The thing is; we're going to have some amazing time trekking along beautiful meadows bursting with an abundance of growth, sipping ice-cold water alongside leeches from freshwater streams, climbing out of dark dwindling mysterious forests giving way to terrific stretches of grasslands and soak ourselves in the untamed beauty of the western ghats
Seems like an adventure right? Hell yeah, it is!
So join us when we go on a trekking date to negotiate slopes, discover our fitness quotient, brush our master chef skills and also share silence not just chats while witnessing mornings and evenings on a hilltop surrounded by mesmerizing views of mother nature.
