From the high Himalaya to the Arabian Sea, the far-eastern frontier, the Satpura plateau and the Thar Desert — 43 off-beat treks led by veterans from Special Forces.
Forty-three routes across eight of India's most extraordinary landscapes — from glaciated Himalayan frontiers to monsoon-drenched Western Ghats and the shores of the Arabian Sea. Each region is a world unto itself.
