HI Shubham,

I have created a trail org using https://www.salesforce.com/form/signup/freetrial-service/ and see that trail org defaults to Professional edition as you can see in below image
User-added imageAs per https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=networks_enable.htm&type=5 communities are not available in Professional edition Orgs. They are only supported in  Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions.

Hi Swetha, Is it is possible to create an Enterprise edition in which I can use the community on a trial / free basis?

I believe trail+Enterprise is not a possible combination currently. Please consider using a Dev edition org that is almost similar to Enterprise edition.

In case you need an Enterprise edition, you have to reach out to your salesforce account executive for its licensing. Thanks

Ok, thanks for your support, I am not preferring developer edition because of the limited email per day limit and I have to work on email therefore I am looking for an alternative environment.
