Since 2003, every summer we have trekked or at least tried to trek. Tried as in we went trekking but could not complete the Markha Valley Trek in Ladakh, as I took ill.
In the summer of 2003 it was Saar Pass
In the summer of 2004 it was Har Ki Doon
In the summer of 2005 it was the unfinished trek in Ladakh
In the summer of 2006 it was Kuari Pass
In the summer of 2007 it was Spiti
So, of course, I feel quite like a fish out of water as I am not sure whether I will be able to trek this summer or not. I mean there could be some work related travel (but this one is with a big ‘maybe’). Of course, my family merrily told me that if I am not coming they are trekking on their own and anyway my nephews are much better trekkers than me, Sesha only likes to think so! I am keeping my figures crossed. I mean I don’t know which one I want more.
Happy trekking! 🙂
Lets hope you get to.Nice picture there. Haven’t made it to Ladakh yet despite much dreaming and planning; hoping to realize it this year.
Arun, I am sure you will see a lot of places this year, including Ladakh.Sidhu, I hope so, I do hope so.
A good count! All these are in my list of ‘101 places to trek, before I die’. But, I’m yet to embrace the mighty Himalayas…
huh, you arent trekking? wait a minute maybe i didn’t hear it. you are home this summer?? 🙁
Don’t worry, I feel you’ll somehow manage a weeks time in between, for a trek :)Mk
Akhila, I feel you get spoiled after trekking in Himalayas, at least that is the case with us. We do not wish to go anywhere else!Priyank, no if I do not trek it would be because I may travel for *work*.Madhukar, I need two weeks to do a good trek but let us see.
Im sure you will get to ..that diary seems impressive
Thanks backpakker.
I read and re-read some of your trekking experiences and had a good time doing so. Thanks for sharing these post with those lovely pictures. 🙂
Indica, thanks a lot for reading them. So which one did you liked most 🙂
I liked best the narration of HKD and photographs of Kuari Pass.
Indica, thanks a lot for following up on the comment. And I agree the Kuari pass pictures are beautiful even though they are from a point and shoot. I will have to look at the narration of HKD again 🙂
I’m planning a trek in the Garhwal region in August. Most likely would be VoF, but if there are landslides enroute (as expected in the rainy season in the region), I might then choose another destination. Yea, do read HKD again and I’m sure that would make you more determined to set out on another trek. 🙂
