5 Tips For Women Starting Their Journey

It is said Travel is the best teacher and probably one of the few things that get us closer to connecting with nature.

Exploring the depths of the earth, nature and its marvelous creations is a great way to re-invent yourself and your value systems. Activities like mountaineering make for a thrilling adventure that helps us build this soul connection.

Mountaineering is nothing less than a spiritual experience but requires intensive training and practice. As one of the most difficult adventure sports, mountaineering is challenging as one needs to learn how to adapt to different climatic conditions and at the same time survive to reach the mountain peak.

"I like to believe that travel and adventure do not have to be gender stereotyped. There is nothing about mountaineering that a man can do and a woman cannot. Yes, the fact is that we don't see as much woman participation as we do from men but that is rapidly changing as more women are keen to explore new challenges." shares ace mountaineer Gayatri Mohanty.
