Hello everyone I am Ekta Sharma... I m from Muzaffarpur, Bihar......
One of my best friends suggested me to write something I like and I want to
share with anyone...... I thought a lot and reached on a conclusion to write
about one of my best experiences of travelling...
I go on vacation every
year twice with my family .... I m pursuing my graduation from Delhi University
and live there... I travelled a lot and this is one of my favourite hobbies.
Nowadays, people are very busy in doing their work ...in study
and making career. But, I think living your life is most important because we
have only one life to enjoy to fulfill our desires.... Their is an age at which
we have to do job, get married with someone do babies and take care of
them...these are the things everyone
have to do ... Some do with their concern and some in family pressure, especially girls have to face this problem a
lot.
I m not saying the
life of boys are easy, they have to work
a lot, take care of everyone, hold many responsibilities, but girls have to
face these kinds of problems in every phase of life . I faced many problems to
start my journey, even my family members are not ready for me to do my further
studies. Now they are just waiting when will I complete my study and they will
get the opportunity for my marriage. Even they in search of a boy, I think it's not necessary to share these
things ...
But I am writing here because I can't tell them that I don't
want to marry now ...I am not ready for this..... I will tell u in my next writing why
it's so....but now I have to continue my
story of travel ....as I was saying that I travel with my family but this the
travel history of mine with my friends and this is only the travel I enjoyed
the most.
We were making plan for a Vaishno Devi trip.... You know when
friends make plans it gets cancelled for sure but after many days I did not tell
anyone one that I m coming to Punjab my most of the friends live there for
their studies....I just booked my ticket and gave a surprise to them. We enjoyed
partying a lot and after one day, I told
them that we are going to Vaishno Devi.
After that in returning, we can visit any place with full of snow and my
wish was only to see a place full of snow that's it... It took much too agree
all of them but it's for only two to three days ...so everyone agreed...
After that we booked an Innova and there was only one friend
who knows how to drive a car .....But please note it's for only two to three
days, so he agreed. The day after it was 24th January. We started our
journey to vaishno Devi.....
We were going very fast to save our time and at 10pm we
reached Katra... I was thinking we should relax some time after we start journey of Darshan ...but
nobody agreed ...in one hour we booked a hotel took a bath and started the first
journey to Vaishno Devi ... We were going on our feet. We did n't take any
vehicle and anything that was provided there... After 1kilometre, I was
thinking I can't do this but we are in a group so everyone motivated me. Nothing
will happen don't worry ..I was in a hurry because after that we had to go to
any mountain full of snow and everyone was excited for that..... So by hook and
crook we reached on Bhavan but when we removed our shoes we were not able to
stand.
.... Nd it will take
2hrs to stand and for darshan of Mata Rani..... I remember I started crying literally because I was
feeling like my legs are burning and I placed my foots on fire..... After that
I wash in my legs and wore shocks after that I took some relief of that burning
....but I was also not able to stand but slowly slowly we took Darshan. I felt
there are two Bhawans and because of rush they are doing this to Yatris but
this is not good ... I m not pointing anyone but I felt that this is not good
for Yatris and also there is no such Dharmasala you have to wait under sky
nothing you can do there.
After that so much pain fun begins now I was in a condition
to not stand walking is far away from that .... again I started crying that I m
not able to go back and I need something and all there is option of chopper I was very
happy that it's great we going in chopper we just booked tickets Nd started the
way to chopper he told us after 2km we reached the helipad...
We were oki with that
started walking but as I told you I was not able to stand .... So I just sat on
the ground and start waiting for any Pitthu or Khachar on my way .... But I
never thought that it was my worst decision of my life....I never thought that
....it's was expensive but we booked Khachar and that person who holding those Khachar
told me to sit on Khachar I think it is was to sit and he will bring me to that
place ....it was just opposite of this .... I took half n hour to sit on him
.....
Really that time I was thinking that it will not going easy
like was thinking before.....but what now money paid we don't have option and I
was the first in the row of Khachars my friends are behind me.... I suggest you
never do Khachar for helepad or u will risk your life because the person who
hold them actually not hold them he just give instructions in their language u
can't understand they are behind the Khachar Nd I m on the front I can't see back
going and there is no fencing on these passes was thinking this is the last day
of my life how will my parents know I m dead.....and that 2kms felling like
20km each and every moment was like in hell.... really finally we reached top
of the mountain we all freezed ......after 1hr chopper landed I was excited for
chopper but when I see that it's of glass I was feeling like tattered.. ...
What you can do can't go back..... I was a hope that they give a seat with my
friends but no my luck wasn't my side they give me a seat just beside the pilot
he was so old I can't believe him and there is no door can u believe.... everything
was transparent......I can see how I m going to die...
It was like suicide… u can't believe ... But in 10minutes we
reached and it was very happy moment for me .... But wasn't able to walk we
just went to the hotel we booked nd take a rest of 1day we all slept for more
than 12hrs after that in evening we went to Katra market for prasad ......a
search for the mountain full of snow ...then some body told us about Dharmasala.
Here you can see snow at this time ....we was happy that we was going to do
that....then we started our journey in search of that mountain .....
After 1day we reached
some place we don't know but our only driver was very tired because of driving
in mountains....at night when he was driving only I was waking up everyone
slept.... Then we reached a placed not Dharmasala it was Meclodgunj .....and
the person there was starting to brief that place that it very beautiful you
have to take look...there are fountains Nd snow and the top and what we wanted
a mountain full of snow .....so we was
happy that ok.
We want snow nothing else so started journey to that mountain
a vehicle put all of us to that place where we can start walking And no one
wants to walk .... So we just came back after photo shooting and thought ok
when we came here just visit this place after seeing fountains we will back to
Dharmasala.....
Everyone agreed..then we started climbing mountain to see
fountains and I can't tell you that ..... that's the best experience of my life
I climbed a mountain with rope without roads only by tapping on stones which
ten and twenty times bigger than my size then
what.... We reached out destination the fountain I was so happy.....and
on mountain Maggie is only the food which are available everywhere we eat after
that it took whole day everyone tired of climbing so in evening we decided to
stay in a hotel in Meclodgunj.... We spent night there ...and in morning we
again started our journey to Dharmasala to see a mountain of snow... that's
only the reason ....
After some hours we reached Dharmasala but there nothing like
mountain of snow.... I was so sad but we visited Dharmasala stadium ....after
that we started to search in a mountain of snow.....and someone told us after
some Kilometres there is a place Dalhousie where u can see snow.....so what we
started your from Dharmasala to Dalhousie and then everyone was saying that if
we not found snow we will go back everyone has college and classes but I was in
a mood that I can't return with snow....
It's just like childish but I know that we never come back again here and
not everyone will agree again so we are just on the way to Dalhousie...but it's
not close to dharmasala it was very far it
took 1day to reach there.....but problem is we didn't found
snow.......and the scene between these journey I can't explain with my words
how beautiful they was.....I was very sad that u we didn't found snow we have
to go back ....
We stayed in Dalhousie for 1day in next day morning I was sad
that we are returning but it's already been 8 days of travelling so I can't force anyone ....
Everyone packed their bag but my friend driver knows what I want and I m sad
everyone knows he didn't go back he drived to some place I don't where are we
going and he also not replying I thought everyone is angry with me because I
just wasted their time.... I was just quit ....now what it's just begins
droplets of water in ice it's like pearls on the ground on the mountain
....they all give me a surprise that we are going to Khajjuar here u can sleep
in snow..... I was so happy ......after some hours, we reached their and not a mountain every
mountain in full of snow I was feeling like heaven in front my eyes ......
Then we reached Khajjuar
field here we do many activities like paragliding rolling balls horse riding
and u can I imagine doing all this in a
snow world.......that experience is the best experience of my life we spent
3days there..... All journey was of approx 13days.... This the best ever travel
history of my life.....I know I will not do such kind of things again in my
life......the company of my friends are awesome.....so here my best travel
history is completed....
I don't know you will like this or not but I only want to tell being in discipline
follow rules making career is only the part of our life but to enjoy it all you
can is only the motive because after marriage children life is just like
routine nothing else .....We have to enjoy it as we can......never leave any
moment of enjoyment........ THANK YOU
Ekta Sharma
