Welcome to TrekLog, my personal "Memory Lane" where I chronicle my adventures and boundless passion for the outdoors! This blog is my space to share all the exhilarating experiences I've had, primarily focusing on the incredible hiking trails and adventure sports I've pursued across the United States and back home in India.
Here, you'll find accounts of everything from my attempts to conquer high-altitude giants like Mt. Rainier and Mt. Shasta to the diverse beauty of national parks like Yosemite and the Grand Canyon, and even local gems like Henry Coe. But it's not just about hiking; I've also pushed my limits with activities like bungee jumping, exploring caves, soaring through the air with paragliding, braving the rapids in river rafting, and even taking the leap with skydiving.
Each post is a piece of my journey, filled with my personal insights, the challenges I faced, and the sheer joy of being out in nature. I aim to bring you along with me, sharing the vivid details and raw emotions of each adventure. My hope is that my experiences, from the demanding ascents to the breathtaking vistas, inspire you to embark on your own explorations. This blog is truly a reflection of my drive to explore, to challenge myself, and to constantly seek the next great outdoor experience.

"The Sherpas have taught me to tread lightly and gently while climbing these magnificent peaks. To climb with humility and respect. And that mountains are not conquered: they simply do or do not allow us to climb them" - Ed Viesturs
