IMG_7158 Large.jpeg
Julley Everyone,

A new day a new adventure, A new start and new opportunity after all a new life... So lets get it!


IMG_7167 Large.jpeg
Here we are!! Just right above the clouds... A beautiful day beyond a beautiful village of Manali Himachal Pradesh India.. Just right above Shegli Village were we on an expedition just to free ourselves form the modern world.. just to get lost in the world where there’s no network no wifi just greenery and nature all around.

So I along with my brother and a friend of mine from California specially came to Himalayas to get inspired and work on his project about something special.

IMG_7164 Large.jpeg
Though in my previous most I tried to hike and explore a unknown trail to the top of the mountain and today after few day we finally decided to go for a proper expedition and explore the place beyond...

IMG_7166 Large.jpeg
Actually after all at the top this place the trail led to Rani Sui lake and in my past I have been to the place before but form the different trail and every single time I try to explore a different trail towards the destination.. I think thats the only thing which makes a true nature lover an explorer...

IMG_7168 Large.jpeg
It was around 8 AM in the morning and we were at the top and last night we stayed at the village closer to the destination form where we started the expedition and at 4AM in the morning we stated our journey form the base point and reached at a good altitude form where we got feeling about being above the sky!

I tried to keep all the photos in raw format so that you guys can see the exact picture instead of the enhanced and edited one.


IMG_7170 Large.jpeg
For a while even the weather was against us and it started to get fogged by which there were a lot of chances that we could get lost in the mountain as there was not a proper trail as not many people usually used to visit this place as because being so far away form the town and heavy trekking which made this magical place still untouched by the masses!

IMG_7171 Large.jpeg
We were just walking where the wind took us after all we were just enjoying and feeling so energetic and positive maybe just because of the fresh air which was blowing and the clouds were just. forming in front of us! To be honest just this moment was just a magical one for us guys.. as seeing a natural phenomena in front of us..

IMG_7172 Large.jpeg
I remember I used to read about fantasy of being above the sky literally walking the sky and as while hiking over this place and looking at my right I really got that feeling guys which I truly cant express guyss!!!

IMG_7173 Large.jpeg
While wondering we saw this guys.. A natural water spring an over a rock turned into the shape of a natural water pipe maybe a few hundred years old as when I touched the rock it felt really deep and strong..

IMG_7174 Large.jpeg
As we were gaining our altitude slowly even the vegetation was changing and different type of plants were seen visible of which I literally had no idea about.. Guys do let me know about this plant if you have any idea about it as it covered a huge portion of the area of the place all the fields of there green plants making it a lovely moment for the on seeing this view.

IMG_7176 Large.jpeg
Finally we were just about to cross the NTZ, non tropical zone were the natural vegetation like tress and other plants doesn’t usually ground because of high altitude and low pressure and oxygen level.

IMG_7178 Large.jpeg
There were just the lush green meadows pf fresh green grass making it a paradise to the cattle and Sheep who usually rely on the lush green grass..

IMG_7179 Large.jpeg
Usually there us to be a lot of shepherds in this area who usually used to live in the places like these and at the time of winters they used to come down to a lower altitude place than this as in winters this place for the most of the time used to be under the blanket of snow nearly more than ten feet average for about five to six months.

IMG_7181 Large.jpeg
I even saw few of the fire remains of the shepherds who like few time back had lit a fire to protect them form cold and wild animals. Maybe even in the past the shepherds had cooked their food on the rock as the way they were kept as a form of natural stove.

IMG_7182 Large.jpeg
While hiking for a while we were nearly around the region form where onwards the NTZ zone begins... the trees seen in the photographs were the last trees of the mountains and beyond this altitude there were no such tall trees just the green grass even which was till a particular altitude.

IMG_7183 Large.jpeg
The view form this particular place was just amazing guys... It was just the region where two different worlds meet as seen in the photograph guys.

IMG_7186 Large.jpeg
Going beyond the NTZ zone It was just the sky and vast green meadows in the sky and It was just me my brother and my friend in the place at this time.. Just Imagine guys being all alone in a place like this...

IMG_7190 Large.jpeg
I tried to capture few of the silhouette photographs of the place.. though it was not a dusk or a dawn buy around 3 PM in the afternoon and the sky was just showing up its different colours.

IMG_7191 Large.jpeg

Here are few of the photographs.. All the photographs are in RAW format so you guys would get the actually view of the vibe which I experienced.*

IMG_7198 Large.jpeg
We finally reached at the first basecamp at around 4: 30 PM after hiking throughout the day.. we were just so tired and hungry but after all the happiness that I got being in a place like this was just of a whole new level.

IMG_7199 Large.jpeg
Sky and heavens meeting all together was some sort of feeling that I felt being in a moment like this guys so I thought why not to capture such a moment and share it with you guys..

IMG_7200 Large.jpeg
We even saw a heard of Sheep and shepherds but they were so far away from us.. though they were looking like that they are so close to us but guys the distance between was of near about an hour hiking.

IMG_7206 Large.jpeg
The evening sky looked something like this as seen in this picture.. It was not less than a fantasy came true guys.. just the things which were missing were few of the angels and unicorns..

IMG_7207 Large.jpeg
We were just between the clouds living in our dreams beyond our imagination.. life here seemed like totally of a different dimension. A dimension that I don’t think that any writer can express!

IMG_7210 Large.jpeg
We even saw a tiny glacier meeting slowly which made it clear that the day next in which we were planing to go beyond would be full of snowy and glacial adventures as the altitude that near around double of the one in which we were right now.

IMG_7211 Large.jpeg
We were near around 9842.52 feet above the sea level.. quite a good elevation right..?

IMG_7212 Large.jpeg
All there photographs were captured by me using my iPhone 12 and are all unedited.
