HIKE TO THE
HIMALAYAS

he lush green mountains
stood like lords under the
grey sky as the rain
continued to pour down in
the valley of the sages - Rishikesh.As
a spectator in trance, I just kept
looking and looking at the glorious
Himalayas with the clouds dancing by
its sides. I have been to the
Himalayas many times before - Pauri,
Rishikesh, Kedarnath, Gangotri, Om
Parbat, Darjeeling, Rohtang, even the
Khardung La Pass – I have seen it all
in my last 10 years of mountain trails.
But never before have I been put
into a trance. Observing the
Himalayas at such a close distance
for such a long time in such a
situation – the haze of the clouds,
the beating rain, the majestic
mountains of Tapovan – for me, it
was magic.Those particular hours of
observation, meditation, and Yoga,
those particular moments of being in
the moment in such an environment,
those particular hours of not being
able to take my eyes off the hills
amongst the clouds under the rain - I
am never going to forget this
experience in this life at least. In fact,
I am going to treasure and relish it
for the rest of my life, may be keep
going back to the hills again and
