My recent 5 days in the mountains
I don’t know about others but the mountains hold some spiritual energy which keeps on distracting me. I live in Noida and I started visiting the Himalayas back in 2011. It’s almost 12 years, I have visited beaches, plains, and deserts but when I sit quietly in the Himalayas they keep energising me, actually, in some sense the energy resides high up there pushing thoughts in my mind and trying to convince my intellect to act on them.
Sometime back while searching and making bookings for Kedarnath a random thought came to my mind saying I am making efforts for all this but this is not going to happen for now. But I still made the bookings and inform my friends about it. We were excited because a few of them are going to visit the holy shrine of Kedarnath for the first time.
We all have heard about the crowd overflow and bad climatic conditions high up there and at the last moment with the influence of my friends I have to cancel the trip.
But somehow I couldn’t convince myself, I had an idea to visit another holy shrine of Lord Shiva named Tungnath and this was my first ever visited holy shrine back in 2014.
So the plan was to drive from Noida- Rishikesh- Devprayag- Rudraprayag- Chopta and back to Noida, all these places lies in the state of Uttrakhand also known as Devbhoomi (Land of Gods). This is almost 5 days journey and the total distance to be covered will be close to 1000 Km both on plains and mountains.
Not making this piece too lengthy let’s jump into my day 1 journey on my next piece.
Namaste!
