I agree with you although generally speaking you have far better highways in your state. As far we are concerned we have number of super highways coming up in our area but when I look at the toll charges it makes me shiver. For traveling a short distance you have to shell out as much money as the co...

Do you know that Barangaroo is one of the most happening place in Sydney here is something which might impress you and make you interested in Barangaroo. It's all about curated dining, headland park, Barangaroo Reserve and shopping areas. You can have a walk or if you have a deep interest perhaps a ...

That depends on what level they are climbing from sea or what is the difficulty level. In general anything beyond 6000 meter is almost impossible without proper equipment or climbing gear. Climbing higher than that would even require oxygen or breathing support. So I assume that these groups are doi...

It was trip to Leh that we started from Manali. I hope you have already visited Manali so you would know about it. It was the famous trip of Darcha Lamayuru Trekking via Darcha, Palemo, Zanskar, Sumdo, Chumi Napo, Shingo La, Lakham, Kurgiak, Teha, Purni, Ichar, Mune, Padum, Kargil and finally Leh. ...

I have walked for 18 days continually in Leh and Ladakh but that was in the past but I don't think I would be able to repeat that trip now because a trip like that would be too much for me now. I mostly do 2-3 days' trip now in easier but interesting areas with lots of stays on the way. I have just...

Actually what I said was that I would carry anything which is absolutely must and avoid anything which I carry just for the sake of carrying that I may or may not need.

That sounds a nice idea but I am not the one that would not carry anything which is absolutely necessary. I generally go for longer hiking trips or in hilly areas where weight on your bag/back makes a great difference. Oh, yes I can do that if I am going for a professional trip and I have the facil...

I generally spend 2-3 hours for road biking although I am no more a regular on biking lately. I used to go for long rides in the past but I have done that seldom in recent times. I agree that now I have better opportunities and a better bike but due to shortage of time I go for a long biking once in...

My most adventurous and difficult one is still the one I did in Leh and Ladakh a couple of years back. It was middle of the May in 2010 when we decided to take a 4 days trekking trip in Leh from Spituk village to Zinchen then to Yurutse that take 6-7 hours of trekking up Ganda La pass and then down ...
