Highlights | Highest Shiva temple, 360-degree Himalayan panorama from Kedar range to Nanda Devi |
| Number of Days Required | 1 day (trek) + 1 day travel = 2-3 days from Delhi |
| Trek Difficulty Level | Easy to moderate |
| Max Altitude | 3,680 meters / Tungnath (12,073 ft) and 4,000 meters / Chandrashilla (13,123 ft) |
| Trek Length (Round Trip) | 10-13 km |
| Best Time | December to February for snow (Chandrashilla may not be accessible in extreme snow) |
| How to Reach | Delhi to Rishikesh by bus/train (5-6 hrs). Rishikesh to Chopta via Ukhimath (200 km, 8-9 hrs by road) |
| Approximate Cost | Rs 3,000-5,000 per person (transport + food + guide + basic stay at Chopta) |
Note: Chandrashilla summit may not be accessible in extreme winters or when there is heavy snow accumulation. In such cases, the trek to Tungnath temple itself is very rewarding and should not be skipped.
5. Deoriatal Trek, Sari Village
The Deoriatal trek is probably the easiest winter trek on this entire list. The trek starts from Sari village near Ukhimath and takes you to the beautiful Deoriatal lake at 2,450 meters. The distance is only about 3-4 km one way, making it accessible for almost anyone, including families with children.
The highlight of Deoriatal is the reflection of the Chaukhamba peak in the lake, especially in the early morning hours. In winter, the surrounding forest gets covered in snow, and the lake itself may partially freeze. I highly recommend camping overnight at Deoriatal to witness the magical reflections at sunrise. You can read about my experience in Reflections in Deoria Tal.
Since Deoriatal is very close to Chopta, many trekkers combine it with the Tungnath – Chandrashilla – Deoriatal itinerary, which gives you two treks in one trip.
| Trek Name | Deoriatal |
| Trek Location | Sari Village, Uttarakhand |
| Trek Highlights | Chaukhamba peak reflections in the lake, snow-covered forest, peaceful camping |
| Number of Days Required | 1 day (trek) + 1 day travel = 2-3 days from Delhi |
| Trek Difficulty Level | Easy |
| Max Altitude | 2,450 meters (8,038 feet) |
| Trek Length (Round Trip) | 6-8 km |
| Best Time | December to February for snow and clear views |
| How to Reach | Delhi to Rishikesh (5-6 hrs). Rishikesh to Sari Village via Ukhimath (195 km, 8 hrs by road) |
| Approximate Cost | Rs 2,500-4,000 per person (transport + food + camping/guest house) |
6. Har Ki Dun Trek, Sankri
Har Ki Dun is the longest trek on this list, but it earns its place because it is one of the most beautiful valley treks in India. The trek starts from Sankri in the Govind Wildlife Sanctuary and takes you through dense pine forests, riverside trails, and remote villages to the Har Ki Dun valley at 3,500 meters. The valley is believed to be linked to the Mahabharata, with locals claiming it is the path the Pandavas took to heaven.
In winter, the entire valley gets covered in snow, and the views of the Swargarohini peak and Jaundhar glacier are spectacular. The trek difficulty level is easy to moderate, but it is a multi-day affair. You will be camping for 4-5 nights on the trail. The total distance is about 54 km round trip from Sankri. Also, keep in mind that it may not be possible to complete the entire trek in extreme winters depending on the amount of snow.
| Trek Name | Har Ki Dun |
| Trek Location | Sankri, Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand |
| Trek Highlights | Swargarohini peak, Jaundhar glacier, ancient villages, Mahabharata connection |
| Number of Days Required | 5-6 days |
| Trek Difficulty Level | Easy to moderate |
| Max Altitude | 3,500 meters (11,483 feet) |
| Trek Length (Round Trip) | 54 km |
| Best Time | December to early February (heavy snow may block trail later) |
| How to Reach | Delhi to Dehradun by bus/train (5-6 hrs). Dehradun to Sankri via Mussoorie and Purola (200 km, 9-10 hrs by road) |
| Approximate Cost | Rs 8,000-12,000 per person with guide, camping, and food (5-6 day trek) |
You should always carry your water bottle and refill it as many times as you need water. It will not only keep you hydrated always, but you will also help in saving the Himalayas from plastic garbage. Remember, every tiny step counts and your step in this direction can help save the Himalayas too !! 🙂 🙂
Bonus: Is Kedarkantha the Best Winter Trek in India?
Kedarkantha deserves a special mention because it has become the most popular winter trek in India over the last few years, and for good reason. The trek starts from Sankri village in Uttarkashi district (same base as Har Ki Dun) and takes you to the Kedarkantha summit at 3,810 meters (12,500 feet).
What makes Kedarkantha special is the combination of beautiful pine and oak forests on the lower sections, followed by wide open meadows covered in pristine snow, and finally a rewarding summit climb that gives you 360-degree views of Himalayan peaks including Swargarohini, Bandarpunch, Black Peak, and Ranglana. The frozen Juda Ka Talab (lake) on the way is another highlight.
The trek takes 4-6 days (including travel from Delhi) and the difficulty is easy to moderate. Organized trek packages cost between Rs 5,000 to Rs 11,000 per person from Sankri, which includes camping, food, and guide. If you are doing only one winter trek this season, Kedarkantha is the one I would recommend. You can read the detailed Kedarkantha trek guide for the complete itinerary and planning details.
| Trek Name | Kedarkantha |
| Trek Location | Sankri, Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand |
| Trek Highlights | Summit climb, 360-degree Himalayan views, frozen Juda Ka Talab, pine forests |
| Number of Days Required | 4-6 days |
| Trek Difficulty Level | Easy to moderate |
| Max Altitude | 3,810 meters (12,500 feet) |
| Trek Length (Round Trip) | 20 km |
| Best Time | December to March for the best snow experience |
| How to Reach | Delhi to Dehradun by bus/train (5-6 hrs). Dehradun to Sankri via Mussoorie and Purola (200 km, 9-10 hrs by road) |
| Approximate Cost | Rs 5,000-11,000 per person (organized trek with camping, food, guide) |
What Should You Pack for a Winter Trek in the Himalayas?
Packing right for a winter trek can make the difference between an enjoyable experience and a miserable one. Here is a quick checklist that I have refined over years of winter trekking in Uttarakhand and Himachal.
Clothing (layering system): Thermal inner layer (top + bottom), fleece or woolen mid-layer, waterproof outer jacket, trekking pants (not jeans), warm socks (2-3 pairs), woolen cap, neck gaiter or balaclava, waterproof gloves (liner + outer), and a down jacket for evening and morning hours.
Footwear: Waterproof trekking shoes with good ankle support and grip. This is the single most important item for winter treks. Avoid sports shoes completely. I have shared my recommendations in the best trekking shoes under Rs 5000 guide. Also consider carrying microspikes or simple snow chains for your shoes if you expect deep snow.
Gear: Trekking pole (very helpful for balance on snow), headlamp with extra batteries, sunglasses (snow blindness is real), sunscreen SPF 50+, water bottle (insulated, so water does not freeze), basic first aid kit, and a backpack rain cover.
Optional but useful: Gaiters (to keep snow out of your shoes), a thermos for hot water or tea, hand warmers, and a good winter jacket under Rs 5000 if you are on a budget.
For the complete list, do check the 12 must-have things to carry on a hiking or trekking trip.
How Much Does a Winter Trek Cost in 2026?
The cost of a winter trek in Uttarakhand or Himachal depends on whether you are going solo (self-arranged) or with an organized trekking group. Here is a rough budget breakdown as of 2026.
| Expense Category | Short Trek (1-2 days) | Multi-Day Trek (4-6 days) |
| Transport (Delhi round trip) | Rs 1,500-2,500 | Rs 2,000-3,500 |
| Food | Rs 300-500 | Rs 1,500-3,000 (included in packages) |
| Accommodation/Camping | Rs 500-1,000 | Rs 2,000-4,000 (included in packages) |
| Guide/Porter | Rs 0-500 (optional for short treks) | Rs 1,500-3,000 (included in packages) |
| Permits and Entry Fees | Rs 100-200 | Rs 200-500 |
| Total per Person | Rs 2,000-4,500 | Rs 5,000-12,000 |
Money-saving tip: For multi-day treks like Kedarkantha and Har Ki Dun, organized packages are often cheaper than going solo because they include everything. The magical number is 4, as I always say. If you go with 3 more friends and split the taxi costs, your per-person transport expense drops significantly. Also, booking treks during weekdays in January is usually cheaper than December or February weekends.
What Are the Safety Tips for Winter Trekking?
Winter trekking in the Himalayas is not something to take lightly. The mountains in winter demand respect. Here are some safety tips that I always follow and recommend to everyone.
Never trek solo in winter. Even on easy trails, snow can obscure the path, weather can change in minutes, and if you slip or get injured, there may be nobody around for hours. Always go with at least one companion and hire a local guide.
Start early, finish early. In winter, daylight is limited (sunrise around 7 AM, sunset by 5 PM). Start your trek by 7-8 AM and aim to reach your campsite or destination by 2-3 PM. Trekking after sunset in snow is dangerous.
Watch for AMS at higher altitudes. Even on “easy” treks like Chandrashilla (4,000 meters) and Kedarkantha (3,810 meters), altitude sickness can hit. Headache, nausea, and breathlessness are early signs. If symptoms appear, descend immediately. Do not push through.
Stay hydrated and well-fed. You lose more water than you realize in cold, dry air. Drink at least 3-4 liters of water per day. Eat high-calorie snacks (dry fruits, chocolates, energy bars) throughout the trek.
Check weather before you go. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) website provides weather forecasts for hill stations. If heavy snowfall is predicted, postpone your trek. Getting caught in a snowstorm above 3,000 meters is not an adventure, it is a risk to your life. Please take a sensible call for yourself and your loved ones waiting for your safe return.
Mobile network: Expect limited or no mobile network on most of these treks. BSNL has the best coverage in Uttarakhand hills. Jio works in some areas. Airtel is patchy. Always inform someone about your trekking plan and expected return date.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which is the easiest winter trek in India for beginners?
Deoriatal in Uttarakhand is the easiest winter trek for beginners. It is only 3-4 km one way from Sari village, reaches a moderate altitude of 2,450 meters, and can be done in a single day. The trail is well-marked and not very steep. Bijli Mahadev in Himachal is equally easy and can be done as a day hike from Kullu.
Is it safe to trek in Uttarakhand and Himachal in winter?
Yes, winter trekking in Uttarakhand and Himachal is safe if you follow basic precautions. Always trek with a local guide, carry proper winter gear, check weather forecasts before starting, and do not trek solo. The easy treks listed in this guide are well-established routes with relatively low risk when done responsibly.
What is the best time for winter trekking in the Himalayas?
December to February is the best time for winter trekking in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh. December offers the first fresh snowfall. January has the coldest temperatures and deepest snow. February starts warming up with stable weather. For frozen lakes (like Prashar), January is ideal. For summit treks (like Kedarkantha), December to March all work well.
How much does a winter trek cost per person in 2026?
A short weekend winter trek (Triund, Prashar Lake, Deoriatal) costs Rs 2,000 to Rs 5,000 per person including transport from Delhi, food, and basic stay. Multi-day treks (Kedarkantha, Har Ki Dun) with organized groups cost Rs 5,000 to Rs 12,000 per person from the base camp, which includes camping, food, and guide fees.
Do I need a guide for winter treks in Uttarakhand and Himachal?
I strongly recommend hiring a local guide for any winter trek, even easy ones. Snow can obscure trail markers, weather changes quickly in winter, and a local guide knows the terrain, safe campsites, and escape routes. For multi-day treks like Har Ki Dun and Kedarkantha, a guide is practically essential. For short treks like Deoriatal or Bijli Mahadev, you can manage without a guide if you have some trekking experience.
Can I do winter treks with my family and kids?
Yes, the shorter treks on this list are family-friendly. Deoriatal (3-4 km one way), Bijli Mahadev (3-4 km one way), and even Prashar Lake are suitable for families with children aged 8 and above. However, dress your kids in proper layers and waterproof shoes, and keep the pace comfortable. Multi-day treks like Har Ki Dun and Kedarkantha are not recommended for young children in winter.
Is Kedarkantha trek open in December and January?
Yes, Kedarkantha is open for trekking throughout winter from December to March. In fact, this is the peak season for the trek. December to February offers the best snow conditions with temperatures dropping to -5 to -10 degrees Celsius. The trail is well-marked and multiple trekking organizations operate organized treks during this period. Always check weather conditions before starting and go with a certified trekking group.
What shoes should I wear for a winter trek?
Waterproof trekking shoes with good ankle support and a sturdy sole with deep grooves for grip are essential for winter treks. Avoid sports shoes, sneakers, or any shoe that is not waterproof. Wet feet in sub-zero temperatures can lead to frostbite. I recommend checking the budget-friendly options in my guide on trekking shoes under Rs 5000. Also carry microspikes or snow chains that slip over your shoes for icy sections.

Dileep, go with Chopta – Tungnath – chandrashilla – Deoria tal trek. Refer: Tungnath – Chandrashilla – Chopta – Deoriatal – Most Common Itinerary
Hi Dheeraj,
Tons of appreciation for the countless informative stories and articles on DOW!
Can you please help me decide a 3-4 days budget self trek starting from Delhi in mid of November. I thought of Chopta-Tunganath but isn’t it too mainstream? Would love to spend some time in a not so crowded place. I plan to do it with a friend without any tour operators. Would be engaging the local porters and organizers. Any suggestion/advice is much appreciated.
Thank You
Thank you so much Gaurav 🙂 🙂 … I will suggest Chopta – Tungnath. It is not that main stream I will say as it looks, especially in winter months. Having little company always helps on treks rather having no company but this is my personal preference 🙂 🙂 … Apart from that in case you wish to under take and offbeat trek, then Nag Tibba and Har Ki Dun are other two. You can get connected with porters/local guides in the links mentioned in the article above.
Thank you for the suggestions Dheeraj. Highly appreciate. Nag Tibba was great. Had gone there in mid April. I think i’ll stick to Chopta-Tungnath.
Thank you once again…
I am sure you will have quite a fun on Chopta – Tungnath trek for sure 🙂
I have done kuari pass trek this January with trek the Himalayas and it was one the of the best trekking experience that I have had
Hi Dheeraj,
I am planning to camp at Hatu around 15th April. Can I get a local porter and tent etc. from Narkanda. Do you know anyone whom I can contact for the same. Your guidance will be much helpful.
Regards
Ankur
HiAnkur, You should surely get a local porter but car will go up to the top at Hatu now, so why do you need a porter? Regarding camp, you will need to take your own from Delhi or Shimla.
Hi Dheeraj,
Thanks for your reply. I need a local guy who can provide me camping equipment as I don’t know how to set up a tent.
So just wondering if local guys in Narkanda can help me with the same after paying some amount.
I will be traveling alone.
Regards
Ankur
Hi Ankur,
Well, if you buy a tent like Quechua T2, T3 or even rent them, it will just take 5-10 minutes to learn it. Narkanda will surely have guides or porters around and you can check that from the village OR in the market of Narkanda at restaurants. However, you will not be able to get any renting equipment at Narkanda.
Nice list. Have completed Bijli Mahadev and Parashar Lake. Also, Chandrashila/Tunganth and Deoria Taal.
Triund and Har ki Dun are on my list.
Cool, best wishes for the remaining ones 🙂
