Heaven is Myth, Rara is Real

I felt like a globetrotter who just discovered a haven
of utter bliss. The ambience was just so magical. I
suddenly forgot how to blink- like someone had just
put a spell on me. It was like seeing Aphrodite, the
Goddess of love and beauty.
Rara is not just another lake. It’s blue-er than the
sky and larger than life. It’s guarded by thunderous
mountains, and has wealth of secrets hidden inside
it. It’s as clear as its conscience. Rara is a treat to
every senses in the human body - the sight, the feel
and the smell of it will make you proud of yourself
that you made it to this place. Heaven is a myth,
Rara is real.
We stayed at the only hotel available near Rara Lake,
the ‘Danfe hotel’ which offered us a cozy place to
slumber and fairly good delicacies to fill ourselves.
Next day, we walked our way towards Talcha Airport.
It took us 4 hours to reach there. The trail was pretty
straight- it was under “cycling route” plan. Later that
evening, we reached Talcha. We stayed at a small hotel
where we were offered ‘Kodo ko raksi’, alcohol made
from millet. We raised our steel cups and toasted to
the most memorable travel event of our lives.
Mugu is mystifying. It’s 0% ‘Touristy’ but 100% ‘place
to be’. We all are searching for paradise, overlooking
the Zion that is right beneath our eyes.
