I'll be in India from early Sept to mid Oct. I'm looking for trek recommendations in northern India, probably around Ladakh, HP or Uttranchal. Preferred landscape includes snow-capped mountains, glaciers, lakes, and ideally green hills. Something like this would be perfect.
And can I rent tent, sleeping bags and other camping gears at nearby towns? Can I rent pack animals to carry my stuff? Many thanks.
Treks in northern India?

Re: Treks in northern India?
Kulu-Manali-Rotng-Pass are very popular amongst the backpacking trekkers.
There is pin parvati pass, and Gangotri which is a famous pilgrimage place for many indians. The mussorrie area near Dehradun is start of another popular trek. And on the other side in East India - Darjeeling
Hope this gets you started.

Are you looking to do it independently or with a small group? Here's a couple that might at least give you ideas of where to go, even if you prefer to go on your own.

Re: Treks in northern India?
It sounds like you're looking for treks further north than this, but I did a quick 4-day trek to Indrahar Pass (4,330 meters) from Mcleod Ganj last year. There was a glacier, but it wasn't massive. The trail was developed by goat herders. Me and a Swiss guy hired a guide/porter through an agency in town. Authentic North Face sleeping bags and quality tents/mats were inclusive. The food they cooked for us was some of the best I had in all of India.
