Day 1

When I was in my College, I used to watch videos that how the Mountaineers climb the peak in Snow. I used to say "How do they do that". Yes! sometimes you built dreams because you have seen something extra-ordinary. So from that very moment, I have a Dream, Dream to climb a snow- covered peak (With a small GREED i.e. my camping tent witness the snow-fall).  And this time, I choose this famous snow trek in Uttrakhand "KedarKantha Peak". I used to ride Himalayas on Bike but this time I decided to cover this trek with some happy souls around the world and for this I  picked up  Adventure Nation's package.

"Sometimes its good to travel with some unknown souls"💯

So My first day end up taking late night Volvo from Majnu ka Tilla, Delhi for Dehradun (The Capital of Uttrakhand)

"My Parents are the reason if I'm able to connect to this beautiful world. Thank you Mom and Pop's"❤️

Delhi- Dehradun (240Kms; 6 Hrs)

Day 2

Dehradun- Sankri (200kms, 10hrs)

Well I reached Dehradun by 5AM in the morning. The over-night journey was comfortable as it was a Sleeper Volvo (There are multiple options to reach Dehradun from Delhi). I almost have 2 hrs as the group will meet at 7AM. So I roam around ISBT, Dehradun and have some Tea and Egg-Bhurji (Believe me, in a Chilled morning, they are like life-savers🙃)

And, finally clock hit the alarm bell and I started the journey along with other fellow trekkers towards SANKRI (Base Camp of our Trek).

Our Winter Ride????

After a trek of 4kms, we reached our 1st day Destiny i.e. Juda Ka Talab.

Day 4

Juda-Ka-Talab to KedarKantha Base Camp (4KMs, 2-3 Hours)

Well Day 4 kicks in. After winning the war against a chilled winter night in the Himalayas (Brandy helped me🍻), I was all set for another Day, another surprises. We started our Trek to KedarKantha Base Camp site which is located at a height of 11250feet.

People asked me "What you get from these Mountains and all". How should I tell them "I found Happiness"

Juda Ka Talab was frozen. You know what it means.
We still have some ICE-AGE left

And finally, we reached the base camp site and settled ourselves. Everyone was asking for a Cup of Tea and Yeah! I was also a part of that demand😅. And then everyone obeyed a rule i.e. "Lets play with Snow

And the moment arrived. I was about to live a dream that kept me wandering for years, a quench that was about to get fulfilled. Time to take the Galaxy Shot❤️. I cant express my feelings here. 😍🤩. It took 17 failed attempts to capture the one 💯

Love of my Life❤️❤️❤️❤️
