Hi so I’ve been wanting to take my two dogs on an offbeat place with me but I don’t really know if it will be a good idea as I’m not sure about the locations, wether there will be lots of street dogs etc. Can someone recommend some places where it’s not too overpopulated with street dogs and hikes or treks that are beginner friendly? (Anywhere near himanchal, safe for women and foreigners😭😭)

Hello!

Hopefully this is okay to post, I am trying to arrange a virtual meetup for lady backpackers this Tuesday. I am an avid backpacker and love connecting with other outdoorsy people. It's been a bit of a rough few months for me. Someone I respect a lot suggested trying to connect more with other backpackers to help bring more positivity to my life. I live in a fairly rural area, so I thought a virtual meetup might be fun!

I have thru-hiked over 10,000 miles (the little dog has thru-hiked 9,000) and go backpacking every month. I also do some freelance gear testing. If you are wanting to build your confidence in the outdoors, I am happy to try to help and answer questions at this meetup. I can also answer questions specific to backpacking with dogs!

If you are interested, the meetup will be this Tuesday from 6-7 pm MDT. It is on Google Meet and you can add it to your calendar with this link: https://calendar.app.google/LdGPEseDn3Xzgkgk6

Just to be 100% clear, this is free and just something I am doing for fun.
