First Trek in the Himalayas - Har Ki Doon
My first trip to the Himalayas was to Leh and Ladakh, and ever since, I have felt a special connection to the mountains. Their beauty and tranquility always draw me back. In January 2015, during a weekend road trip, we casually talked about visiting the Himalayas. Little did I know that I would end up signing up for an 8-day trek, especially given my fitness level. But life has its surprises. This trek became a reality thanks to Rekha, my fellow trekker, whom I met during a road trip to Coorg the previous year through a mutual friend. With her quiet, thoughtful nature and a way of speaking that leaves a lasting impact. For both of us, this was our first time stepping out of our comfort zones together, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her support throughout the journey. As first-time trekkers, we spent weeks reading blogs, researching various treks, and finally settled on Har Ki Doon with Trek the Himalayas. It seemed like the perfect balance of adventure and challenge for beginners....
