Monsoon Treks Emerald-green , the hill beckons, the soft inviting moist grass,
The faithful hum of the lyrical brook, the sudden cascading water-fall
The mynah, the cuckoo, the myrtle�s music, the strains of an iridescent stream.............
Such are the amazing ways of the Monsoons, under whose spell, the Hills vibrate with abundance of life. It is to these Hills, that lesser mortals like us get drawn in droves; year after year. As the monsoons cast their spell on the parched earth, its time for the weekend vagabonds to flutter their wings, pack their sacks & hit the trail.

Climb if you will, but remember that courage and strength are nought  without prudence, and that a momentary negligence may destroy the happiness of a lifetime. Do nothing in haste; look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end.
