The most talked about trek in the country. A trek that everyone aspires to take no matter how cliched it gets and for good reasons. There are 2 significant points that drive people towards this trek, them being:
- How easy the trek is (relatively). The trek is relatively easier when compared to some of the other treks like Tunganath or Kheerganga. But a trek is inherently accompanied by some level of difficulty.
- The serene views along the route, at the top and the government’s efforts to ensure that the place maintains its natural beauty. There are strict laws like plastic declaration and you need to bring down all the plastic that you take up.
Sure, the place has become crowded over the years but it still holds the same beauty and majestic charm to it. Once you reach the top, there is this wall of snow-capped mountain on the opposite side of the ridge. One can only sit in awe as they gaze at the majestic mountains.
The trek isn’t really that tiring or hard, for the first 5-6 km or so. You find plenty of shops all along the route after almost every half kilometer. You should keep yourself hydrated all along the journey and eat light as the trek is not really that straightforward and you might feel uneasiness if there’s too much inside you. Make sure you stop at some spots while walking just to admire the sheer beauty of the journey.
But once you reach the last stretch of around 1km, you’ll be faced some challenging terrain, you will be out of breath at quick intervals. But at this point, you must remember that it is all part of the journey and something amazing awaits you at the top. I will share various details of the journey and how to undertake it, how much it costs in other posts. For now, enjoy these scenic photos of the trek.
