Day 4

Spent our day making friends on way.
Visited the Shiva temple walking barefoot on snow.

Got ourselves amazing warm bath in the pool(kund). #warmSprings

It was heavenly.

The place where we stayed.

There's a cafe down lower from our place. There is a guy who looks like snoop dog. This place was amazing. It has swings on the verge of an astounding view.

Day 1

Reached #Delhi to Inhale Poison.

I started my journey from #Ahmedabad.
Took a flight to Delhi. Stayed at Gurgaon at a friend's place.

We had booked our Volvo prior and that's what I would recommend to you.

Still there'll be problems that you'll face when it comes to buses.
We took a bus from Vidhan Sabha Metro Station to Bhuntar.

Following are the pictures on our way to Bhuntar.

#Bhuntar is basically the hub from where you can get buses to go anywhere.

Sector 92 Gurgaon, Delhi

Boarded a bus after jugaad done by YellowPedal Bus providers. We were happy.

Tried looking all sexy.

This was Kullu, it took the cool in it for real. A bit of warmth is what you will need once November starts.

Day 2

We reached Bhuntar. @9:30 AM.
Our first task was to find a washroom and feel lighter.

Then we took our breakfast there, it was hot vapouring Thupka and spicy Momos.
We booked our seats on a local bus from Bhuntar to Barshaini.

Before we had plans to visit Manikaran (Gurudwara) but as I mentioned that you will face problem with the buses, they aren't timely, so we had to make changes in the plan and skip Manikaran.

Bus took a halt at #Manikaran for about 15-20 min and we reached Barshaini @2:15 PM.
Barshaini is from where you start your trek to Kheerganga.

Day 3

The day we reached #Kheerganga.
Took us 5 hours to complete the whole 12 KM #trek.
We even got lost on our way as we tried to take a shorter route.

Made me say,
"A road diverged into two,
we took the one less traveled and got ficked up."

There was a police raid prior our arrival. #iukwim & why.

Apart from that it was chilly.
Temperature touched -2 degrees that night.

Two ways to Kheerganga. This bridge is where it all starts from.

Witnessed snow for the first time. Not just the first time on trek but in my life. I was excited and happy.

Reached Kheerganga. Checked in a place. Dinner scenes. Paneer and roti + I dont clearly remember what else. But we ate like kings after the trek.

Got to know a bunch of new people. Here lives a baba named Nekchand. A pure soul.

These guys were from an NGO. They were collecting the garbage and taking it down. Thought of helping them but we were running outta time. And had our own heavy bags to carry. So we made sure we dont litter and disposed out garbage properly.
