Backpacking

I’d count me as a notably experienced backpacker. Last summer, I spent more than four months on a backpacking trip to various places in India. Before two years I went on my first trekking and backpacking trip in Himachal. I was well prepared for that trip, and I hadn’t really trekked in Himachal before with backpack. I could hardly lift my backpack, it was so heavy, but somehow I did it properly. One of the best things about my first backpacking trip is I met many backpackers we exchange our thoughts on traveling and backpacking. Fortunately I get a chance to stay with them in one place and I learned from their traveling experiences.
