Namaste š
I hope you all are doing great!
Today, Iām gonna take you guys to a very beautiful destination. A place which is necessary in between the himalayan ranges and offers the most stunning views of the surrounding mountains. This is a place where a lot of people come to witness the life snowfall and also to witness the Tranquility of the Himalayas. The place Iām talking about is Koksar.
Just 15 km from the Atal tunnel northern portal, there is a beautiful village called Koksar. This village is entry point to the most famous destinations that are the Rohtang Pass and the Spiti Valley. There is one Police check Post here and also several houses.
We started moving towards the Spiti Valley and took the road less taken, and all we saw our beautiful mountains and broken roads. Devaaan, some adventure enthusiast like us biking on that road, as you can see the photographs as well. This was on and off a really beautiful vibe.
Seeing me taking picture of the bikers, they got really excited, and they even posed for me as you can see in the photograph below. It was a really beautiful moment for both of us.
Sun was shining, really bright here, and the weather was as clear and pollution free as it can be. I kept the Windows down of my vehicle as we were moving ahead, and I really love the mountain air that was striking on my head.
We were at about 3000 m of altitude above sea level, and the vegetation was quite different. As you can see. The trees were really small to compensate the weight of snow that falls on them each winters.
These trees were of Shargal as we call them in the local language and at this time, the autumn season was going on here, so the forest of the shargal tree was looking fabulous with a lot of colours and a lot of shades of yellow and orange as you can see in the photographs.
The road was quite opposite to the beauty of this place, as it was completely broken and shattered. They rightly say that beautiful destinations are beyond the broken roads and this place truly justify that statement.
It was around 12 in the afternoon, and the temperature was as perfect is as it can be. The sun was right in front of us, and it was giving us the right amount of that we needed to cross this beautiful road.
We saw this forest for about 2-3 km before it got really near to us. Travelling a couple kilometres in this road took a really long time because the roads condition was not at all good and we had another 60 km of travel left, so we were wondering how we would be doing that.
But as we were all together and we had our spirits high, and also we had a lot of time left for the day, so we knew that we will be making it to the destination safely and capturing a lot of stories for you guys to see.
That is all for today.
Peace ā®ļø
