Bucket-List: European Alps Hiking

 Bucket-List:  European Alps Hiking

Schrecksee, Allgäu, Hochgebirgssee
We, the people to whom travel and hiking comes from the heart are well known of the fact that the European Alps offers a plethora of walks. But we fail to plan often being confused - where to start? This was a subject I was going through for some times and finally after hard research over the topic, I am here to pen down the outcome: The Ultimate Hikers Bucket List, as you can name it, off course. 

 Schrecksee, Allgäu, Hochgebirgssee

Matterhorn Circuit


 In my opinion this circuit, perhaps should be high on the bucket list of any keen walker. Hiking around the Cervin, perhaps the most recognised peak in the Alps and criss-crossing between Italy and Switzerland, this trek circuit is a true walker’s delight with steep ascents,  high pass crossings, besides spectacular views and isolated sections of trails that makes one feel like out there on your own.

Chamonix to Zermatt 

 This route in between Chamonix ( Mont Blanch ) and Zermatt ( Matterhorn ) in a true sense was established by the expert mountaineers, but one can enjoy the magic of the walk all the way along the classic walker's route. Hey you need to be fit enough to enjoy the mind blowing views of 4000m+ peaks such as Zinalrothorn, Weiss horn and Dent Blanche.

Grand Combin Traverse

Sitting in the border of Switzerland and Italy in the Pennine Alps the peak of Grand Combin, is a spectacular mountain, rising above 4314m above sea level. The trails here are so quiet that one can enjoy the peaks and passes almost all to his own self. This is to keep in note that this region ia famous for the St. Bernand dog, which found the fame rescuing travellers traversing the St. Bernand Pass from their base. One can stay one night in the pass to appreciate this historic location.

Dolomites  Walk

The region has a brilliant network of trails that weave between the beautiful villages and every varying vistas. Reinhold Messner, one of the greatest climbers under the universe was inspired by the jagged spires of the "Pale Mountains".

Tour de Monte Rosa
One can call name it one of the best walk in all of Europe - around the highest peak in the Pennine Alps, followed by the second highest in the entire European Alps - the Monte Rosa (4634m). Trek through the amplitheatre of awosome and inspiring 4000m peaks, marvel at the glaciers and appreciate this serious walking challenge in a spectacular alpine setting, following the footsteps of Leonardo da Vinci along ancient mountain trails linking Switzerland to Italy.

Via Ferrate Guided Walk

Have a heads for heights? Experience the Dolomites from the top down thanks to a network of iron ladders and cables. I bet it will be a spectacular activity to remember. And off course no previous climbing experience required.

There's a lot to look forward in 2018, and here are some of the coolest attractions  from family theme parks to excellent museums.  😊😊 Let's check out...... Aerospace Bristol, England Bristol, is the home of Concorde. The supersonic passenger jet was largely developed here, and the UK assembly line was located here and all UK Concordes made their maiden flight from the city’s runway – so the last Concorde ever to be built takes pride of place. In 2017, a new £19 million  state-of-the-art museum  dedicated to Bristol’s airspace heritage opened to the public. Aerospace Bristol Human Tower Museum of Catalonia, Valls, Spain Valls, 65 miles west of Barcelona, is the place of origin of the Catalan tradition of building  castells  – human towers of up to ten stories, with the strongest forming the  pinya , or base.

Oymyakon: Coldest place on Earth!

Recently, in my city, people were very much disappointed with the schools depriving the kids by not giving enough holidays during the much awaited winter break. If you think that’s a matter of concern, come let me introduce you all to Oymyakon’s solitary school that closes only when the temperature falls below -52°C. Obviously the next rapid fire would be “Am I kidding?” It’s been a while now since I have been wishing to visit Oymyakon but the thought of living through the extreme conditions makes me shiver. Located in the eastern Yakutsk region in Russia, also known as the ‘Pole of Cold’,  Oymyakon   valley is the coldest place on Earth ! They say the lowest temperature recorded here was -71.2°C with the average being -50°C. Imagine, coldest, I understand but inhabited, that’s the strange part. Freezing at -52°C | Photo credit: Bolot Bochkarev/askyakutia.com Seriously it’s a matter of wonder for me to think how a population of approxima...

Yea, that's a good news for him and a temporary relief too.  My open letter to you, Sir..... Dear Mr. Nirav Modi You are a busy man, but I hope, you, by this time had managed to see the movie " Ek Tha Tiger ", the blockbuster starring Salman Khan & Katrina Kaif , especially the end part. Huh...it says that Tiger and Joya (respectively the names of the character played by the actors) have been seen in different parts of the world, yet not sure, and intelligence agencies could not trace them. It goes well with you too, Sir. Rumors are there that you are in New York, USA, till today morning there was a fresh assumption that you are in Hong Kong, though all these are not confirmed yet. Wherever you are, stay blessed, yea, I mean it and you to...
