In the cradle of Himalayas

It was May (2008) end when we,me & Nitin(my husband) decided to move towards Himalayas.After a long discussions with in us we started on 2nd June to Delhi.The most interesting part of this journey was trucking. we spent around 2 & a 1/2 months in himalayas by walking & some times trucking with least money in our hand.We covered Rishikesh,Haridwar,Gangotri,Gomukh,Yamunotri,Kedarnath,Badrinath,Massuri& Dehradun. One should visit himalayas to see the greatness of Indian culture,the hospitality the villagers show towards a strngers like us was unimmaginable.One interesting thing I wish to share with you all;one day after walking for more than 25 kilometre in the nearby village we wish to take rest(it was late evening),we asked a lady,she welcomed us to her home.When we got up in the morning both the couple(house owners) were getting ready to go to field work,leaving us in their home.We asked them that how they are trusting us so much ? we may run away by stealing their things.The answer was still amazing,they told-if you take anything it was not belonging to us.Such a wonderful people they are.Such experiences are plenty in the journey.We could meet many sanyasis,sadhus,Babas,Ashrams & scholors.We could enjoy the breez of terrific Ganga,soothing Yamuna & guptagamini Saraswati.We spent a day in Gomuk glacier,which was a deadly & unforgetable experience.The air & water their is so pure,we used to feel less hungry unlike in plains .Legends behind each place in himalayas take you to a different world.Whenever i share my journey to himalayas with anybody i go back to the thrilling experiences.I personaly felt that everybody must visit himalayas once in their life time.I have given a very brief introduction about my journey.If anybody wish to visit himalayas by trucking,can contact me for route map.
