Triund - A Treking Journey

-

Henry miller saying “One's destination is never a place, but always a new way of seeing things” had always inspired me to travel and visit places, trekking to Triund was one of the most memorable experience ever, we started our journey from Jalandar, Punjab .We took a night bus till kangra and  we halted there for a night to take the much needed rest.

On the next day we started heading to our next destination i.e Mcleodganj , first we took a bus till Mcleodganj Bus Stand and from there we took a beautiful walk through mixed forests of deodar, oak, and rhododendron, and we reached a shop where we took all the needed items for the trek on rent like the tents and mats.

From there we started our journey at around 10 am , we had to cross 5-6 mountains to reach the top and  as we continued our trek,  we came across some of the best views of the mountain ranges and the dense forest, we kept on collecting twigs on our way, so that we could set up bonfire at night, and after much struggle the most awaited moment arrived i.e the view of the mountains top  it was like feasting our eyes as we witnessed  the beauty of the whole region from the top.

We were a group of 7 people, we lighted the fire, had food, chit chat, sang songs and most importantly slept beneath the blanket of a starry sky and we made sure every stars in the inky blue sky were admired. Trekking to  Triund  for sure will be one of the most memorable trekking expeditions.

This picture was taken in Phuentsholing Bhutan.The border place of India i.e Jaigon a five minutes walk from there will lead you to this Tshoten when you talk about Bhutan it is a small and predominantly a Buddhist nation somewhere tucked between China and India, a beautiful place where the GDP of the country is measured by the peoples happiness. Amazing, isnt it? B hutan for sure is not an ordinary place, the culture that they have is really beautiful, this country is more about mountains, monastry theres magic to this. It is the last great Himalayan Kingdom,covered with mystery and magic , a place where a traditional Buddhist culture carefully embraces global developments. This picture was taken in Gumpa of Kharbandi, where a habitat of Bhutan is seen using a mala in her hand , moving the beads one by one.  These are few of the pictures I have captured on my way to Phuentsholing , Bhutan.

Puttaparthi  is a town in Anantapur district of Andhhrapradesh and is located on the banks of Chitravathi river and is surrounded by undulating hills.When I was small I had always wished for visiting  this place and take blessing from Sai Baba. It was quite amazing when we reached over there. Rather than a nostalgic trend, I'd say this place was providing us an escape from the stresses and strains and fulfilling our need to find downtime. It was such a beautiful and clean place with everyone greeting you a "sai ram" even if they had to say hello. We visited few of  the temples in anantapur, and also the main ashram in Puttaparthi which is known as Prasathi Nilayam. I learnt that Prasanthi Nilayam meant "the abode of highest peace". when we entered inside Prasanthi Nilayam , it was such a huge place consisting of splendid temples, public relations desk, post office, canteen, bakery, kitchens, dining halls, guest houses, dormitories etc. It also house
