Kedartal Trek - A trek to an emerald, glacial lake of the Gangotri Region

 The most beautiful encounters that one can come across while trekking in Himalayas are the glacial lakes that lie in between the folds of various mighty mountains; it is the snow from these mountains that melt and form crystal clear water bodies which then reflect the surroundings and offer excellent, exquisite views of the valleys. One of the most famous glacial lake treks to exist in India is the kedartal Trek . Kedartal trek is a moderately difficult grade trek with a decent itinerary spanning over 7 days. It is a unique ride it no wilderness with a slightly tricky trail. On the very first day of our expedition we were introduced to a ledge on a rock angled at approximately 60 degrees which set the mood for an upcoming adventurous journey. The stunning, panoramic views of Mt Gangotri, Mt Jogin, Mt Thalaysagar and Mt Bhrigupanth of the Greater Himalayas along with of course the views of the gorgeous and serene Kedartal itself are what attract trekkers from different parts of th...

Two Easy Trekking Expeditions For A Week Trip To The Mountains

  It is ironic how despite innumerable technological advancements, humans still struggle at taking time out for their hobbies and favorite activities. Life has become a meaningless cycle of working hard day and night that only pays off in the form of short-lived material happiness extracting any philosophical meaning that there could be to it. With the world moving supersonic the struggle of taking a break from work life and enjoying the act of living is more real than ever these days. I realized this just recently when I bumped into my friends and asked them to join me on a 15 days long expedition to the Himalayas. I was disappointed to find that none of them could make it to the trip because of their hectic corporate lives, most of them could only take out about a week off for a holiday and that is when I realized how much these short and easy 5 days long expeditions could mean to the world. So if you have been looking out for short trekking expeditions that can be inter...

Two Enthralling Treks To Do In The North East Of India

  When it comes to   trekking   most Indians look up to the North of India for the available options, variety and the potential treks that can meet their specific interests. Rightly so, the North Indian states being wealthy in mountainous terrains do have a lot of amazing trekking expeditions and deals to offer but what is slightly disappointing about the treks in North is the commercialization and overcrowding of trekkers and travelers; most of these spaces are overcrowded with travelers and tourists from around the world and so these regions are tailored to make their stay pleasant and hassle-free. Th e  Indian cinema being obsessed with the Northern Himalayas can be held accountable to an extent for our subconscious choice of running north for our traveling and especially trekking requirements. But let me pop the bubble for you, there is much more to the trekking world beyond the 4 northern states that exist on the tip of your tongue. The North-Eastern region of I...
