Phulara Ridge Trek

The Phulara Ridge Trek requires a moderate level of physical fitness and endurance. Participants should be able to walk for several hours a day on uneven terrain, with elevation gain and loss. They should also be accustomed to high altitudes, as the trek reaches a height of over 12,000 feet.

It is also important to have proper gear and clothing for the trek, including sturdy trekking shoes, warm clothing, a raincoat, sunscreen, and a backpack. Trekking poles and a hat or cap are also recommended.

Prior trekking experience is not required, but it is recommended that participants engage in physical activity and training prior to the trek to ensure they are adequately prepared.

On the Phulara Ridge Trek, you can expect to enjoy delicious and healthy meals prepared by experienced cooks. Breakfast typically includes items such as bread toast, poha, upma, besan chilla, aloo paratha, pancakes, etc. Lunch usually consists of pulao, fried rice, rajma (kidney beans), kofta (vegetable balls), kadhi (yogurt-based dish), salad, and pickles. Snacks like pakora (fritters), pasta, and popcorn are also served in the evening along with tea or coffee.

In addition to these meals, it’s also a good idea to carry plenty of chocolates, dry fruits, biscuits, and other snacks for energy while trekking. Dried fruits, seeds, and nuts are great for instant energy boosts while dates and sesame seed-based food are ideal for colder temperatures.
