To be able to wake up in the lap of nature,is truly a blessing. Our campsite was surrounded with beautiful trees which had fruits like apple,peach, apricots and walnut. On our left was Dhauladhar mountain range and on our right was Pir Panjal mountain range.
On this day each one of us were well layered up as we were heading to Spiti valley keeping our fingers crossed so that we can witness some snow. As the buses arrived,we made ourselves comfortable and played amazing songs. What made me happy was that we could spot some snow but that view came with a price, it was extremely cold there and after few minutes it started raining so we ran into our buses to save ourselves. On that day we also visited Atal Tunnel which is named after our Late Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
You must have noticed these flags in the northern part of India. Sometimes on bikes, bridges,shops,houses,temples and so on. I thought these would be for decoration but I was wrong,one of our instructors told us that these are flags which have some Buddhist shlokas written on them and it is a belief that when these come in contact with air or breeze they help in spreading positivity. I found it quite surprising and amazing!
While returning we also came across Solang valley. All of us were really exhausted after our travel so we had our meals and decided to rest for sometime. Later, in the evening we went near Beas river and did meditation. I couldn’t be more thankful for this experience, the sound of the river filled my soul with serenity. So calming! I felt physically and mentally relaxed.
Luckily,that night we finally got to do bonfire so each one of us prepared something for entertainment like dance,jokes, poetries and songs. We sung and danced the night away and our hearts were heavy because this was going to be our last one,most of us were exhausted but nobody dared to go back to their tents as it was our last night there.
The following day,it was a chaos in our tent as everybody was busy packing bags. We were six people living in one tent,one of us played songs and we danced like crazy… It was so much fun, I cant describe the feeling, it was just wonderful! Then we tried our hands at assembling tents and it was a great learning experience for me.
After our meals we played final game of our trip- Anala Premier League (APL). Our instructors divided us in teams and we played various games. Afterwards we sat on our buses and began our journey to Delhi. I must say it was hard to say goodbye…
In Delhi,as soon as we got dressed we went to Chandni Chowk for some street shopping along with which I also got to see Red Fort for the first time. I visited Delhi for wee hours but I observed that there is so much diversity in the kind of people who live there, there is so much cultural blend. Moreover, on one street I saw Gurudwara, Church and Mosque and after a certain distance,a Buddhist temple.
Then my family picked me up from railway station and I returned home and I must say there is not better feeling than being home and sleeping in my own bed.
