A bright sunny day... laying under the shade of the oldest deodar tree of the woods... That's all we need..... This summer!
Namaste Everyone,
It was a fine bright afternoon of May 12th. The weather was kinda windy but has an ambiance of heat it it.
So apart from the everyday hustle and bustle I along with my cousin @sohamghai went for a lovely day hike in the outskirts of Baragran.
The land above the place Banoni was our destination for today. So it was around 12 o'colck noon when we started out hiking journey from the starting point of this jungle known as Sokhni.
The pathway was really slippery because of the presence of bon leaves and the pine leaves making the pathway slippery.
The whole pathway was covered under the shade of the oldest deodar forest in the whole valley.
To be honest we were literally enjoying our hiking journey even in the hot temperature of near about 25C. These tress never made us feel hot during the whole journey.

This place is known as Banoni. A peaceful place referred as the resting spot for travellers who use to travel through this pathway to Shegli Village.
This pathway was once the only pathway to the most oldest villages of Kullu valley named Shegli and Ksheri. The ones who use to live in those villages used to live there for the whole year. They just use to visit the cities once or twice the year in the ancient times.
Due to the modernisation nowadays those two villages are the main upcoming tourist destinations of the upcoming times. The roads which were just constructed made this whole hidden gem a diamonds of this valley.
Thus this resulted in making this ancient pathway a hidden pathway to the lost world. Which has now been totally changed.
This pathway had many attractions like huge stones over which we had to cross by climbing them and many various adventures were just waiting for us.
This is a seed of pine tree, this seed is also known as Shangte in local language. This pine tree also becomes the reason for the death of Himalayan snow leopard because thy feel from a great height of the trees thus falls on the head of the leopard and the head portion of the leopard is really very sensitive which ultimately results in the death of the king of the woods.
While walking through the pathway we also saw this steep natural wall of the stone. I was so amazed to see something like this not having even a small crack in between.
The pine and the Deodar trees were getting dense and dense and we were about to reach our destination too.
After walking on the same trail we finally reached out destination at 1 o clock in the noon. The lush green meadows under the shade fo feets of feets long trees.
The sun was juts over our heads but the trees were just trapping the whole heat between their branches.
The air here was really very refreshing and climate was really were fresh and soothing.
The view between the trees was just so eye pleasing.. The villages of the other side of the valley was all visible from here.
The Deodar trees were really very high enough to easily make our caps fall.
So we sat over the lush green tiny grass under the shade of mighty Deodar Trees and had our refreshments.
By the side of the path there were also many water tanks which were used to store the frozen water from the glacier above for the supply of fresh and cold water throughout the year.
We relaxed for about an hour here till the later afternoon had made our day a memorable one.
All these photographs were captured by me using my iPhone 12 and were edited in Adobe Lightroom.
So thats all for today guys. I hope you liked it.
Thanks for your precious time 🙏
Love from the Himalayas❤️
