KEDARKANTHA
My first Himalayan Trek – 12500ft!

I have been trekking in the Sahyadri’s from the last 11 years and
have trekked over 25+ forts till date including Kalsubai - the
highest fort in Maharashtra. So, trekking into the Himalayas was
always in my bucket list and big dream from a long time. My
dream came true this year in the month February 2022.
Day 1:
We stayed at our While I was randomly going through
base village camp, some trekking websites, I came across
Gaichwangaon India Hikes organization and really liked
their prospectus and their overall trek
plan and the experience that they had
promised to give on the trek.
I immediately shared this with my close
friends and asked them whether they
were interested to join me for the trek.
Since the expenditure was a bit more
for this trek, most of my friends backed
out. But I had already made my
decision about going for the trek and
hence immediately enrolled myself for
it. After a couple of days, 2 of my friends
showed interest for the trek and they
too got themselves enrolled.
This is when our journey began for one
of the most challenging and
adventurous treks of our lifetime. For 40
days, we trained by running 5 kms daily
and exercising and thus prepared
ourselves for the trek.
