trekkers are issuing caution before the summer trekking season begins
Ever since the lockdown was relaxed in May, trekking activities around the city have slowly resumed. However, with recent leopard sightings and forest fires, trekkers are being warned about making summer plans.
In the last few days,
forest fires have been reported from
Nandi hill ranges and Basadi Betta, two of the favourite trekking spots for Bengalureans. G Raj, a regular trekker said, “Recently, forest fires have been reported in Nandi hill ranges, especially at Horagina Betta, which is where many trekkers prefer to go. We had recently planned a trek to Horagina Betta but had to abort at the last minute, after being alerted of a forest fire. We then decided to go towards Nandi instead, and upon reaching we could see burnt trees along the path
Trail IV yet to catch attention of trekkers
Islamabad
January 30, 2021
Islamabad : The recently inaugurated Trail IV is steadily attracting attention of the trekkers because many of them still love to trek already popular trails developed in the recent years.
Asad Chaudhry, a trekker, said “The number of trekkers is too low on Trail IV and I think most of them are still not aware about its natural beauty and serene environment.” He said: “The people who are using popular tracks like Trail III and Trail V will not easily change their trekking spots. But I believe anyone who would give a chance to Trail IV he would certainly come back there to enjoy a wonderful trekking experience.”
