A sample of each day during trek
Every trekking day starts with a wake up call by the kitchen boy from tent
to tent by leaving a bucket of water hot/cold for wash ups. Morning tea/coffee
as per the clients wish will be served. After a while breakfast will be served.
At the same time the guides starts dismounting the tents and porters start
packing up. The trek usually starts everyday after breakfast at around 7.00
am. Mostly the Sr. Tour Leader will be leading the group in case of a big
group, guides accompany the scattered group members supporting even from the
backside of the caravan.
Every client is free to walk at his/her own speed. Speed is not a problem.
Even a delay of 2-3 hrs to the camping sites is usually for some slow walkers.
But guides are always with them for necessary support.
There is no hurry in the trek, leisurely walk is the feature of trekking
in Indian Himalayas looking around the country side and taking photographs
etc. By the time, it is mid day, on reaching the camp site our kitchen comes
up ready to serve hot lunch by the cooking team who usually arrives before
the rest of the group. Or packed lunch where ever not possible.
The break for lunch last for one hour and we start for afternoon trek usually
shorter than morning. The moment the group starts arriving at the camping
site usually fixed in the outskirt of the villages, the cooking team start
preparing tea/coffee, by the time tea/coffee is served with snacks like biscuit
and cookies, the guide with help of the porters start mounting the tents etc.
Under the guidance of the cook the kitchen staff start cooking dinner - the
major meal of the day which will be served at around 7.00 p.m.
After dinner a camp fire cum traditional cultural programme wherever possible
and discussing the next days journey with Sr. Tour Leader with some feedback
from the clients. As trekking is undoubtedly a team work, day to day discussion
help ensure full co-ordination between the guests and the crew so as to make
the trek a most enjoyable and memorable one.
