Venkatesh Allu couldn’t believe his luck when he got chosen as a winner of Tripoto’s #TripotoTakeMeToHamptaPass contest! Indiahikes sponsored his trek in September 2016. It was going to be his first solo trip. All the arrangements had to made, tickets booked, hotels reserved, travel to the base camp planned. Everything on his own. Boy did he learn the rough side of solo trekking!

Here is an excerpt from the blog.

We have parents telling us to work hard and find good jobs. We have teachers telling us to study hard and get good grades. We have bosses directing our careers. We have girlfriends/boyfriends swaying our decisions. We have society creating a mould and constantly pressuring us to fit into it. With all these voices in our head, our decisions are so heavily influenced that it’s impossible to figure out what we truly want.” Read more
