Backpacking in the Himalayas!

TRAVELLING ALONE does not mean you're lonely, yes this was a 15 day LONE TRAVEL! From watching murders on the highway in UP, to trekking 44 Km in 2 days, and another 8 Km the next day, meeting new people in the train who helped me reach Rishikesh and the night stay with them, and learning from them. The killer Kedarnath trek, and stay at the army camp in LIMBCHOLI, Kedarnath. Trekkiing at -2 degree celsius at 6.30 in the morning with just a windcheater and no hand gloves, reaching the temple and then meeting Mr Vinay Kumar, the chief Agriculture officer of Rudraprayag DISTRICT, who became a very good friend of mine on the trek down, who dropped me personally to my next destination in his jeep after we got down from the trek! And camping with total strangers who i met while trekking Tunganath, Gautham Mahesh and Nirmal, MBA students of UPES, Dehradhun, who turned out to be the the nicest people. And the local hotel pahadi people of CHAUHAN HOTEL, BANIAKUND, Chopta (UTTARAKHAND) who assured me that they will help me out the next time i visit and promised me that they will take me trekking in the snow and helped me get a vehicle on a festival despite no public transport! To the craziest train journey back to Bangalore with hilarious Haryanvi JATTs! To the craziest travel, and many more to come! Travelling gets out the best in you! And at last, HIMALAYAS, never fails to attract the crazy ones! No wonder they say the GODS reside here, you are a true BEAUTY! 

To all travel enthusiasts; TRAVEL ALONE, and discover yourself by meeting new people!
