Trek to Roopkund
Hello friendzzzz,
So here I am attempting to write up my first ever blog !! Please wish me loads and loads of luck.
Preparing for Trek
I always wanted to go to the upper Himalayas. Hence after lots of research and advice from friends, I finally managed to zero on Roopkund. Although, after reading through the comments from friends at Orkut, I realised that this will be a difficult trek as all of them gave the impression that it a high altitude trek and a difficult one. But, then me, being a pahadi guy had to venture out and take the challenge.So finally, after hectic rounds of discussion with my boss, I finally got the leave for the entire week of 14th to 18th August, phew that was difficult !!!
This was a high altitude trip, which meant that I also had to arrange for the equipment. Hence, I checked at Orkut and then finally hired Sleeping bags, rucksack and carrimat from India Mountaineering Federation (IMF) for which I had to deposit Rs 8,500. The daily hire charges are very cheap at around Rs 15-20 per day. For those who do not know, IMF is right on a narrow road which head upwards near the main South Campus gate.
