A Road that leads to Winter Wonderland, Auli#TheBlues

Starting from Delhi to Joshimath Journey we saw all five paryags, and numerous turquoise blue streams flowing through the mountains. we took a halt in Rudraprayag.

We were hoping to reach Joshimath before it gets dark. Our car alone was climbing up the dense hills surrounded by plush of tall Pine trees. It was dark outside after a while so we found a place to stay as we had not booked acomodation in advance. We stayed in Pipal Koti, which is 35kms from Joshimath.

Then we had dinner and exactly at 12 am my friends surprised me with a cake and we had fun.

After our morning breakfast we decided to visit Auli. There are two ways to reach Auli- one by road another by Ropeway.

We decided to travel by car. As we started on the road to Auli, it was  difficult to drive because the road was covered with snow but somehow we managed to cross the halfway. But after reaching there we found that many cars were already stuck on the way. So then we hired two local taxis, but in vain as we still could not reach Auli due to snow clad roads all throughout the way, even after driving for three hours continuously. 

But where we stucked it was really beautiful road. Trees were covered with snow then we found a beautiful corner there on the road and stayed there for sometime.

we collected some wooden sticks and burn them as it was very chilled and then we enjoyed there a lot.we came back to joshimath as we couldn't reach to Auli.

Gloves be worn on the hands,

In a Magical wonderful land,

The wind lifted me up into the trees,

Where I danced to the rhythm of the breeze.

We reached joshimath around 6 pm and checked in at the hotel. Walking is how you can really experience the joys of Joshimath. We had quite some time in our hand to explore the town.

Now we came back to hotel and then my friends suprised me with decorated room and cake again it was lovely feeling and we all had party on the rooftop of hotel, the staff arranged speakers and bonfire for us it was chilled outside but we all were enjoying this late night party. Now we all slept and a beautiful day ended like this.

I spent two hours for shooting morning scenes on terrace, watching the sun rising in the morning, having fun with friends, or just enjoying with fresh air Joshimath will never disappoint you.

Now we were ready to visit Auli.

Two of our friends early morning went to buy tickets for Ropeway to Auli but they couldn't get as they were very limited. what else we could do so we decided to go via car today also and same thing happens car stucked on the way and then we decide lets try to go by walk and The route had slush which made the path very slippery ,we stopped and somehow we got the taxi in the middle way and hired and it was difficult today as well but finally we reached.

The moment we entered Auli, we were all Awestruck. The amazing view of Auli melted my heart. Untouched snow beauty all around it was really beautiful.

We headed to Auli Ropeways, a chair lift ride to go more on top, we got into that. Chair lift experience was amazing. It was Just snow snow snow everywhere, completely white was like a fairy world for me.

I couldn't believe my eyes.....

Breeze in my hair, Sunkissed cheeks,

It lifts existence on a plane of snow

One level higher than the earth below

One level nearer sky above

Goosebumps moments......

It was best experience in life.

Now we get down from the chair lift and here we go, a little trek to the top of Gorson Bugyal. There you get a breathtaking view of Nandadevi Peak and highest Artificial lake on the top.

After visiting the lake, We had tea and maggi at the top. Now we tried ice skating as it very famous in Auli. It was so damn fun. We were falling in every single step, falling, sinking. We slided, rolled, ran and threw and played everything in snow made lifetime memories with buddies.

It was with heavy heart we had to say goodbye to this beautiful place. Now we came back to our car by 6 pm as it was getting dark and now we started our return for our hometown. There were no much activities this day, Just watch the beauty of nature. Till 12 pm we were tired and checked in at a hotel again on the way and had rest there and then next morning we just left for our hometown.

Finally we came down the hill,

We were happy like Jack and Jill.
