About this trip

The Aravalli hills ringing Gurugram hide some of the easiest sunrise adventures near Delhi NCR. This isn't one long trip but five short, standalone treks to pick from depending on your crew's fitness level and how far you want to drive: a beginner-friendly lake and ridge walk, the region's most popular leopard-country trail, a quiet forest hidden gem, a wildlife sanctuary route, and an easy family-friendly trail near Sohna. Most groups meet before sunrise, finish the trek by mid-morning, and are back in Gurugram in time for lunch.

Trip highlights

✓ Five standalone sunrise treks to choose from, each under 5 hours door to door

✓ Leopard Trail Trek is the most popular pick for first-timers
