Julley Everyone,

Starting this day out here today as a new day leads to a new adventure was not about the typical moment, not a regular day, birthday that I’m kind of special as the summer is finally gone, even though the fall season and it was now the welcoming of the winter season over here at higher himalayan mountain ranges, so was this journey, so was this adventure I would say that made me just think about why not to just visit the place before the place gets blocked. The place is in accessible due to heavy snowfall, just turned into white Paradise get covered under a thick sheet of snow, that last for near about 5 to 6 months throughout the year.

So what this day, so was this time I would say somewhere near about 10 AM when we started our journey from Manali Himachal Pradesh, my hometown as The Place leads to countless number of adventures, countless number of valleys and countless number of places that are an explode untouched and a lot more, but this portion was the land that is somewhere in between the Lahul and Spiti Valley. And the portions that I decided to just visit and wonder around and explore for somewhere in between it was kind of hard to tell that the place was called it as it was somewhere near about 10 km away from the South portal of Rohtang Tunnel, as it was not particular a village or a portion, but it was somewhere in between these regions. They are quite so having no name or the regions just come in between the places that are nearby, so that’s how just I figure out the locations by just saying about how far is it from the main hotspot or the main place.

It’s not just about the weather forecast or is it about some sort of prediction that the snow might come at a particular time, but it is that we could see right in front of us as the higher mountains they get covered under the thick sheet of snow first, so the lands that are at the lower altitude. We could clearly see the snowfall at the top of these mountains and slowly also that I could say the top of the mountain is ahead of the seasons that I would say because right in front of us, we could see that the top of these higher himalayan mountain ranges were experiencing the live snowfall that I could see right in front of me, followed by the middle portion that was experiencing the autumn season, followed by the place that where we were.

The Perfect golden hour.

I would call this particular time of the day. Had no information about the place. Neither the weather that I got to experience such beautiful moments of nature and myself. Being a part of. It was something beyond that I could say the words as I could clearly see the afternoon, sun, followed by the clouds that just got self cover and behind, and that led to a perfect weather conditions, sunlight was cold weather together the temperature, it was quite cool and chilli somewhere near about 5°C that I could say as I was wearing the heavy jackets during my adventure might even snow in next few days. Nobody knows the weather is completely so unpredictable, but throughout my journey, I could even feel like the snowflakes that was just coming from the higher mountain ranges to the lower place.

It was just other side of the valley that I could see and visiting the other side of the valley was quite challenging as we have to cross the river. The Chandra river that originated from the higher altitude of himalayan ranges that came all the way from Spiti Valley and I would say the particular range of the mountain that we could see right on the other side was nearly untested as Harley. Any person would have visited that other side of the valley places quite here are quite isolated, quite so people rather just explore the mountain ranges. Explore the locations that people could visit and also make a way to come back as it is high risk of just getting into the wild and then never making it back, but the beauty of the nature it was beyond the expectation that I had, and it took me near about five hours from Manali in order to visit the place at certain points, the road conditions they were also not quite well.

I stopped the car by the side, decided to capture as many photographs, as I could, as I couldn’t resist myself from taking and looking and seeing such a beautiful view with right in front of my eyes, my friends, the sunlight that just fallen onto this whole mountain range, and also bringing back a kind of a shadow that made this picture a whole lot of a different vibe.

IMG_2515.jpeg
As far as I remember when I checked on my Apple Watch, the altitude where we were at and we were at altitude of somewhere near about 3000 m above the sea level and still the altitude and the elevation gain was going on.

No plans, no locations. Neither have any information about the place. All it was. It was just about visiting the place exploring and capturing the beautiful beauty of the nature and making few of these beautiful memories and sharing it with you guys was something that kept me going totally. I don’t know what to call this place. I don’t know what to say about my journey as it was just about driving by in the Himalayas, capturing these beautiful shots and sharing it. Sharing my personal experience with you guys as a Wonderer so that you guys could also experience such beautiful locations as a traveller with the first hand experience that I share on just like a nomad, just like normal person who visit the place, and the first time he sees, the beauty was something exactly that I felt the place with the full suspense with the full magic of nature.

Not always, it was about the race of visiting or climbing the mountain or climbing the top of the summit, but it was all together about the whole journey about the whole process and that’s how the nature and the beauty of nature. This works and has its unique charm has its unique beauty. I’m gonna tell few of my experiences. Also, I share it with you guys as the summers when I visited the higher himalayan mountain ranges instead of tracking instead of reaching or hiking this year, I was more focused on exploring the cold himalayan mountain range and what those mountain ranges were nothing but just the dry mountains. Nothing no vegetation, not nothing at all, but all in all in itself, it was just the true beauty of the nature. The whole lot of a different experience, the whole lot of a different vibe that the nature had just on the other side as the dry desert just turns into a white paradise in the winter season, and what is beyond that I would call the magic of the nature.

The Chandra River.

The day I wondered around the place for quite a while, didn’t got so far. Neither had any plans, but rather it was just about sitting and relaxing, and just seeing the clouds, seeing the sunlight, seeing the beauty of the nature, and seeing the water flowing in the river and the sunlight just that went on and the water just feels like the shimming of the crystals, and that was something that truly meant like that. I’m watching a live stream. It was not about the live stream of today’s era, but on the other side, literally that it meant on seeing the river flowing with the crystals and the light just shimmering over it.

So that was how my journey kind of looked something and I have captured this photographs using my mobile phone, Apple iPhone 12 and edited them using iPhone photo editor. I would love to hear it from you guys. Your views about the place and the perspective in the common section, and I would love to hear it from you.

So that’s all for today, guys, I hope you liked it.
Thanks for your precious time.🙏
Love from the Himalayas. ♥️
