Trek to Dainkund Peak

Image
I have been an active, sporty and an adventurous guy throughout my life. Although I did not have time in my initial twenties to explore the world as much as I would have liked. Too much pressure of medical studies. However, I left no stone unturned once I passed out of my medical college. I started exploring like crazy whenever I could and my life partner is my best travel companion.  I have always loved trekking and its my dream to trek to the Mount Everest . However I think this dream of mine has to wait. I , however have had my share of trekking experiences. The most recent has been trek to the Dainkund Peak, Dalhousie. Its important to learn the do’s and don’ts of trekking beforehand so that you are fully prepared. Dainkund Peak is the highest peak in the Dalhousie region. I visited in January end. That time it was supposed to be covered with snow all over. But the phenomena of gobal warming seems to have capsized the world. It was not as cold as it was suppos...

The campaign was a roaring success as more than 2 lakh messages were collected both online and offline. This shows the spirit of our fellow Indians for our brave heart soldiers. We rarely get any chance to express how grateful we are, or ...

WHAT MAKE US TO TRAVEL

Image
INDIA is a country of 1.25 billion people, a large land, with periodic weather change and diversity. You get every thing here at the same place.... the snow clad mountain in the north, to the great sandy desert in the west, beautiful Indian ocean in the south to the deep sea in the west and east of peninsula. Earlier most of our vacations were to the religious places. We were not travellers in true sense, but things have changed in the past few years. With advent of social networks the world has shrunk. The middle class of India has opened up more for travelling and lucrative offers from the tour and travel agencies have added spice to it. WHAT MAKES A MODERN INDIAN TRAVEL MORE THAN THAT IN THE PAST: BUSINESS TOURS..... Ever since the Indian market opened to the foreign investors, there was a storm of multi national companies in Indian. Most of these MNCs have their head office abroad, and regional offices in the Indian metro cities.This made travellin...
