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.
