The 2020 year is filled with a lot of excitement and nervousness. It is like literally living the results of our hard for the last decade. Every year there has been an unprecedented increase in the number of trekkers trekking. Specifically, the solo trekker's count has reached the skies.

With so much water and snow, the life of the Himalayas will flourish in full health and beauty. We guarantee the summer of 2020 will be astounding with immense greenery, the vibrancy of flowers, sounds of chirping birds and roaring animals, and some treks might have a wintery look.

A trekker often visits the Himalayas in the search of catching a glimpse of some giant peaks, exploring the lush green valleys, and sometimes reconnecting with their true selves while being surrounded by the mountains. In quest to gain such an experience, many trekkers seek a trek that offers it all. From being transformative to unforgettable, it should have it all.
We often describe the Himalayas as an epitome of unmatched beauty, but we keep forgetting where that true unmatched beauty truly lies. That magical beauty is not present just in their landscapes, but it also lies in that ever-changing surrounding that we experience on the journey that the mountains offer us.
There is no denying the fact that the Himalayas are home to countless unexplored places that are beautiful beyond our imagination.
There are, and there will be, countless journeys that you will go on throughout your lifetime, but only a few of them are going to stay close to your heart, and one of them will be the ‘Gaumukh Tapovan Trek’. A journey that will not only challenge your body, but it will also touch your soul. This 8-day journey will take you to the Garhwal region of Uttarkashi, where you will experience both adventure and spirituality in the mountains and gain a sense of peace in solitude.
Just like some heartwarming movies you keep rewatching, there are places you hope to visit every once in a while. Those places have their own magic that can’t be expressed in words but can only be felt while being there. So, to give you a similar kind of experience, we have a place to recommend for you all.
Walking on the rugged, unknown terrain of the mountains is one of those few experiences that makes you feel very different yet calming inside. But to achieve that feeling, not only do you have to plan a trip to the mountain, you are also supposed to carry gear and other things that are important for trekking.
Standing at the base of any mountain, while staring at the peak of that mountain. A lot is felt by a trekker, from feeling stunned, admiration, to a quick rush of adrenaline, to scared, and then self-doubting yourself, asking - Can I really do this? When a trekker starts climbing a mountain, it’s not just always about claiming the peak. Often, trekking is more about learning and getting to know the mountains. After getting familiar with the mountains, you start understanding the challenges the mountains carry within themselves, and then you start ascending accordingly.
In general, trekking in the mountains is always categorised as either climbing or walking on the mountain trails. But what a lot of people don’t realise is that with each different grade of expedition, the techniques of climbing and walking on the mountains also change. The thing is that to climb some high grade of mountains, more than basic skills and techniques of climbing are required to learn. In fact, the ‘technical climbing’? It is not just for high-grade level mountain expeditions; this kind of technical knowledge is quite useful even in the easy graded expedition to ensure the safety of the trekker throughout their trek.
Planning a trip is not an easy task, and when it comes to the mountains, a lot of factors need to be considered from a trekker's perspective. And when you are surrounded by all the hustle and bustle of life, planning a trip seems like too much work, right? Well, that’s exactly where trekking companies come into the picture. From booking to planning and ensuring that you receive a once-in-a-lifetime Himalayan experience, they make sure to make all these things happen.
There is one question that every trek leader asks their trekkers when they first meet them: Do they really understand the importance of trekking shoes for their trek? And usually, trekkers answer that they protect their feet, which is true. But do trekking shoes really help your feet in just “protection” and nothing else? Well, that is exactly what our trek leader (name) is going to enlighten us all about. First and foremost, it's essential to understand that trekking shoes are the foundation of a good trekking experience. If you are not carrying good quality shoes, then no matter how confident, strong, or motivated you are. You are bound to slip or slow down while walking on your trek. And as someone who has spent years climbing up and down the Himalayan trail several times. There is one thing that he said with complete certainty: The right trekking shoes can make or break your trek.
