Trek Diaries 1..

The beginning
Just packed an air bag for the trek.Packing for a trek is pretty simple where u needn't take bath for a week :) . Then a 24 hr train trip to Delhi which I slept throughout. One of my school friends, Nisha Mohan, came to receive us at the station.She was our guide for the day. We roamed around the markets and malls of Noida.

The next day we met up with other guys of the group n were off to the Babeli base camp which took approximately 18 hours (Due to the Mountainous terrain).

You can't eat a lot on the way due to the meandering path which causes a vommiting sensation.










On the way we had a bad experience of eating at a Dhabha.The guys gave us salad and curd with what we had ordered originally. Then they added around 160 bucks for the salad and curd with the bill. We ended up having a heated exchange with the dhabha guys as the food also wasnt great at all.






The next day morning on the way to base camp, pit stop for b/fast :










Tomorrow the chicks will be all over us



We reached the camp around noon starved to death.We arrived just during the lunch time and went directly to thulp food.The food was great throughout the trek. i don't know why do we get bad food only in our hostels :( . I am learning cooking and found that its not tough at all to cook a decent meal.
















The anti climax after reaching the camp :












Finally they ended up all over eachother! :D
