TREK THE HIMALAYS - THE FINALE.

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Natures peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. the winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy.

                         This picture is forever embedded in our hearts, like the mountains are calling us.

 DAY -5  LAST DAY OF THE TREK

Happiness is waking up with a view of snow around you, with the sweet calls of birds, with the rays of sun falling on the tents and with the gush of windy breeze.

This might be the last day of our beautiful adventure but I am so sure that this is just the beginning of many more to come ahead. I am so in awe of this feeling with nature that I am just looking ahead with every kind of adventure .

The protocol of our day was 

7:00 a.m wake up/ tea time

8:00 a.m breakfast

9:00a.m trek

by 12-1:00 a.m we reach our base came SANKRI

It is not the mountain we conquer , but ourselves.

The aroma of tea and the breeze is so serene that we can never get over it . We had one of the most delicious breakfast of aloo puri ,satiated our stomach and got ready to descend . Today we didn't require our spikes and gaiters as it was going to be a muddy and rocky trail .

In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.

TTH usually takes a path that is not covered by anyone else so its a path with absolutely no one other than our team and it was just so peaceful. We were enjoying every bit and part of it ,where our trek guides were showing us the different kinds of trees and flowers enroute and making us aware how this beautiful snow cladded mountain looks in the summers with flowers all along. We could see gigantic trees all the way and the roots of trees all over the grounds and walking through those trees and roots we feel we are a small particle in this gigantic ocean . We started listening  to some music which Deepak bhaiya was playing and it was just so perfectly blending with the nature , it was like we were meditating on this journey of ours.

They always say we need to climb mountains with full gears and safety and we now end up saying you should meet our vijay aka mallya bhaiya who always leads the group ,who walks on mountains with his sneaker and hands in pockets ,it is like he is going for a morning walk.

The trails of forest with roots of trees 

I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery , air, mountains, trees, people. I thought this is what it is to be happy.

There were one or two maggie points where we did stop and took our breaks , kept removing each layer of clothing as we were descending coz now we didn't feel all that cold . We had nice two three  bumpy falls as we were trying to balance ourselves . Holding on to each other supporting one another slowly we were descending  and for a change I am not the last one this time to descend. On our way down we were deciding on what we would be doing for the rest of the day and then we 6 of us decide that we would head back to Rishikesh that very day and another group of 13 members too decide that they to would head back to Dehradun that very day. Many people do decide on staying in as they are still not able to get out of that stance that they are in,.

As we descend we come across apple farms many schools colleges and houses and one among those house was one of our trek guides Manu bhaiyas . We wave out to the kids and chit chat with our trek guides.

We reach our base camp , freshen up a little and our trek leaders call us to distribute our certificates. We all clap for one another and leave the place with happy faces and most beautiful memories of lifetime.

I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.

AFTER CLIMBING A GREAT MOUNTAIN. ONE ONLY FINDS THAT THERE ARE MANY MORE MOUNTAINS TO CLIMB.

A BIG CHEERS TO OUR TREK GUIDES VIJAY BHAIYA MANU BHAIYA AND DEEPAK BHAIYA AND TO TTH GROUP FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE.
