I was really looking forward to this trek to Nagari. It was supposed to be the much needed break! A break from so many things.... And exploring nature turned out to be the best way to escape from all that..
I dont want to describe the whole trek like a Karan Johar movie ;) Just the best parts, because in this trek I learnt from someone that its best to not remember the bad things/memories!
So the "wow" moments are:
- I was looking down and walking for like 5 Kms. Trying to not hit my toes to the stones on the way and balancing myself. Suddenly the clouds cover the sun and I look up and there are these gigantic mountains with huge rock formations on them. Green lush forests with dead drop silence.Awesome.
- Holding a rope and crossing the waterfall to go from level 1 to level 2. Whattey experience! (People who attended this trek will know what am talking about)
- The night spent at the waterfalls ! Three of us were sitting on a staircase which leads to a small bridge across the stream. Just 20 feet away is the waterfall almost 40 feet high. Its dark and we have no lights whatsoever. The moonlight falling on the water... fireflies suddenly lighting up the scene from no where ... singing the song "kaisi hai yeh rut ki jisme....".....oh my god... There are too many descriptions but then I can never even get close to describing the reality. Trust me , am not a person who exaggerates !
- Swimming in the pool of water just below the waterfall. Well technically I was not swimming at all but then the water was so cold that I could not make myself to move :P
- The camp fire... having hot soup in the night and noodles in the morning !
- The porcupine quill we found on the way back , which was then given to me as a gift from the boys ! :)
It is amazing how this non tourist spot turned out to be so much fun. trekking is all about pushing yourself beyond your comfort level, exploring new places and meeting awesome people :)
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the guys who picked up my bags and pushed me to walk when I was totally tired out and acting like a baby ! :P
Looking forward to many more !!!!!!
