I am not sure if I can make it. Let me share my experiences with YZ so others are encouraged.
YZ that is Young Zingarohs trekking group which have very experienced trekkers. Excellent in handling VIs on the mountains. Their simple techniques still help me when I trek with other groups. I have gone to Tandulvadi, Gorakhgarh, Karnala and Raigarh treks with them. Most exciting was the Gorakhgarh trek. It was a heavenly experience you sticking to the stone side in the air at the thousands feet, clouds passing right in front of your face line, most beautiful, you can experience horizontal rains with your hands, you turning 180 degrees suddenly due to a slippery muck. And it tests your stamina. So do do join in if your sporty, like nature and like a bit of exhaustion.
