Hello and greetings to everyone. Do you guys love tracking?I'm here to share my experience of visiting the nearest forest from my village Jhalta. It was an three hours track and my village comes under district Shimla,Himachal Pradesh. It's a cold place where average temperature in summers is 15 degree and below zero in winter.
Covered by woods all around, my village is situated in lap of nature.
On November 12th, I and my friend were talking about the forest around my village and decided to explore it more and more possible.
On 13th November it was little cloudy and perfect weather for tracking.We started our journey early in the morning nearly 7:30. Keeping our important things such a water bottle, food and fruits in our bags we started our journey towards woods .
As I have already gone there 2-3times with my father, I knew each and every shortcuts and path very clearly.
With in half an hour we reached at a spot away from village where functions and fairs related to our God and Goddess ,Devta Maharaj used to happen early and the place is called Balli.
The one on the right is temple and the another one is a small resthouse for villagers. This place is surrounded by apple orchards and devdar trees.
Moving forward we reached at fields where people of my village grow vegetables in an organic way. Most people of my village grow fruits and vegetables by their own in fields and buy very little from market. Organic vegetables are healthy and that's the only secret of fitness of villagers.
This cloudy day was perfect for tracking , you'll must go on tracking sometimes. It helps to improve your mental and physical health.
After covering our one third path we took rest between the woods near stored water pond for 15 minutes and had some fruits.
It was an amazing place and it's the rain water which is stored here. Those who live here use this water for irrigation in their fields.
Then we entered in a dence wood where birds were singing, lots of insects were crawling that I have rarely seen before.
And then finally we reached at top from where you wants to capture everything you see, in your eyes.
It feels so good to look everything from the top. The mountains were right in front of me all covered with clouds looking so amazing. I can't take my eyes off from them and it was too cold because of the freezing wind.
I took all these pictures from my phone samsung galaxy S21 ultra. Look how beautiful it is!! If this is not called Haven then I don't know what haven is.
Overall it was an amazing experience for me, the journey was fun with my friends and refreshing too.
Nothing is above Nature and God is such a wonderful artist.
Thank you for reading this post
Lots of love.
