Namaste 🙏
Hope you all are doing great!!!
I am back with another adventurous mountain blog for you guys continuing my journey of exploring unexplored lands above Riyara Village in Himachal Pradesh. If you have been through my previous blog, you must be knowing that we headed out on a trip to unknown. It was not planned trip in which we reached the height of the mountain in just no time. If you haven’t been through my last block, I will highly recommend you guys to go through that one. Also, I will be posting link to that one below.

Cultivated agricultural land @3500m elevation from sea level-
We were not following a particular road trail. We just headed straight up to a place. We didn’t knew existed. We just wanted to climb on a random spot on this mountain, but somehow as destiny had planned, we came across this flat land on top of The Mountain.
As you can see in the photographs, this land is unrealistically plane as compare to the other terrain nearby. This is because we realise that there was also a shed made near this land and that confirmed to us that someone was living up here in The Mountain on his own, growing his own food, and having fun at the same time.
But the amount in which he was cultivating the agriculture here at about 3500 m elevation from sea level. This was not for a single person or single family consumption. It was surely for commercial use, but we wondered that how will the person growing agriculture hair would take his crop to sell as the nearest village was about an hour away, walking distance.
This area was so remote that it takes about an hour to reach here from the nearest village, and we also confirmed that there was no one living in the shed at that time so we assumed that the person growing the vegetables, hair must be travelling up and down from the nearest village or someplace near.
It was such a perfect day to explore the wilderness of this mountain, and the weather was super clear with occasional clouds, covering the sky and giving shade to cool down. Just above this plane area of agricultural land, there was cheap mountain again, and we thought that we would also be climbing on top of this mountain real soon after waiting here for about five minutes.
I also realise that here they were some rock stacks made for the shepherds. As you can see the photographs, the shepherds build their tent on top of these. But at the time we were there, they were no shepherds anyone no person there in this land, we were only two people walking on this beautiful mountain and we wondered that how beautiful it would be to live here for a while away from the hustle of the daily life.
In spite of being summers, here, we could still see snow upon the mountains. These mountains are covered in matter. It is about 6000 tall from the sea level and that is too much considering the terrain here.
I was not able to identify which crop they were trying to grow here. I have captured a photograph of that crop here for you guys to see in close up. Let me know in the comments if you know what is this?
We didn’t find anyone there, so we sat down just to reflect upon the beautiful view that was in front of our eyes. You can see the photograph below what we were able to see. This was one of the most mesmerising views that I have ever seen.
There were some wild crops growing around that were looking so beautiful that it felt like falling on them and forgetting about the world at once, it was a kind of vibe that would love as it was so peaceful here.
I will be continuing my journey of moving forward from here in the next blog, thank you all for passing by.
Peace ☮️
