July 2010 - Trek to Mount Torna

It was my first day in college. I had come with huge hopes. Studies, adventure. Finally I could do those things that I always wanted to do. It was a very enthusiastic day. I met a lot of new poeple, made new friends, enjoyed the lectures, and kept answering people who were eager to know how I had that plaster in my right hand. It was a fracture incurred while playing football.

It was the day when our Class Representative announced a trek to Mount Torna coming Saturday, organised by Adventure Pulse. Of course I really wanted to go, as I had this thirst for adventure and exploration deep within and had never been to a trek before, I coudnt miss the opportunity. I asked the CR whether i could come along, who enquired and told me I wont be able to due to my fracture. But after a day I somehow spoke to Rachit Arora, the dude who was organising the trek at our college on behalf of Adventure Pulse. The final outcome was that I could go ! Next day I paid the money and yes it was.

Comes Saturday,we met in front of college gates, waited for the bus and hopped in.

Then we started our ride ...

We reached a village called 'VINZER'. We had a quick breifing and had the tea and breakfast that the Adventure Pulse guys had arranged for us.

The time had finally come when we started climbing. 

The climb to Torna wasnt such an easy climb, specially being my first time. The terrain was mostly sandy, wet and rocky. I kept climbing with my classmates, clicking snaps, enjoying the way around. People started getting tired ..
