Being an ardent trekker, I have always enjoyed my time at the Mountains.

Trekking in the Western Ghats, Karnataka, India has been quite an adventure and to be among the lush grasslands is quite a divine experience.

But my first trek to the Himalayas was surreal. I was at a point in my life when I needed to experience anything other than the mundane life which existed in my perception.

It was the 5th day of the Goechala Trek in Sikkim, India when I reached atop a mountain peak. Here is where I saw the majestic mountains glaring at me. This is the moment I felt Life is far more than I what I had though it to be.

Something changed within me, something arose and something became still.

This was the time I knew my Life was taking a leap / a turn!

My subsequent treks in Himalayas have always given me the perception and strength to forget ahead in me life no matter the situation.

Himalayas surely changed my life!
