Why   Treks in Himalayas Because the Himalaya,  "home of the snows" , is the most impressive system of mountains on the planet, and for centuries the setting for epic feats of exploration and mountain climbing, are a world into themselves. Ascending the heights and being a part of the Himalayan landscape is an experience beyond comparison. Above all trekking in the Himalaya is often a mix of adventure, pleasure and self realisation.

       Gangotri glacier trek Description:   Gomukh is place in Gangotri glacier where the Bhagirathi river originates. Bhagirathi River is also famous as River Ganges. The official river Ganges starts at Devprayag when Bhagirathi river merged with river Alaknanda. The  Gaumukh  is located at at the height of 13,200 fts. Gomukh means "Mouth of a Cow". Gomukh is 18 kms far from  Gangotri  town by walk. The trek is very hard and only a few people dare to reach here, thats why the whole area is still best for nature lovers without pollution. Trekking permit is required to reach Gaumukh which is issued at Uttarkashi. Gangotri is exquisite alpine country. Deodars march in serried ranks and gorges plunge,sliced by the bustling Bhagirathi. The drive will take you past the settlement of Bhairon Ghati and into the single traffic-choked streets of  Gangotri . Here the river is joined by its tributary, the Kedar Ganga, rising in the glacier lak

Annapurna Circuit Trek, Nepal This Himalaya range is situated in central Nepal and is one of the most spectacular trekkings in Nepal. The Annapurna trek reaches 18,000 feet above sea level, but through most of the trek the vegetation is lush. Once you reach the top, ice-capped mountains greet you and it is an extremely serene feeling. The trek  begins in the southeastern town of Besisahar  at 2,690 feet (820m) and ascends to the  highest point, Thorung Pass  at 17,769 feet (5,416m).  It then descends to  Tatopani  at 3,937 feet (1,200m) and peaks again for another ascent to  Poonhill  at 10,499 feet (3,200m).  Thereafter it’s all downhill to  the final town of NayaPui  at 3,510 feet (1,070m). The majority of trekkers hike in this direction, but more adventurous  choose the opposite approach. We didn't encounter much trouble during the h trek as we had a knowledgeable guide who helped us throughout the trek. On every himalaya trekking I take, I ensure that we have
