1. Research, Plan and Prepare - You should research and plan the mountain that you are going to and read peoples reviews who have already been there. It'll reduce the chances of miss happenings and will help you in knowing the difficulty of the trek, preparing your schedule, budget, travel and hotel bookings etc. Start preparing your body with 30 minutes workout 15 days before going otherwise; you are going to stay far behind from your friends. 2. Share itinerary with everyone - Make sure everyone in your group knows the route or where you intended to go, how long the distance is etc. So that if for some reason you get separated, you and your friend know where to go. 3. Mind over matter - Hiking is as much of a mental sport as it is a physical one. You have to go into every hike with a good mindset and a positive attitude. I think it is a great way to get past things that you are frustrated about, and it's not good to have any negativity in your mind because t...

Following are the essential things which I feel are you should pack/ check/ buy/ rent before going for trekking: In summer if you are in Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai it's going to be 40 degrees, but in the mountains, it's going to be cold so if its summer you will need to take three warm clothes at least. So first thing, take a - 1. Woollen sweater - it needs to be light, and compact don't take something heavy, and it needs to serve the purpose of keeping you warm. Buy it from Amazon 2. Fleece jacket - Its very light and I don't think it weighs more than 50-60 grams. Its is inexpensive and easily available. Buy it from Amazon 3. Padded jacket - When you are climbing at high altitude, as you go higher it is going to get colder so in the night the temperature could drop around even below 0 degrees. So take a warm padded jacket which will keep you warm and insulated. (Don't miss out on it because it is beneficial if you climb higher). Buy it from Amazon ...

Q - Why is it important to know about Acute Mountain Sickness or Altitude Sickness? A - It is a crucial issue that no high altitude trekker can afford to ignore because it can be fatal/deadly, and it is better to have some information about what can happen to you on 8000+ feet, and ignorance is not bliss. Q - What is Acute Mountain Sickness? And how different it is from Altitude Sickness? How bad can it get? A - Altitude sickness is a broader term, AMS is the first form of altitude sickness, this can develop further into more complicated sickness which is called HACE or HAPE which is High Altitude Cerebral Edema and High Altitude Pulmonary Edema. And how severe it can get? You can die. So it can get very critical, and it can get critical very quickly like in a couple of hours.

Beas River, Manali Q - What capacity of the Rucksack should you go for? Trip length -  are you going out for an overnighter or for a week or more. Weekend (1–3 nights; 35–50 liters)   Efficient packers using newer, less-bulky gear can really keep things light on 1- to 3-night trips by using a pack in this range. fantastic use for weekend trips.  Multi-day (3–5 nights; 50–70 liters)   These are the most popular backpacking packs sold in India, and they’re an excellent choice for warm-weather trips lasting 3 or more days. 50–80 liter packs are also used for extended weekend trips. There would have more compartments to carrying accessories like binoculars, camera, ,map, Books, torch etc.

Beas Kund, Manali Trek How to choose the right trekking shoes? There are 4 things you have to keep in mind before buying a trekking shoe: 1. Good grip: Make sure your shoe has a good grip. Now you can take a look  at the following shoe for example:- there are deep grooves in the sole that shows  the shoe will probably save you from slipping in mountain trail or big boulders. 2. Softness and Flexibility: You need a certain softness in your sole because you will be walking on different kinds of terrain and your shoe need to adapt to the terrain, so you need softness and flexibility in the sole. Now how do you check for that? Take something such as a key or you just need a hard metal and just tap on the sole and listen to the noise, now the sound that it makes should be dull so that it gives you an idea how soft it is if it's too hard your shoes are not going to work. 3. Ankle Support: Probably the most important thing is ankle support, now a lot of runn...
