Julley Everyone,
A new day and starting it out with another adventure. So was this beautiful day out here today in the Himalayas my friends, my hometown Manali as when I was in Delhi. I always used to think about that when I will be getting time from my work from my office and job so that I can Escape the weekend and climb the mountains and so was this beautiful weekend out here today my friends where I finally got the chance and opportunity that I would say to go back to my hometown and now finally it was this beautiful day out here today in the Himalayas where I got a chance to climb this mountain unknown. Usually the mountain has no name but the locations they seem so beautiful and just made it all the way a perfect morning hike!
So we started the journey somewhere near about 7 AM from my hometown closer to Patlikuhal Manali, and now we made it all the way to the nearby location called Katrain and at the top of the place there was this beautiful mountain where I got to know about the ridge that just went all the way to the top of the location and beyond so I started my hike and in just near about four hours, I made it all the way somewhere at the first meadow location.
Also, it was the beginning of the first snow that I saw on the ground all the way across the trails as it was the shade side of the mountain.
The Snow Ridge
Until this particular time where it was the portion of the jungle, the portion of the woods where we reached at this particular location. As there was this, a narrow ridge kind of location that we had to cross, and there was this vast ground of the snow. that was a kind of shared location that made the snow still present, causing less sunlight to be at the place.
It felt so peaceful and so beautiful just walking over the ridge, literally enjoying the whole moment. The sun was just right over our head, so was the beautiful blue sky and few of the clouds in eight followed by the dense forest and the snow at one side and the other Side being dry and we were walking over there Is every thing was so quiet so peaceful and so beautiful and every thing looks so natural and so fresh all together in just a single frame.
Also, as we were hiking, by and currently we were above the altitude of near about 2700 m about the sea level and still going on as once after another, there was this never ending chain of higher and higher mountains all together.
The only way that I could figure out the location it was that when I went home again after my expedition after my hike through these photographs, I was now clearly able to see that where I was at the location so somewhere so far away closer to the river Beas along the highway that went to Manali, here is a quick drawing that I have drawn some, but not exactly, but it is kinda of rough related to the beginning of my adventure depicting the starting point.
A photograph of me standing closer to the ridge like structure over here, when we climb a bit for a while, and reached at a higher altitude location from where we can see the view around.
Finding myself in the place where I belong the mountains.
It was just the perfect time when the sunlight was a shimmering over the snow and ourselves and also the trees around making it the most lively moment of the day. I would say as even though it was the peak afternoon over here, but still the freshness that even the ground was getting through direct sunlight it was that every thing brought a new life in it.
The Footprints unknown.
When we reached at the higher ground, then it was the moment about why not to go closer to the snow, and let's enjoy so we just made it all the way through the steep slope, and now we were closer to the snow, but the thing that I noticed it was that at certain point, I saw just at certain point few strange foot prints, footsteps and I was not sure about that what type of animal it was as they were just only at a certain point and also beyond when I saw.
I literally had no idea about my friends. Do let me know in the comment section. If you had any idea about such foodI literally had no idea about my friends. Do let me know in the comment section. If you had any idea about such food, foot prints or footsteps. As it looked kind of strange to me, when I saw them for the first time, but ignoring it and letting our adventure not stop, we decided to go more and further away...
At certain point, there was very thin sheet of snow but as we were going closer to, it was getting more and more and even at the top it was more than 2 feet as it was all in a slope.
We were also carrying the traditional himalayan local Axe to what we call Darat.
The sunlight in the sun rays, they were shimmering over the snow, just causing this beautiful effect and also followed by the shade of the trees and footsteps and at certain point, the snow melting, it was just a perfect moment. Just literally look like the sand in a desert but now it was not sand but snow depicting the other nature of the nature itself.
The Tree on the Rock
In just no time when we just made it all the way beyond this was the main highlight of the adventure that I saw today. There was this huge rock over which there was this big grown tree that was grown through this splited rock. Into 2/2 and underneath which there was this huge ground tree the art of the nature.
Thanks for your precious time. 🙏
Love from the Himalayas. ❤️
