My Magic Moments
(from the blog)
...we got up before the sunrise in anticipation of a special treat today. The sky was clear. Bone-chilling cold was making us shiver. After few minutes, we could notice the colour of the sky getting lighter & the shadows of Himalayan ranges getting more visible. Activity around the lawns was increasing by the time.
And The Magician starts the act. Cameras around the park start capturing the miracle, frame by frame. The first crimson ray of the Sun kisses the highest of the Panchachuli peaks. It Glows....and gradually, whole Silver on Himalaya turns Gold...!

My Magical Moments
(from this blog)
...and before I could move out...the sight of colossal Chaukhamba reflecting the milky bright moonlight, floored me! To view the graceful grandeur of the moonlit snowy hilltops at this hour of the night was an experience inexpressible!
With solar torch (provided by tent owner) in my hand, I moved out of the tent. The biting cold was making me shiver. There was an absolute silence all over the place. After a long-long time perhaps, my eardrums could not sense any vibration in the air. Though not raining, dew filled surroundings and water vapour rich atmosphere had a typical scent. An almost full moon was defining the landscape differently. The sky looked richer manifolds on the star count. There was no vacant space at-all to insert another one. We all love to see these shining, twinkling and glittering self-dependent little stars. There was a live spectacle for the meek creatures on earth to applaud the Almighty...who needs sleep with such a dazzling night-show.

QUICK READS
Respect Nature. She Reciprocates!
Mountains are the World’s Water Towers. Water, stocked as Glaciers, flows downwards in form of rivers. Besides satisfying our thirst, it also sustains most of the food production in addition to the maintenance of various green belts that generate the basic requirement of our life, the oxygen.
My birthplace, Delhi is a wonderful place, just a few hundred kilometers away from world's most famous water towers, The Towering Himalayas. And whenever we want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city we head straight into the lush green wilds of the Himalayas to breathe easy in the lap of raw nature. With an almost endless list of destinations, blessed with delightful landscapes and colourful trails for all tastes, capacities & capabilities, Himalaya, we believe is the abode of Gods. However, spending time in such serene surroundings brings its own responsibilities too...
...avoid littering around. Use eco-friendly produce during the journey.
