Julley Everyone,
A fresh new morning over here as a perfect weekend and why not to start this weekend with a hike that I truly love, hiking the mountains and climbing and exploring few of the most beautiful and hidden spots in the nature. So was this beautiful Day out here today in the Himalayas that the perfect moment I wanted to share it with you guys through this post, so the journey looked something like this started driving all the way near about 7 AM from our hometown near Manali somewhere before 15 km before Manali closer to a place called Patlikuhal and drove all the way to the last trail that went to the Shilla Village.
The drive all the way to till the last end of the trail it was that it took near about one hour from the place. Since we started the journey and the whole landscapes looked so beautiful and so magical, and there was a lot of altitude gain since we were driving off all the way and until we reached at this particular place, we were totally in a mood of hiking and climbing the mountain, so we came up with the preparation and just thinking about that where we could hike, so we started hiking and finding few of the trails just no plans, but it was all about exploring the beautiful hidden locations and just out of random like a nomad, explore the beautiful locations over here.
So it was particularly the moment when the road at this particular place just ended and moreover I would say it was not like that that we could just drive more beyond the last village. The condition of the road. It was so hard to drive even a 4 x 4 vehicle.
So we decided to take the 4 x 4 of road trail and also make our way that I would say Shortcuts just climbing the mountain through these old trails that the people used to take when going to higher places, the higher altitude locations over here in this particular mountain, closer to village Hallan.
The pine cone.
There were these countless number of trees that looked identical to pine, but were the himalayan Deo Dar trees and few of them, even ranging more than 500 years old being more than 100+ feet in height. It truly used to take a lot of years to grow for us like this. Everything felt so peaceful, so was the wind and the breeze so chilly over here, the snow just freshly melted at this place just few days before, and it truly felt so beautiful and so fresh and so peaceful over here, the atmosphere, and the oxygen that we can breathe, just felt so beautiful and the calmness of the forest.
So we Parked vehicle at a point where we thought that going beyond was a risky task, so we were taking that just went all the way through until we reached at the end point of the location and that that Iām gonna share with you guys through this post and take you guys along with me to this beautiful journey over here in these beautiful hidden locations of Himalayas, the places unknown just known by the nearby villages around.
The place where the local park their vehicle as going beyond, there was the trail and also a fallen tree that fell on the ground due to Harsh climatic conditions and extreme wind that made the tree to fall down on the road and made the blockage on the road.
It had been near about 25 minutes since we started a journey hiking at certain points, taking shortcuts and certain points also ending up in the road. Also, the condition of the road it looks so harsh as there were these feet, deep pits and ups and downs all the way in the road.
As we were getting further, and further, it felt like that the trail was getting narrow and narrower.
The fallen tree.
There was this huge tree that was fallen on the ground, making the blockage on the road and even just passing through the tree was a risky task as it was quite huge. So we made all the way chopped few of the woods, few of the branches so that we can make our way chopping through with the local Axe like this called Darat.
Making our way through.
There was the hole. I was not sure about that why and how it was created, but moreover it felt like that in the winter season when the whole place it used to get covered under a thick sheet of snow, arranging more than 4 to 5 feet and it used to be the way that the snow would melt, causing such a deep canal like structure on the trail.
A selfie of me over here, we have been hiking for about 1 1/2 hour until we reached at this place and we thought not to take a rest as to also enjoy the beautiful views. We were currently at an altitude of more than 3000 m above the sea level and still going on, we decided to go all the way to the top of the mountain so that we could see these beautiful views of the valley, and I will be sharing much more moments with you guys in my upcoming posts, but till now, even this was our first stop that I would say to take rest and just eat a bit of a snack so that we can hike more and not less than energy to hike.
Till this beautiful spot, a meadow like place that looked a bit plain followed by the beautiful views around the place, and also it was the moment where we spotted the first snow that was on the ground, and it felt like that now we have hi for quite a lot of altitude and reached at a place and beyond this, it used to be, and it would be the snowy area on the shader side.
We relaxed at the place for quite a lot of time. Enjoy the views it a good meal and now going beyond the place so until now it was the journey that looked something just like this. A quick hike around the place beyond the last trails. Do let me know my friends, the photographs you like the most in the comment section, and I would love to hear it from you. I have captured all of these photographs using my Apple iPhone 12 and the gear that I have used to measure the altitude is my Apple Watch that I have been using for hiking from the past few months and other adventure activities.
So that's all for today guys, I hope you liked it.
Thanks for your precious time. š
Love from the Himalayas. ā¤ļø
