Travel Tips from experience travelers and trekkers


What to carry is one of the biggest worry , while we prepare for trekking or adventure or any outing trip.

We have trekked in himalayas extensively be it India, Nepal or Bhutan, with over two decades of travel experience, our advice to fellow travelers is always travel smart, be sensible and keep a low profile. Don't flash money or jewelry around, and stay with your group or travel companion. Practice the “buddy system” and do not wander alone at night. Always pay attention to your surroundings. 

The 8 best Travel tips

#1 - Pack lightly, and only pack what you're willing to carry 

Check your packing list and follow it to the letter. Then, put half of everything away. You don't really need all that stuff, do you? 
We recommend traveling with one lightweight duffle and a backpack. Leave your big, bulky suitcases at home. Instead, carry a small lightweight backpack on your flight to Peru for day trips and hikes in the ancient sites, and a larger duffle as your checked luggage (not to exceed 55 lbs). If you a solo traveler and visiting a local crowded market, wear your backpack across your chest. It will keep your belongings safe from stray hands. Secure with a wire rope and lock when traveling by local trains, jitney's. 

#2 - Layer, Layer, Layer 
Layer clothing for warmth, hat and sunglasses (with good UV protection), pack of pens and journal or sketchbook; money belt with safety pins; zip-lock bags for liquids, a travel alarm and a flashlight are must for any travel across continents. Bring your digital pocket camera and charger. When photographing local people in traditional wear at tourist sites a gratuity is often expected. 

#3 - Book Reservations else keep them hotel numbers handy

When traveling independently and going to to any high traffic tourist areas, be sure to book your entrance tickets and transportation early. We often choose to travel in the "off season", which enables more access to the sites with less tourist activity. If you will be traveling in the high season, be advised that reservations are a must. If you are a budget traveler consider keeping number handy all the time. At the other end of the spectrum, luxury travelers might opt for the early booking to avoid last minute hassel.

#4 - Check Your Documents 
Passports should be renewed or obtained early. Your passport must be valid for (6) months from the date of travel. If it is about to expire you will not be granted entrance to Peru. Check the visa requirements for your destination. Make two copies of your travel documents including air and land itineraries and your passports, and leave one copy with friends or family at home, along with the telephone numbers for contacting you during travel. Keep a copy separate from your other documents. Carry your money, passport, and credit card with you in a money belt, inside your clothing, unless locked in a hotel safe. 
#5 - Don't exchange money in the street 

The streets have many eyes. Use good sense when transacting currency in public, and opt for a currency exchange office or bank whenever possible. Never carry a purse or wallet. For quick purchases, place a few small denomination bills in various pockets. Tuck $100 bill under the insole of your shoe as insurance against theft. Bring one or two credit or debit cards and know your PIN (use 4 digit codes for compatibility with Peru’s ATM’s). Test it before departure. Cash can be obtained at banks worldwide. Be forewarned that some ATM’s have been known to dispense counterfeit bills. Check your currency carefully. Go inside a bank or Currency Exchange office to make a transaction. 

#6 - Consume lot of water

Commercial bottled drinking water is available nearly everywhere. Drink plenty of bottled water when traveling to high altitudes. NEVER drink tap water or use ice cubes made from tap water, as they contain harmful bacteria. 

#7 - Communications 

In order to stay in touch with friends and family back home, internet cafes are the best answer. They abound in all major cities and tourist areas, and charge from $2+ per hour. Some offer wireless for those bringing a laptop. Consider buying a prepaid telephone calling card with service. If you are bringing your cellular telephone, contact your carrier for international rates and service areas. 

#8 - Travel Smart 

Unforeseen circumstances may require that you alter your trip plans. Consider purchasing a trip cancellation policy to cover any non-refundable land and air tickets, including land and air evacuations, and medical costs due to personal or family illnesses. We encourage the purchase of Travelers Insurance policy to provide coverage for unexpected medical expenses, travel cancellation, and travel related emergencies while on a trip. 
Last and best advice is simply to enjoy yourself and keep an open mind. Have a wonderful adventure because in reality it's already begun.

This summer every one wants to go out and chill out with family and friends.

If you are adventure loving, want to try something different and fond of mountains.
then this season Ladakh is a perfect place to visit.
It is not only because of Mountains but also because of awesome weather, nature , wildlife and culture.

Ladakh is a superb place , mostly liked by bike riders, Himalayan CRUZERS ,Adventure sports loving people.

I remember , last year 2014 in the month of August . I was coming back to Jammu from Srinagar. On the way, in between Batote and Patnitop we crossed some RIDERS who were moving towards Srinagar. I talked to them and i found that they had planned a CIRCULAR BIKING TRIP with a map of
chandigarh to jammu, jammu to srinagar, srinagar to leh, leh to manali and finally manali to chandigarh back.

That day , i realized that LADAKH has its own craze for biking and adventure sports. I felt like i also should go and see that valley.

This year i make up my mind. I packed my Bags and ready to CRUZE...

LADAKH I AM COMING !!

Trek to Leh via Lahul-Spiti Jul2006

Hi all,

Finally we were team of 10 trek enthusiast who dared to trek on the high altitude of thin air.
I, Sayak and Tony, we three were from Microsoft and seven of our other team members were from different software company in Bangalore & Delhi.
I build my entire team for this trek through MS- Adventure club and BMC (Bangalore Mountaineering Club). Apart form Tony ( my gym pal) I did not know any one of my team members prior to six months.
Everything was going on the net and emails, right from collecting information about best route for trek in that range, searching and hiring guide, bookings of tickets, hotels, vehicles etc, communication with all team members, till we met just 15 days before the departure. It took me around 5 months to plan everything and prepare a confident team. A team to trek for 8 to 12 hours a day that too in tough cold terrain for 5 days in bad weather and less oxygen, with limited food, water , medicine supply and zero medical or emergency facilities.
We all started as planed on the same route (attached itinerary, trek map), on 27th July and our journey ended on 8th August, for some of us who did not fly back from Leh to Delhi it ended on 10th August.
We completed our trek of 5 days from Batal to Baralacha as plan even with bad weather. It was a true adventure trek, everyday there was new challenging experience.
An unforgettable journey, a memory which will last forever. I am writing a detailed blog, it’s taking bit time;

Free feel to ask for assistance, if you are planning trek in that region.
Thanks and Regards
