There is something humbling about mountains. Maybe it’s their tall and grandiose appearance or the initial intimidation when you cast your eyes on it. But ultimately, the most humbling part is the sense of accomplishment that you get after climbing one.
The irony and beauty of walking is that when you are on your feet, you are all of a sudden connected, to places, corners, views and the people you would otherwise look pass out. .
You become a part of the space your feet cover, one step at a time. If you’re bored of the city, I recommend a trek up to Kheerganga. .
Someone rightly said that it is not the destination but the journey that matters.
The 13 km trek to Kheerganga is all about the journey.
One should try starting the trek at 6 AM in the morning from Barsheni ( Base Camp ). The way upwards is not only mesmerizing but mystical as well.
It is a difficult trek but one worth the effort.
You can feel a lightness with every step.
Or maybe it is the place that let you do that – breathe, feel and listen.
