Day 2

It was the trip when I was in 5 standard dull but fresh memories that gave the best experience I could ever had in my life. So everything happened in a very short span of time on the last moment planned trip and luckily we got the  tickets as well. We started the trip in the middle of july with the whole group of around more than 20 families through private buses from jaipur being a kid I thought kashmir is also 7-8 hrs away from jaipur but it took us 1 and half days to exactly reach over there in between we watched the beautiful sunrise and sunset, long and yet milky waterfalls that surely took my heart away and also the witty antakshri  is a must when you are with family with abundance of love, joy and amazing vegetarian food it was a binge trip with lots of memories.
We reached kashmir in night around 9.30 pm and guess what the first place where we stayed in kashmir was dalhousie the view, the scenery not only gave me butterflies but made me realize the unconditional love that every kashmiri has for nature. It's a pure bliss that's why it's known as land of heaven and I am very fortunate enough to go there soon as day passed we were enjoying a lot until it was when the whole group decided to head for a trek towards gulmarg through horses I was very happy as well as excited to ride on a horse it seems to me like a fairy tale but that turned out to be a sword for me as in start of the ride it was fine but soon after say 15 mins my horse started running very fast and there was no one around me all I could see was stream on one side and Highland on the other side with army soldiers at a distance of 5 mins I was so frightened I was crying all the way round until the horse made me reach gulmarg safely and later on I discovered that my horse was a trained horse and after watching the beautiful way of gulmarg we headed back to our places through horses again but while returning I wasn't afraid rather I was telling my horse buddy to run fast and beat everyone. This incident made me realize that everyone around us need kindness, care, love and affection and it's required more when we are with the beautiful creatures of our earth. After getting back I just hugged the horse said him thanks for this adventure and fed him with grass.
It was my day to remember
Thank you😊
