Top 5 beginner friendly summer treks in India

Treks

India is very popular among the trekkers as it gives endless opportunities to explore hidden and uncover the most beautiful destinations one can get on their holidays. So, here is the list of the best 3 treks one can go this summer. However, it was not easy to select the best 3 summer treks as every trek is perfect and beautiful in its own way. But these 3 treks are those which you should not miss, and everyone should go for these treks at least once in their lifetime.

Here are the best 3 beginner-friendly summer treks in India –

1. Ali Bedni Bugyal

Did you ever think or imagine an endless expanse of pristine green meadows all around you? Like you are surrounded by some of the tallest Himalayan peaks! Isn’t it fascinating?

Ali bedni bugyal is a summer trek in Uttarakhand, India. The trek begins from a scenic Himalayan village known as Lohajung. Then trekkers make their way onto Didina (a small place). It’s a long day journey that awaits us, as the trekking route is steep and will require every bit of energy, but after completing the journey, you will realize that your efforts would be as rewarded as you would get to camp out amidst the mountains.

As it is a summer trek, that’s why the best time to go for this adventure (Ali-Bedni Bugyal Trek) would be in summers, in months of April-May-June, when the meadows are in full greenery, and this is the time when beautiful wildflowers grow, and you will see flora & fauna everywhere.

2. Har Ki Dun Trek

Har ki Dun trek is another very famous trek of Uttarakhand, and it’s actually a little different from all other treks. If you go deep to know more about this place, you will find that this place is rich with the historical and cultural significance of the place. It is also said by the locals here that it is the land of Duryodhana from Mahabharat, who remains to be the locally worshipped god here till date. The village, places and the whole route capture a very scenic insight of a different world as compared to what you’ve seen in your daily life.

The locals of this place believe that Har ki Dun valley (village) is the same route that Pandavas took in order to reach Heaven, and therefore, it is popularly known as the ‘Valley of Gods’. Also, when you will be trekking here, you will find there a mountain peak known as Swargarohini, and the subsequent valley is known as the ‘Stairway to Heaven’, which may intrigue you if you’re a Led Zepplin fan. Isn’t it fascinating? I find that too!

This trek is suitable for any beginner as it is not very difficult to accomplish and also for those who prove to be exciting for even an experienced trekker. The Har ki Dun trek difficulty is considered from easy to moderate, and it also provides an excellent overall experience as a speaking being a trekker. The best time to visit Har ki Dun valley trek is during summers (April, May, Mid-June) and also after the monsoon season ends.

This valley is famous for its orchids and rhododendrons, which are unique and specially grown in this region. Flora and fauna mixed with the rich culture and immense historical importance secure its position among top contenders in the list of best treks in Uttrakhand. And one another thing about this trek is that you can opt for this trek with ruinsara tal, which makes this trek more amazing and thrilling. Har ki dun ruinsara tal trek would be the best option any trekker can get because ruinsara tal is very famous for its panoramic views, and the vibes of it will definitely release all your tension & stress. You’ll find peace and serenity here as it is not very crowded, and if you are coming from the city and wanted a break from the hustle-bustle life of yours, then you should definitely go for Har ki dun trek with ruinsara tal.

3. Sar Pass Trek

The second trek on our list is the Sar Pass Trek. It is one of the most popular treks in the months of summer (May and June especially), and you can do it while you’re in Himachal, Pradesh. Sar pass trek starting point is near to Parvati Valley, and it’s a beautiful offbeat valley near Kasol, Himachal Pradesh in India. So, if you are planning to visit Himachal Pradesh anytime soon this summer then you might want to go for an adventure trek as well and sar pass trek will be your best option.

This Trek starts from the Grahan village, which is a beautiful village in Himachal Pradesh, and it is surrounded by exotic Rhododendrons trees all around the village.

An interesting thing you might want to know about the Sar Pass trek is that it’s a mountain ridge rather than being an actual pass. The most scenic site is when you will be trekking there will be a spot come across you, and you’ll see that the mighty Parvati river flows alongside it, which makes the experience even more thrilling.

To enjoy the best and fullest of Sar Pass Trek, you need to choose the months correctly. And in my opinion, the best time to go on this adventure is during April and May. You will find thick snow, and when you reach the highest altitude, you see the weather of Sar Pass is at its best.

Thyroid Tumor Surgery in Cats

thyroid

Did you know that pussycats can have a hyperactive thyroid gland? Also known as hyperthyroidism, it’s a fairly common condition in aged pussycats. In fact, the vast maturity of affected pussycats is aged than 10 times of age. Utmost of the time, the reason is either a benign excrescence or benign blowup of the thyroid gland.

What’s hyperthyroidism? 

Hyperthyroidism is when thyroid glands work overtime and produce too important thyroid hormones. Because this hormone controls numerous organs, it can lead to multiple consequences 

  • Weight loss, despite an increase in appetite 
  • Vomiting and/ or diarrhea 
  • Perverse or aggressive geste 
  • Increased drinking and urination 
  • Increased heart rate 
  • A heart murmur
  • Poor hair fleece
  • Increased Exertion 

Sometimes, a tubby settee potato kitty with gorgeous hair may turn into a skinny old cat with a rough hair fleece, running around the house like a maniac.  

How is hyperthyroidism diagnosed? 

Since some of the signs of hyperthyroidism can be analogous to other conditions, it’s important to perform a full workup. This starts with a thorough physical test. A small bump on the thyroid can frequently be felt by your veterinarian.

 Blood work, including the dimension of the thyroid hormone position, is the coming logical step. The increased metabolic rate of hyperthyroidism can hide order issues and beget heart complications, so both should be covered ahead and after treatment has been started. This requires blood work, X-rays, and ultrasound. 

How is hyperthyroidism treated?

There are several treatment options

Methimazole is a drug that fights hyperthyroidism. It’s generally given by mouth, every single day. Methimazole can also be compounded into a cream that is applied to the skin or the observance daily (transdermal operation). This is a life-long treatment. 

I know about at least one special diet that’s veritably low in iodine and was introduced many times ago. However, this is the only food your cat should eat for good results If your veterinarian recommends this option. 

Veterinary endocrinologists consider IV radioactive iodine treatment as the gold standard for hyperthyroidism. 

Surgery to remove the excrescence is an option, although it’s slower and less common. It’s a delicate surgery but in good hands, it’s largely successful. 

 What are the pitfalls of thyroid surgery?

In addition to the pitfalls of anesthesia ( see common anesthesia myths then), one of the main pitfalls of surgery is damage or accidental junking of the parathyroid glands. There are two parathyroid glands on each side one inside each thyroid gland, and one just outside of each thyroid gland. When we remove the thyroid gland, we remove the “ internal” parathyroid gland. However, also we remove both internal parathyroid glands If we remove both thyroid glands. So there are only two external parathyroid glands left. However, along with a large thyroid mass, or if they’re damaged during surgery, If they’re removed accidentally. 

 As a consequence, the cat may have a complication called hypocalcemia, which means that the calcium situations in the blood sluice are dangerous low

What specifics are demanded after thyroid surgery?

Besides the usual pain specifics and antibiotics, hypocalcemia ( low calcium) needs to be managed if it develops. This is generally done by giving calcium supplements and/ or vitamin D. Their tablets are sluggishly phased over time as the body sluggishly takes over. In addition, calcium is handed once the cat eats enough food.

What’s the outgrowth of hyperthyroidism treatment?

Thyroid cancer (adenocarcinoma) is an aggressive excrescence but thankfully veritably rare. The outgrowth for that’s generally poor.

Benign excrescences (adenomas) and benign blowups of the thyroid gland are much more common and have a much better outgrowth. Still, the outgrowth also depends on whether complications do with the feathers or the heart. Utmost pussycats live times after the original opinion.

As with any complaint, the sooner you address it, the further options you have and the better the outcome. However, please see your veterinarian as soon as possible, If your cat is acting out of feathers in any way.

Mug Warmer

Coffee Mug Warmer

However, if you’re getting ready in the morning or you get distracted easily, it doesn’t take long for your coffee to slowly get freezing cold–and nobody likes that. The great news is that you don’t have to keep drinking cold coffee. We’ve collected a list of some of the most effective mug warmers to keep your cup of coffee warm for as long as possible. A nice mug warmer will make sipping your hot tea or coffee a more enjoyable experience. If you’re a person who likes to slowly sip their coffee as they get ready in the mornings, or if you need a way to keep your tea or coffee warm while working at the office. When enjoying a delicious cup of coffee in the morning, it’s nice to sip it while it’s still warm.

Tea Mug Warmer
Coffee Mug Warmer

What is Coffee Mug Warmer?

A mug warmer is a small desktop device that works similar to the way electric kettles do. Functionally, a Tea or coffee mug warmer is a tiny hot plate that sits on your desk and heats the bottom of your cup to keep the liquid inside hot. A good mug warmer will keep your drink warm without exacerbating unpleasant flavors via scorching. But it’s important to remember that, due to the inevitable effects of oxidation and the way these drinks break down chemically over time, there’s no way to completely preserve the body and flavor of freshly brewed coffee or tea.

Most coffee mug warmers are electric, allowing you to plug them into a wall socket or a USB port.
First off, because they’re simple yet nifty little tools that won’t only make you feel fancy when you use them, but will also make sipping your coffee a lot more relaxed. And Keeping Our Coffee (and Tea) Hot.

All coffee mug warmers aim to maintain a specific beverage temperature, according to what the company deems ideal for drinking; most of the warmers we researched and tested claimed to target a range between 120 °F and 155 °F (though in practice none could achieve a temperature above 145 °F). In our own testing, we found the ideal range to be between 130 °F and 140 °F. Any colder tasted lukewarm, and any hotter made sipping uncomfortable. Of course, your own preference may differ.

How does it work?

Tea Mug warmers use heating coils in the same way electric kettles do. Once plugged in and switched on (most have an on/off switch on the side), electricity flows to a small heating coil built inside the device. A mug warmer works by using the simple properties of heat transfer and thermal energy. If we look at the temperature on a microscopic scale, a material with higher thermal energy just means the molecules in that material have high kinetic energy and are moving around much faster than molecules in a cooler material.

The molecules in a hot cup of coffee, for instance, are moving faster than the molecules in a cold cup of coffee. As the molecules collide, some of that energy transfers, warming up the cooler molecules and cooling down the hotter molecules in a process known as conduction. When you put your cool hands against a warm cup of coffee or tea, your hands will eventually get warmer because heat is transferring from the cup to your skin. So the mug warmer’s coils transfer heat to the base of the mug warmer, and once you place a cup onto the device, the heat from the base will transfer to the cup and the liquid within.
