HARIHAR FORT TREK

This is my first blog where I am sharing an experience of my most memorable trek. So, as a beginner if I do any mistakes to write a blog please give me your feedback.

My life is all about arrivals and departures, I love to roam places because it makes me feel alive always.

We had our breakfast at base , after introduction and briefing we started. Very soon we reached at a temple where you can take rest and there have a kund.

Endurance and Time:-

This trek endurance level is no doubt high and can be covered in a day. Whole trek will take minimum 6-7hrs during monsoon and also depends on trekkers will-power.

The Trek:-

Till the top of the hill ascend and descend both times you have to be very carefully climb, mainly during monsoon season. This hill is the main thrill of this trek . There are more than 100stairs , when you cross that stairs you'll get to see dangerously breathtaking mountain with rocky patches and some cute looks monkeys but not cute by their natures. Once we reached at the top of that mountain we've seen little cisterns and I was starting to show my fishes catching talent and was taking fish spa. :) At the top we spent some times with chatting to each of team member and was exploring around also was taking selfie and group pics.
