A couple of friends, Simran Khot and Maya Pohani, set out on the Hampta pass trek to revive their sense of adventure.

The path was steep and difficult but our spirits were high and we hiked our way through in about two hours cutting through thick forests, apple orchards and some endearing villages. We found a clearing among the dense forests where we had dinner and rested our weary bones for the night. I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the sleeping bag.
