of woolen socks. The shoes should be used before treks to avoid blisters.

energy.

The Mountaineering
And Trekking Division of GMVN has well maintained
stock of equipment, alpine tents, hollow filled sleeping
bags, hollow filled jackets, wind-proof jactets, wind-proof
trousers, ground sheets / mattresses, Snow goggles
and rucksacks.
Trekking is very often confused with mountaineering, whilst mountaineering is a
preplanned affair, trekking does not require as much preparation.
Mountaineering is more technical in nature and is quite hazardous and this is
not so in the case of trekking.
