Trekking in the Himalayas does not come easy. The perils of foot soreness that comes with it are well known to trekkers. Still I keep hearing from trekkers complain about foot blisters. The sheer neglect (and ignorance) give way to a very painful and unpleasant experience.

Trekking with a blister is not a joke. You got to play footsie with an unforgiving trail with tact.

  1. Hi!

    I have been enjoying your write ups..normally they appear on my WP reader. I just navigated on your blog for old write ups. I’m posting “uncalled” suggestion here in the larger interest!!

    🙂

    I will suggest you to categorize the article under suitable heading (category) and Menu, which will make things easy for other readers. The current theme loads all articles with full posts. To navigate to old articles, it becomes difficult. A menu with listing of categories either on top or side bar will surely help!!

    Apologies for taking this liberty!! 🙂
