Advantages of Trekking in India
 A robust Heart:
Trekking is a great bet for those who wish to keep their hearts healthy and agile.
Especially while on India trekking tour, make sure to not miss our on mountain trekking
( consider Himalayan trekking sites like Zanskar and Nubra valley treks) which is
strenuous and requires much effort. Since, while trekking, a person has to climb up and
down which makes heart pump blood with vigour, so in a way, trekking is also a great
way to provide much needed exercise for the heart.

11.  Cleansing of Lungs:
India trekking tours are an excellent way to inhale clean air. Most trekking tours are
organized away from human population which automatically means that the flora would
bear little impact of human activities and the area would have extensive vegetation that
would keep the air cleaner.
 Stronger Bones:
Trekking requires optimum effort from human body, as it requires stretching, jumping,
climbing and dodging at several intervals.
Such small burst of exercises at regular
intervals during trekking would help make bones stronger. Not just that, while trekking
or hiking on India trekking tours, it is always a certainty that the trekker would carry
water, bandages, ointments, clothes and other trekking items which would mean
substantial weight on shoulders and spine. If carried properly, then such weight training
would have great impact on bone density thereby achieving overall fitness.
 Agile Muscles:
The one thing that a trekker would surely achieve while on India trekking tour is
excellent muscle strength. The energy and strain that a trekker requires while on India
adventure trekking tours be it on the Himalayas or any other challenging topography,
would undoubtedly lead to exercising of each and every muscle in the body, thus making
body flexible and muscles agile.
 Cool Mind, Excellent Focus:
Trekking requires unhindered concentration, and to do that, a person has to clear his
thoughts and prepare his mind to face topographical challenges. This is especially true for
those trekkers that undertake India trekking tours, as spiritualism is one of India's most
potent touristic draws. It also helps, that most India adventure trekking tours have some
connection or the other with one religion or the other thus helping a trekker feel that
calm that come with such places.
