Journey to Har Ki Dun

Experience the thrill of standing "at the edge of all we know"

By Vikas SharmaPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Through winding paths and treacherous slopes,

We venture where the mountain hopes

To touch the sky, a realm divine,

Where nature's grandeur stands sublime.

From Taluka's thatched-roof shops we start,

Each step a challenge to the heart.

The river rushes far below,

A constant friend, a potential foe.

Doubt creeps in as daylight fades,

In Seema's embrace, our spirit wades.

But morning brings renewed desire,

To climb again, to venture higher.

On mule-back now, through snow-kissed air,

Har Ki Dun Trek beyond compare.

A cradle vast, this valley grand,

Where time and space, in awe, expand.

Brown hills give way to pristine white,

A humbling, awe-inspiring sight.

In silence, nature's grandeur speaks,

Of adventures past and future seeks.
