Last day experience of Kalpa...How to reach,places to visit & best time to visit Kalpa!!

Next day, a much sunnier and brighter day welcomed me in the morning. It was a petite village but significantly beautiful to be get lost, and that’s exactly what I was planning for today. I slipped out of my bed, today my feet were not freezing. I absorbed some sunlight while having my tea without being getting worried about this happy tan. As it was my last day of the trip hence I didn't want to miss anything.

I started my day with clicking Kalpa’s beauty inch by inch. I roamed around on those narrow lanes and my camera couldn’t able to stop clicking pictures of those colorful houses, the snow capped mountains, the young friends and the old experienced faces, each second I was falling in love in the beauty of Kalpa a little more. There were handful of travelers, few were enjoying momo's and maggi in the tiny food stalls, kids were returning from their primary school and here I waved back to my friend Kajal who was also coming back from her school. A beautiful monastery was at centre of the village and I could see how happy human were over there being in their simplicity. Kajal and Mahak came back to join me at the monastery and we all headed towards the fort once again. Soon, the blue cotton candies turned into the grey clouds roaring onto us, also they were making faces at me and I kept on staring at them to comprehend their emotions. A sudden hailstorm was a gift later on. We all took the shelter under the tin shed and enjoyed the nature’s music thoroughly.

Later, we all head back towards the village lanes. No trip ends without pahaad wali Maggi and Momos and that too when its raining. So we all partially drenched friends had our hot cup of chai along with the Maggi and Momos. Thanks to Kajal, Mehak and Pihu who accompanied me and gave me the reason to come back again. A bid a goodbye to Kalpa and my friends with a warm Hug!!
