TrekKing

TrekKing is a website developed using PHP, HTML, CSS and Javascript. The website allows users to browse through treks according to their preferences and book treks they like. The site keeps a record of all treks that the user has booked. A confirmation email is sent on successful booking of the trek. A reminder is displayed on the homepage, along with the weather forecast of the place of the trek.
