And here is a guide to the places that will offer you an experience to treasure for a lifetime.

Few night treks you can explore on the most beautiful hilltops in India.

a. Harishchandragadh Trek

Harishchandragad trek is one of the most popular treks in Maharashtra. Much talked about treks amongst the trekkers, this is a trek that defines the level of difficulty as it begins during night and leads to vast plains and dense vegetation that also includes patches of water. This trek is sure to test your endurance, but will also soothe your soul by its charming ambience and surrounding. You do get to rest up a little, inside the caves or in the temple at Harishchandragad before returning in the morning. Definitely one of the treks that you must try once, this will take about 8 hours and is quite challenging.

b. Dhotrey Tonglu Trek

Miles away from the beautiful town of Darjeeling, Tonglu is a-six-hour thrilling trek that you can take at night or even during the day. But, if you want to experience the picturesque view from the Tonglu Top and watch the sun rise, you should take this trek in the night. So, next time if you are in Darjeeling, do opt for this off-beat experience and you will not be disappointed.
