Isn’t it that life gets boring with our regular errands? Isn’t it that sometimes we yearn to do something different, something that we have never tried and gives us a high like never before?

I will give you more options in the next article)
Mountaineering : Towering mountains seem invincible, right? Why not try to conquer them? For beginners, the Friendship Peak in the Beas Kund of Himachal Pradesh is just the right option. It is 5289 m high and requires around 10 days to conquered. Ladakhi (5345 m) is slightly more difficult to climb and is hence good for those who have more stamina. Bhanoti (5645 m) in Kumaon Himalayas in Uttarakhand, Kanchenjunga (8598 m) and Stok Kangri (6153) in Ladakh are other options open for you. While the second last one has a high level of difficulty the last one offers a high chances to be successful.
