It was 22km trail in Regional Park of Beigua, which was well-marked with aid stations at key points. I had already hiked through these […]

I was thinking, this trek would be special for sure. Soon munching the cutlets, vadas , drinking tea, we started playing cards. Time passed by, as we keep on […]
