Blistering heat, brutal heatwaves, and extreme temperatures-the Indian summer, besides the usual fun and frolic, can be harsh and unforgiving too. If you are looking for an adventurous escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life, mountains are a perfect gateway-and the country is blessed with some of the loftiest peaks in the world. Summer is also the best time to appreciate the gallant mountains in all their glory. As the snow melts on the upper range, the pristine, snow-clad trails morph into a lush green landscape, brimming with sprightly wildflowers and scenic lakes. To experience the wilderness, what's better than trekking your way up through the rugged terrains, delightfully green terrains, and possibly the frozen landscapes?
IS TREKKING FOR EVERYONE?
Attuned to life within the confines of the four walls of the home and your office, it's only obvious to feel a sense of discomfort at the very thought of spending days ascending to the rocky terrain of the mountains. Yet, it's not as challenging as you might think. You don't have to be an expert mountaineer; you should be just fit enough to walk several miles on foot. "For your first trek, it's better to start with the route whose difficulty rating is easy to moderate," says Abhishek Singh, a 25-year-old seafarer and a seasoned Himalayan trekker. "If you don't have any health conditions or lead a sedentary lifestyle, a basic fitness routine is enough to see you through the summit," he adds.
