Trek with Best friend

My best friend and I wanted to set out on an adventure and decided to trek to Triund. This was our very first trekking experience and I'm so glad that I booked through Banbanjara. Our guide Raman was extremely hospitable patient and knowledgeable. We were the only ones to set up camp right at the top where the view was majestic. They made us very comfortable with clean tents and blankets. Served us hot tea on arrival,piping hot dinner at night and breakfast the following day.They even made us a bonfire to keep us warm when the temperature dropped at night. The sunrise and sunset views were worth the steep climb. The last kilometer to the top was tricky but we were under the able guidance of Raman who motivated us and kept us in high

It was my first moderate trek in the rain. Some would say the rainy season is not good for trekking but we loved the weather. The movement of clouds over the mountains, and intermittent exposure to rain and sun made the view so clear when the clouds were gone It was mesmerizing.

Excellent

The trek was pretty good; yeah the number of people was quite lesser yet we enjoyed it to the fullest. Il went there without any experience but returned with some beautiful tales of the Himalayas. Banbanjara had arranged everything nicely, mainly the members of the Operation Department have guided and helped me a lot, from bookings to inquiries and similarly the during-trek queries.
