Travellor's Mornings at Mountains

How the tea tastes in the morning, while seeing the rising sun from seating on a mountain?.. Its divine !! The steam reaches your lips, makes you feel the warmth aroma of it…and you cannot resist your hand to take a sip of tea. As your mouth filled, it feels like millions of tiny buds in mind has awaken and as you gulp it down, the sensations of rising buds emerges into your entire body and that makes you feel surmounting. The more you feel this at the time of sunrise, the more you can connect with the rising sun. The cooing and chirping of birds, breezy wind making you feel alive by touching forehead, cheeks, nose tips, neck, fingertips. You feel it more when you tenderly close your eyes, feeling the breeze passing by your closed eyes. All these tiny acts becomes treasurable when you are seating at the place from where you can see sun rising. It spots simply and quietly.. like a small kid hiding himself behind curtain but, still, he is showing his face with a tiny smile on his face. Gradually it starts appearing and lastly takes place in the sky, like a king who deserves the sovereignty after winning the battles …and it’s a moment to wait for life time… The warmth of the rays releasing from Sun makes your body go heavenly crazy. Goosebumps gets on you and makes you forget everything for a moment. It becomes an absolute peace and then you see it all. The amount of visuals you see are mind boggling. The vast expanse of sky in front of you filled with indefinite width and the land beneath you assuring you are a tiny part of this cosmos yet you feel, you are heveanly lucky to be a part of such spectacular sight. Usually, feeling such mornings are nearly impossible in day-to-day scheduled life. But it really gives elite experience in the duration of scheduled break or on the trip.. First one is always special. So my first one will be always special for me because it has built the base for my love towards mountain trekking and travelling. My experience to see the rising sun started, when I went on a trip to Shimla and then Dalhousie. My day started with a cup of tea and seating on a place, from where I could see rising sun from the mountain. That spent moments of 10-15 minutes was more auspicious than any other time of the day. The hill station is a dream come true for trekking fiends as it offers the best.....

trekking paths for beginners. As you pass through the verdant surroundings, you can't resist yourself from soaking in the tranquility, that smell of dry leaves and calmness of the place. My Shimla Trip gave me an unforgettable memories of ..mornings at mountaion, living in a wooden cottage, chance to meet new people, to connected with the local people, glimpsing their ability to manage life with little resources yet to have positive approach about place and constant efforts to maintain the beauty of place. What I gained during Dalhousie trek was astonishingly lovely trek sideaway foliages which made me speechless while walking and observing it. All trees, plants, tiny shrubs were seemed so megical when the sunrays were falling on it. They shaded from lush green to light green and sun rays were like a fingers of God, tendery touching entire flora !! On the way to Kalatop from Lakkarmandi (a specific place) was a living heaven for me, where I got a chance to see the amazing views of the beautiful landscapes. The surrounding was so spectacular at trek path, that I could not content my self by just gazing it and walking ahead. Each time I saw somthing attractive at lush of trees and plants, my legs would just trapped there and the view had a such megical aura, which was mesmerizing me completely. Waking up to see beautiful mornings in such green mountains, are those memories which has fresh views even today. When I close my eyes and remember those scenes it flashes in front of me, divinely.
