Hello, I have started a project with my partner Honey Sharma. We call it Blue Bolt. Our aim is to facilitate and promote independent travel in Himalayas. Initially we are aiming at solving the problem of independent high altitude trekking. To trek in wilderness for several days one need to carry food, shelter, sleeping system, cooking system, clothings etc. on his own. By using conventional products the total weight of backpack becomes very hard to carry especially at higher altitudes. To make this weight manageable one should opt for light weight equipments. At Blue Bolt we are availing these equipments to the trekkers. In our one of its kind trekking programs in India we are introducing trekkers to these equipments and teaching them how to plan and execute their own independent treks. Lightweight trekking program Take an adventure vacation to Himalayas and enjoy high-altitude trekking on some of the less traveled trails while learning the art of lightweight trekking! After this program, you will get confidence to do treks on your own without porters, mules and support staff. You will come to know the pleasure and necessity of doing treks on your own. Highlights >Average pack weight will 9 – 10 kgs (includes food, water, fuel, group and personal gear) >No porters or mules or support staff >Max enrollment is limited to 6 people >Participants – Facilitator ratio 3:1 >Hike in small groups on less traveled trails and experience the pristine beauty of Himalayas >Using a specialized curriculum we’ll pare down gear and shave weight wherever possible >Learn to stay warm and dry with minimal equipment >Master one-pot cooking over a butane stove using dehydrated food >Introduction to trip planning and navigation For more information, visit: http://www.bluebolt.in If you like what we are doing, help us in our cause by share our website with your friends. Looking forward to your feedback and comments. “What makes this enterprise difficult but also riveting, is that independent exploration is a story and you don’t know where the story will lead but what you do know is that the story is about you.”
