पहाड़ों की कहानी, हौसले की जुबानी
पहाड़ों का सफर, दिल की एक कहानी,कदम दर कदम, मिलती नई निशानी।डर और शक को पीछे छोड़ आई,हर ट्रेक पर नई मैं बनती आई। रास्ते थे टेढ़े, कहीं ऊंचाई, कहीं ढलान,दोस्ती और हिम्मत ने दी नई पहचान।कभी थकान में छिपी मुस्कान, कभी जोश में थी जान,हर कदम ने सिखाया, सच्चाई का एक नया अरमान। खुद को खोजने का सफर था ये अनोखा,हर मोड़ पर मिला खुद का ही एक टुकड़ा।पहाड़ों ने सिखाया, कैसे पाएं हम अपनी ताकत,हर चोटी पर मिली, हौसले की एक नई विरासत। अनजाने रास्तों में, डर को किया पार,खुद को जाना, हौसले की उठाई मशाल।चलो बढ़ते रहें, हर कदम बने एक नई कहानी,ट्रेकिंग के …

What makes your life meaningful?
This question by our trek leader, hit us hard leaving us speechless. Thankfully, Tushar Uncle helped us grasp its depth, but it still lingered in my mind. Simplifying it, I wonder: How can we live happier and more fulfilling lives? Following our passions has been my motto since childhood. I've made conscious choices like leaving secure but unfulfilling jobs during tough times, taking on demanding roles with less pay, and quitting a high-paying but soul-draining job when I needed cash. This mindset became second nature to me, shaping my …
Trekking Adventures: Tales of a Solo Wanderer
Finding My Footing: A Rookie Trekker's Beginning Chance Encounters and Unexpected Paths During my solo escapade in Kashmir, I stumbled upon a group of adventure enthusiasts gearing up for the Tarsar Marsar Trek. It was eye-opening to witness ordinary people willingly embarking on multi-day treks with heavy backpacks, all for the sheer joy of it. Until then, I’d always associated mountaineering with conquering Everest, thinking it was reserved for superhuman types. Little did I know there were thousands of peaks to conquer, not just the …
