The Best treks in the Himalayas


Trekking is a passion today. Many of them plan their treks months in advance and some who cannot afford to go on a trek due to the paucity of time or money, still dream about it. India is blessed with many natural hilly and mountainous terrains with the Himalayas being the most splendid and treacherous. We give some famous treks of the Himalayas below:

1.Everest base camp
This is considered to be one of the all-time favourites of all trekkers in the Himalayas. Excellent views of the Everest, a good trail, wonderful tea houses to stay in and uninterrupted views of some of the tallest peaks in the world will keep your attention during what is meant to be an 11-day trek.

2.Poon hill and Annapurna base camp.
These are two treks that can either be done separately or together. Like the Everest base camp trek, this one offers a great trail and a fabulous tea house lodging for those looking for a little comfort. If you have just four or five days the trek to Poon Hill is one of the best short treks in the Himalayas and offers fantastic up close views of the Annapurna.

3.Manaslu circuit.
The Manaslu Trek is a 14 to 16-day tea house trek which encircles the world's 8th highest peak. In recent years, the tea houses and trail have been improved, and the trek is becoming an attractive alternative to the Annapurna circuit. This is one of Nepal’s best treks and gets you away from the crowds at the same time.

4.Makalu base camp trek.
It’s a 16-day trek to the base camp of Makalu the world’s 5th tallest peak. Unlike the treks mentioned earlier this is not a tea house trek, and it requires proper organising for camping. The trek starts from 435m and so transverses through a range of environments as it heads up the Barun valley to the Makalu base camp. It’s a real wilderness experience with some of the last remnants of untouched forests and beautiful alpine meadows.

5.Upper Mustang trek.
The Upper Mustang trek highlights the desert beauty and ancient Tibetan cultures of Nepal. The 18-day trek heads north from Jomsom on the far side of the Annapurna range. A special permit is required to enter this area, and the trek needs to be arranged as a combination of the tea house and camping trek. Some of the highlights of this trek include the ancient Forbidden City and the ancient monasteries and caves. #Travel

Crafts from recycled material are fun and easy to make

Recycle! This is the new happening word, and it should be in its right. Given the amount of waste we generate every day, no soon we will be surrounded by garbage everywhere. Reuse and recycle is the keyword today. What is recycling? Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into reusable objects to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, energy usage, air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by decreasing the need for "conventional" waste disposal according to Wikipedia. There are innumerable ways in which you can recycle things which you otherwise throw away. Instead of throwing them out, reuse yogurt cups, cereal boxes, milk jugs, water bottles (and more) to make easy, affordable decorations for your home. Recycling gives you a sense of satisfaction of saving money and getting creative. Here are a few day-to-day things which we tend to throw away which ca

The Rolls Royce Lifestyle- Made of Milk and Honey

Image
Rolls Royce, since its evolution has been a mark of high status and opulence, simply because any middle-class person cannot afford to buy a car that costs 3-5 lac dollars. Well, the rich and luxurious lifestyle comes to those who are lucky and can manage it in a way like Buffet or Gates do! A Villa with a beautiful interior, some German or British made vehicles, classy attire, maids at your call, a yacht in the river, a private jet for foreign travel and a Rolex or a Panerai to adorn your hand; that’s a luxury life. What is it and how? It is about living life - king size, being able to spend on what you want, buying some classy and affluent brands, carrying class in your attitude. Well, it also rests on the brands, if you are a millionaire you wouldn’t want to wear anything less than Louis Vuitton or drive anything less than a Mercedes! It is about others drooling over your richness and your mannerisms. It will all come to you because of your hard work and

Clip that Dungaree Back On!

Image
Dungarees initially started off as a men’s wear. Further when women made themselves equal against men, their fashion statement also got updates with women starting to wear dungarees. Till date, it has been a ‘must’ in every fashion -conscious woman’s wardrobe and is completely worth having. It goes on all kinds of body shapes like apple, pear, and hourglass and so on. All you must check on is the style. Some women look great with shorts styled dungaree, some with long ones and some with skirt styled dungarees.    One of the best combinations is to sport a white plane crop top and a typical light blue, ripped-jeans dungaree. Otherwise sport a shorts-styled black dungaree with a short and bright tube top that will only be visible from the sides. Dungarees are definitely back in fashion and if you haven’t bought one yet, go get it!
