Afghanistan Travel and Tour Guide
Himalayas – where the earth meets the sky.
The Himalayas run through the entire northern part of India, covering five states of India. The term "Himalaya" – a Sanskrit word which means “the Abode of Snow” They have the largest mountain peaks in the world and stretches across six countries in Asia i.e. Bhutan, China, Nepal, India, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The Hindu pilgrim routes, the low valleys that abruptly rise up in high mountain ranges, the lovely trekking routes, densely forested areas lying just a mountain range away from barren cold deserts, and the lovely people of the mountains – these are some of the reasons why people have been so fascinated by the Indian Himalayas.
Himalayas being undoubtedly one of the most spectacular and impressive range in the world, is increasingly becoming the most visited adventure zone of the world.
A trip can be made sporty, adventurous and once-in-a-lifetime travel thrill, uplifting, overpowering by exploring mountain ranges and beautiful valleys especially through trekking.
Trekking tours are more enjoyable than climbing the peaks and offers spectacular scenic beauty.
Trekking is a form of several days hiking or walking through mountainous, rugged or rough areas. It is a sport which most often takes place in beautiful mountain ranges and is one of the most memorable of all vacations and also comparatively less expensive.
It provides an opportunity to be in natural surroundings and to get away from the milling crowds of the cities. The trekker usually returns home rejuvenated, and with new enthusiasm to take up the challenges of city life And in Himalayas, the most beautiful valley on the earth, a trek is nothing short of an unforgettable experience of life.
When trekking in Asia, the hiker gets the opportunity to experience the beauty and uniqueness of the Himalayas
Hiking, trekking and walking are very personal sports that can be done alone or in a group. It is a beautiful way to enjoy nature and experience it to its full extent. Hikers can spend many days walking and camping in the nature. It is also nice to hike in a group of friends so that you can all share the experience together and keep each other company on those beautiful nights spent around the campfire. It is a sport highly recommended for those who love to try new things and appreciate the unique beauty of our surrounding nature. Trekking is also quite a bit more peaceful than most other sports as it can be done alone, or with a small group, right in the heart of nature, away from any cities or even people.
If you are looking to take your trekking up to the next level, it is definitely going to be worth visiting the Himalayas.
It is a lovely way to experience the most beautiful valley of the world,Himalayas and to spend some time appreciating it too.

Trekking poles used for expeditions are generally the lightest and made from the most durable materials, normally a titanium alloy. Most general purpose trekking poles tend to be made from aluminum. There are pros and cons to each type.
Most trekking poles support the same amount of weight and eventually will bend or break. The amount of force needed to bend or break a pole actually isn't all that much and aluminum poles have just about the same chance of being damaged as titanium poles do.
If you are looking for something that will hold up better than any trekking pole, a fiberglass ski pole, (ie. Goode) is worth exploring. Fiberglass poles can take much more abuse, shock, and they will not bend. The drawback is that they are not collapsible. For the most part this is not a serious problem, but it does help to be able to shorten and lengthen poles depending on the steepness of the grade and the type of terrain. They are also a bit heavier than titanium poles.

I'm guessing the terrain in the Himalayas is a little more rough than the rest of Asia so some light boots – Columbia or Camper shoes will do. Something like sneakers but a little more hardy but light!
Yep, trainers will do fine too!! provided it's got good grip..the weather will be getting wet..it's hot and rainy most days besides £105 is too expensive!
You're better off buying good footwear in Asia then it's way cheaper.
Bring Sandals too and don't worry you can get almost anything here for a fraction of the price you'd be paying in £.
