Sleeping in the jungle has to be a unforgettable experience @naruto100.

Yes it was quite unique experience that we will never forget. It was kind of mix feeling at that time, as few people were exciting about that night and few were getting scared because it was jungle so we could have face wild animal. Though we were around 15 people so I don't think there was any risk of wild animals and also we have camp fired so yes we spend whole night by chatting with each other.

That is why the fire is so important, and the fact that you could make it certainly scared the animals away. At the same time, it's also important to eat and rest well so that we have full energy for the next day because if we wake up exhausted in the middle of the jungle, we might be in trouble.

I have hiked to Annapurna base camp, which takes 12 days if you manage to walk 7-8 hours in a day. When you are going for Annapurna base camp trek, you will have to carry your own supplies because eateries and shops are rare in this route. Annapurna Base Camp trek is one of the popular trekking routes in the world. Every year thousands of people from different parts of the world trek on this route.
Walking for hours for 12 days might sound very frustrating, however, it is an experience of life time.
