A MEMORABLE TREKKING TO HIMALAYAS

 

I was always want to trek the Himalayas. So when the opportunity came my way this summer, I jumped over it. It turned out to be the most memorable experience I ever had in my life. The trek was organised by our institute of computer and technology (Haptron) New Delhi. The group had students, teachers, and some parents.

We were informed that the weather in Himalayas is unpredictable -- there could be snow, rain, hailstorm anytime of the year. So we packed three layers of warm clothing, monkey caps, and a poncho to keep us warm.

To get relief from warm days of Delhi we were in the himalyan region in June 2022. We went there by 🚂 train. In the morning we reached there and booked an hotel and took rest. Our trek started in the next morning.

On  Day One  we started trek with himanchal. We went there and enjoyed and went to a temple Baijnath. We took holy bath there in Ravi River. In evening we returned.

On Day Two, we trekked from base camp to Camp 1 which was located at Rihyush Thach (8,800 feet). Mules would carry our luggage from one camp to next one while we just carried a small backpack with water bottle and some light snacks.It was mesmerising to watch the snow clad Himalayan range and beautiful green valley.Reaching Mali Pass (12,500 feet) was the most exciting part of the trek as we reached the top and could play in the snow.

While descending from the top, we camped again. We were struck by the beauty of Kullu valley and the Himalayas.

Then we returned to hotel and went to market for shopping. The market was very beautiful and clean. Its like Delhi's Malls. We enjoyed there. The people's there are of short height and the animals were also furry.

Then On the next day we returned home.

Conclusion :-

Trekking is an experience which teaches you lot of lessons.You realise the importance of team work, physical well being, goal orientation, time management and lot more.It is an enjoyable journey and you feel internally satisfied when you reach the mountain top and take a bow in from of grand Himalayas!Someone rightly said, 'You can take a man out of a mountain but you can't take a mountain out of a man.'

The beautiful memories of grand Himalayas will remain forever itched in my mind!
