      Hi there,
      
      You have copied and pasted and thinly rewritten a lot of text from other sources. Here's one of them:
      
      https://www.moxtain.com/trekking/kedarkantha
      
      This is not allowed. Writing must be original. Your article has probably been rejected because it has tripped the duplicate content filter.
      
      Photos must be attributed and carry the correct licence. You can't take them off the web without permission, One of yours is clearly watermarked.
      
      It would be helpful if you would tell your reader about your own experience on this trek - what the realities of it are. The problems, the good stuff, etc. While the facts are important and necessary, readers like to know how it went for you. What equipment did you find was essential?It's really important when writing travel articles that you include your own experience, good and bad. And, as a travel blogger, you should use your own photos (if they are yours, then say so in the image capsule).
      
      Good luck.

   Thanks a lot for your answer. The link you provided is really not the source but it surely has some resemblance with my content. I have gathered various information from other sources but really did not know about this link. However, as a travel blogger, I think I should write in more detailed and the style should be unique, right? Your answer really helped me to find out a way. Thanks again and good luck.

      As a travel writer, you should be writing about your own experiences, using your own photos and detailing your impressions, otherwise you have no credibility. People want to know how you managed to eat, sleep, what you wore, what equipment you needed.
      
      So good travel articles should comprise of two distinct sections: your experience and the general information that tourists need to know.
      
      Have you actually been on this trek?

         No, I haven't. But anyway, thanks for all your suggestions. I will keep those tips in my mind while writing travel blogs.
