Majestic Mountains- Roads to adventure

The thrills, adventures, excitement and the closeness of nature, choose them and mix them, add some inner spirit, put some do-not-disturb vacations and move for some twist and turf-full roads of Majestic Mountains, bet me, you are going to end up with a rejuvenating trip of your life.

Story of my first mountain trip was inked in my life chapter  in previous month, preciously saying in previous month when I had a trip to Vaishno devi Shrine in Katra district of Jammu & Kashmir. The Holy shrine is actually a cave in the mountains of Katra where according to mythology a small girl name Vaishnavi hided and meditated and finally met with her originators, the three original super powers of this universe Goddess MahaKali, Goddess Maha Saraswati  and Goddess Mahalaxmi. The place where she meditated and achieved her spiritual wisdom and powers is still there. It is a narrow 25 ft cave where you have to pass by crawling on your knees, sometimes twisting your bodies but trust me after passing that cave, which is called GarbhJun these days; you will feel like , you have taken re-birth. Well to feel that awesome feeling you have to walk uphill around 6 km for Garbjun and 6 km more for the main temple-bhawan- where the fight between Maa Vaishno devi and tantrik Bhaironath happened. Ya I know I skipped something. However if you want to know the full story you can go to Wikipedia.

The thing which I want to tell you is 13 km uphill walk. In 1 word if I want to say then it will be “awesome”. If you start your journey in evening before sunset around 1-1.5 hr early then you will come across the beautiful sunset view like this ( ya I was there capturing the beautiful sunset). 

Seeing the gradually painted saffron wall of horizon turning black and fixing up there little small twinkling stars by nature own hands feel like totally magical.  

                                   

 

While taking a walk uphill for the temple, Katra valley view in night come as bliss for the eye. It feels like somebody has opened a box of gem and diamonds and pearls are shining over there.  The pavements are covered by blue polymer sheets which gave a feeling of blue light tube has been decorated beautifully.

                                    
                                    
        
As we(me and my partner) were walking uphill night was showing its darkness gradually and so the magic of nature was also flashing its magical wand aesthetically. The moon was shining like the sun (obviously it was a full moon). The trees were taking beautiful shapes in the moonlight, urging me to take some beautiful snaps of their presence and so I did. The pine trees were giving a goofy and strange feeling at the same time. 
                                                     

                                      

                                                                                             

                                            

                                            

And finally when the dawn was approaching and so was our journey for the temple I took my best shot of the trip. In the white moonlight with the little glimpse of katra valley in the extreme mid of picture covered by two mountains in the 1^st layer of the picture on which some pine trees on 1^st mountains made this picture astonishingly beautiful.

                                 

And then finally the dawn came. 

                                        

And with dawn we was there at the main temple (which is called as “bhawan”) . From there the view of katra valley was just heart-touching; a river flowing through the mountains, the hazy air was making the view magical.
                                   

                         

After coming back from the main Vaishno Devi temple we went for a steeper uphill walk from there to a temple called Bhaironath Temple. It has been said that without visiting this temple your trip to this holy place is incomplete. So we were back again on the road with all our gears to ride again for another milestone up there. Trust me this 2 km walk was nothing as compared to I walk before even the last 13 km uphill walk I did from Katra to bhawan. However, the result was worth it. I saw my first ice-mountains of my life.

                             

And there only I made my mind to come here again. 

 

                                     

Yooo baby I am coming againnnn..

Fun Fact :- At the top of mountains  I mean to say at bharonath temple you can watch the Pakistan network capturing by your phone try to latch in on your own risk . :)
