So guys are you ready for the mesmerizing trek experience!!

Before you start there are a few things you need to keep in mind. You need to be little cautious while enjoying your enchanting journey to the majestic and mystic hills

You need to make sure that you are medically fit. Get your medical checkup done few days prior to your journey. Do not take this lightly even if you feel that you are perfectly fine. When going on high altitude trek medical checkup should be the first and foremost priority.

If you suffer from reoccurring ailments like  cold, cough, breathing problem, stomach upset, etc do consult your doctor and take his advise and if he permits do carry your medication.

Do carry an umbrella or raincoat a torch, and a knife. You will definitely require these equipments while on the trail. If possible do carry a first aid kit for any minor injuries.
