Chopta-Tungnath Trek with Go4Explore was all about creating some unforgettable moments with 20+ friendly strangers, and stuffing my backpack full of memories on the way home. I travelled solo, and as this was my first solo trip, I was filled with fears of my own. However, as soon as I entered my bus, I knew that even though I was travelling solo, I wasn't alone. My happy co-travellers welcomed me with smiling faces, and I am happy to have met them all in this one little life. A BEEEEG token of gratitude to our trek captains, Mr Shivam and Mr Ishan. The two cordial individuals ensured taking care of everyone's comfort, were knowledgeable of their work, and made my solo travel really comfortable. They were fun to be with and talk to! Bonfires brought us all closer, leading us to share some unique stories, experiences, and dance moves, with each other. There were adequate facilities in our tents: clean toilets with water supply, solar lights, aloo-puri and pakodas, and chai, chai, and chai (and, a couple of dogs guarding us against the monkeys there ?) Considering that we were staying in a village meant to be challenging and force us out of our comfort zones, I don't feel the need to complain about the lack of any luxury.
In a nutshell, I cannot thank Go4Explore enough for making my first-ever solo travel experience so thrilling, so adventurous, and so unforgettable. To all the strangers I had never met before, some of my best 'forever's' belong to you all. ❤️ Once again, thank you Go4Explore team, and a special shoutout to Shivam sir and Ishan sir. ?
Until our paths cross again, all the best to everyone! ?️?
