MY WANDERLUST : A tribute to Himalayas, India


I have a deep love for the hills and my relationship with Himachal Pradesh is extremely special. Here nature is delightful and individuals are peace loving. Himachal Pradesh is situated in the western Himalayas. Surrounded by grand mountains, out of which some still test humankind to conquer them.

This is a short post about my travel and stay in Himachal Pradesh (India).  I was there for a long time of seven years (July 2005 to June 2014), but my last two years were very different. I meet many spiritual souls, learnt about life & myself, loaded with encounters, full of experiences, a different enthusiasm and complete bliss. When you go to the mountains, you see them and you appreciate them. One might say, they give you a test, and you attempt to express that test by climbing them. I've walked a lot in Himalyas. From my experience I can say that, as you go to new valley, as you go to another landscape, you have a different view every time. If you stop, the landscape doesn't as a matter of course let you know how huge it is. It doesn't generally let you know what you're looking at. The minute you begin to move the mountain begins to move.

When I look back now, I see plenty of memories to smile, to cherish, to celebrate and to enjoy. Somehow I found a different me, a new me, with a different thought process and one who is now associated with God and nature. I see this time as a learning phase of my life and all credit goes to the people I meet, through my travel experiences and of course my girl NUMB. Life was very different when I completed my graduation, my approach towards things was different. It was my job which gave me the opportunity to travel and explore more. Life was very exciting in the beginning, I was a free soul with open wings and it gave me many opportunities to constantly improve myself.

Himachal is famous for its abundant natural beauty and it is also known as the "God's land". The attractions in Himachal Pradesh are more. Trekking, mountaineering, angling, skiing, white water rafting and para gliding are some of the adventurous sports available here. I love to visit the Holy places more and HP has much more to offer you when it comes to religious places.

 Around Himachal one can find lots of places to explore. Some are well connected by road and remaining can be reached by feet. I suggest that if one wants to see real beauty he/she should opt for trekking. You can have short treks of 1, 2, 3 days and long treks are also available at different difficulty levels. When you go for trekking you meet many people of different culture, different religion and from different parts of the world. You share a cup of tea, your thoughts and for me it was a wonderful experience to be with unknown people.

On the way to Kamrunaag, Himachal Pradesh (May, 2014)

My experience taught me to respect nature, to enjoy nature, appreciate every little thing about nature and stay connected with nature. You know guys, only if we respect nature then only nature will respect us, otherwise one another day nature will take over us. So we all should always try to save our mother Earth, no matter whatever way we choose. The only factor which counts is our first step, so have faith friends. Everything is possible, we just have to take a step and then God will guide us.

One of the most amazing thing happens to me was my girl NUMB. We have been in a relationship since 2008 and we found a true companion in each other. After graduation we fall into long distance relationship so I never got a chance to go for trek with her. She is an amazing soul, a beauty with brain, with full of love. For me, it’s tough and impossible to find a partner like her, so I don't want to lose her in any condition. But one can’t control every situations in this life and nowadays we both are struggling to make our life smooth again. But still we both are giving our best to maintain everything. I believe that there is an approach to manage everything that emerges in our lives, we may need to figure out how but there is a way.

I have recently moved to Pune, Maharashtra (India) for my higher studies and going back to those mountains is my dream. I thanks to life for giving me this time to witness the true beauty of mother Earth and to learn from it. Mountains were at one time my big adventure however is over since quite a while, regardless I dream from the awesome days sometimes, read likewise a couple blogs from travel blogs. But the thought of doing again trekking has blurred. But I see a change in me, now I feel more complete, a very different person what I was in my graduation. A diligent improvement will make an internal and external prosperity that places harmony in one's life. The improvement of life is one of the steps to inner peace. Making thing less difficult has unquestionably brought a lot of inner peace to my life. If you see there is a considerable negative energy and wildness in this world, yet we can all figure out how to live with inner peace. Acknowledgment of others, their looks, their practices, their convictions, present to you inner peace and serenity rather than outrage and hatred. It can be achieved just when we practice forgiveness. Absolution is letting go of the past, and is in this way the methods for rectifying our misperceptions.

Discovering things you appreciate or adore doing is essentially to explore life. To be interested and give things a try and see what you consider them. This can bring numerous bits of knowledge both about yourself and about how things truly are the point at which you do them as opposed to when they are just speculations floating around in your mind.

I learned inner peace is not a goal that must be accomplished, it is an inclination, a feeling, a way that must be lived throughout your life journey.
