Anything that happens for the first time, is briefly scary. Because it's new. You haven't tried it ever before. So, when I set my foot in the Govind National Sanctuary of Uttarakhand in India, I was anxious. But as the old adage goes - every great journey begins with two feet. The trek happens to be one of the toughest and the most wonderful journeys I have undertaken. 

Nothing changed. And everything changed within me.

Hiking through Govind National Park is not easy, but totally worth it ;)
