Day 2

We started off our trip straight to Auli, drive across Haridwar, Rishikesh, Rudraprayag, Karnaprayag, and many more.
I must say it was a hell of a drive after Rishikesh. Big rocks on the roads, forest fire spread across the region and still expanding, we even had problems breathing due to the forest smoke.
Long day
But before the Day came to an end, we saw this gorgeous Gorge that you see in the picture, we drove down, found a way and went straight to the sandy bank to chill out for a while. All days drive was

This is where we thought it'd be a great idea if there was a safe way to reach there!

This is where we knew we totally had a chance and started to look for a perfect spot.

Day 3

Went to the scary box hanging in the rope which can fall anytime....just kidding, this was what I felt like while my friends had a good laugh out of it.....we take it to reach to the snow point. There is also an option to trek instead of cable car.
After this, we went to the top most point by the end of the day and bid goodbye to the sun!
Lot of interesting sites along the way, you'll see in the pictures.

Scary rail starts😅

Nice bright snow, a bit harsh due to continuous glare, definitely carry your sunglasses and cold cream

Darkness was getting a bit scary, as there was no ,help, no torch, no nothing, and we still had to cross the woods in the dark! Bit of an adventure it was.
