If you have children ensure that the trek has pony or porter support or is easy enough for your kid to do. Look at the number of trekking days involved and the number of days it will take you to get to and from your starting point. In the Sahyadris and in South India getting to the starting point is easy and fast. In the Himalayas it is different and getting to the beginning of the trek can be an adventure in itself. If you are a first timer hiker in the Himalayas and are going with the family it may be a good idea to go to Mussoorie or Shimla ,spend a couple of days doing gentle walks and day hikes so that your body gets used to walking four to five hours a day and then do one of the overnight or two-day treks.Finally the nature of your trek will depend upon your budget.

For the uninitiated, buying off plan means buying the artist's impression. While your property will be the exact size, shape and layout as described in the brochure, you won't know the exact situation until your home is completed. If you don't like it, it's too late to back out of the contract. On that basis alone, I would counsel against an off plan purchase, but there are even stronger reasons for avoiding off plan at the moment.

Spain, like most of the world, is going through a recession. Builders, even those established for 20 years or more, are going down the pan and taking purchasers' deposits with them. Even builders who are remaining in business are scaling down their building programmes due to cash flow problems. So you may have to rent another place in Spain until your home is ready. Or you may be forced to move into an urbanisation where the communal grounds and swimming pool have not been completed due to shortage of funds on the builder's part.
When things will improve is anybody's guess. Unless you must have a brand new home - in which case, opt for key ready - go for a resale property. Be careful out there!
