Saddle Peak, Andaman

02-12-2019 | 1 days | Moderate

Hampta Pass II

17-10-2014 | None days | Difficult


Four years after our first trek across this pass, we were back with no support other than 2 guides. Was fun, but exhausting carrying all our stuff, cooking and putting up tents ourselves. Best thing was the solitude with no other groups around us.

Second time on this trail. A delayed start this time meant we did it over two days, staying for the night at Vellagavi village.

A days climb to meesapulimala near Munnar.

Stok Kangri

14-07-2013 | 7 days | Difficult

Top Station

26-09-2012 | 2 days | Moderate


A climb along the route of the old ropeway used to bring tea from top station to the plains. Starting at Kurangani, we sweated our way up to top station in the heat. Nice campsite at the top and a hairy climb down.

Bali Pass

16-05-2012 | 7 days | Moderate


May turned out a little early for this. Lot of snow at the pass, a bridge washed away in rains ... Finally we had to change plans to reaching the pass instead of crossing it and fell short of this too by a few hundred meters.

Kumbakarai to Kodaikanal

19-03-2012 | 1 days | Moderate


Climbing up all the way from Kumbakarai to Kodaikanal in one day in hot conditions made this difficult.

Roopkund

01-06-2011 | 7 days | Easy


A trek to the mysterious skeleton lake partly spoilt by a deceitful guide. But variety of terrain on the way with cedar forests, alpine meadows and snow covered mountains. Also probably the trek with most flora and fauna - mainly rhododendron and birds.

Gutherayan

29-01-2011 | 2 days | Easy


Camping at the highest peak in the region.

Hampta Pass

19-09-2010 | 7 days | Moderate


My first trek in the Himalayas. Actually the first camping trek for most of us. Not knowing how to pack, we struggled to carry our heavy backpacks and sleeping bags. To top it all, we didnt have enough protection against rain and crossed the pass soaked and freezing. So it was exhausting, but memorable and amazing too, and got us hooked to the Himalayas.
