We are always in search of a place where we can find peace within our hearts, a place which can bring sanity to our minds and could feed a hearty desert to our soul. And we don't find the sanity and peace in the places we have heard of , we find these aspects in our journey where we explore these places and finally find one which has magic. I found my peace in the foothills of the Shiwalik range of the Himalayas. Though the spot is only 30minutes away from my hamlet (village) but it is a must go. All I could do is set up a tent near the river bank soak my feet in that gushing water of the river and relax adoring the gift of the God given to us. I was dazzled with the lush green valleys surrounding it and the wildlife that I could see near the river. The beaming sunlight piercing through the hazy rainy winters giving a kind of warmth which added a delight to my heart. There are few thing that we should always remember when we set our journey a traveler must always find something that no-one has ever heard of because that is the only best part of our journey where we find a land that no one has seen or heard of where we can sit still and gaze around admiring nature and let the tranquility seep in!!
