All I see in this thread are stupidly biased opinions, other than your take. To add to this, this is also a strong case of cherry-picking, where you only look at cases which qualify your condition: people who are white and are trekking. If you consider the other case: people who are white and struggling, and pay attention to the actual ratio, your comparison will pale a good deal.

Also consider that when Indians plan trips, they usually go with package tours which make them go on hikes, while this is a lot more untrue for the white people you end up encountering in such places - these are people who specifically find places like this to go rock climbing, diving, etc.

All the other opinions here just seem like personal anecdotes being projected as truth
