Hemkund: A Rose with a Thorn June 21st – The beautiful lake, 6 km trek to Hemkund Sahib One thing we failed to do on this trip was to wake up early, by which I mean by 5 o 6 al, because that’s when most people start to trek to either Valle de las Flores o Hemkund Sahib. A light breakfast at Himalaya and we proceeded by 9.30 to go on a 6 km trek to Hemkund, which is an important pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Sikhs. The site is situated on the banks of a beautiful glacial lake and surrounded by seven snow-clad peaks. Suena increíble, no lo hace? Hemkund is inaccessible from October to April because of the snow. Each year the first Sikh pilgrims arrive in May and repair the damage caused to the path in the harsh winter. The river flowing by was littered with plastic bags and bottles. It was disheartening to see Ghangaria falling prey to commercialisation. This trek is gradual ascent on the cobbled path since Hemkund is at a higher altitude of 4329 m than Valley of Flowers, which was 3250 excelente, so the climb is difficult and really steep. Seeing that and a bit tired from the last few days trek, we immediately decided to take a horse ride up. At the starting point we saw this lovely waterfall flowing through the glacier. One need not pack food for this trek as you will find several stalls on the way. There weren’t many people while going up, and on the initial path the smell of mule dung just hits you and it persists for some time, but its all about acclimatizing to your surroundings. The horse ride can get a bit wobbly, but its fun. We started talking to the horse owner asking him about the place, idioma, number of tourists who visit the place and more importantly how many times in a day do they climb up. They answered once or twice in a day. That’s a difficult job, I thought to myself. Alrededor 41/2 kms after the trek, we had to get off the horseback and walk our way to the top, as there are glaciers ahead and horses obviously aren’t allowed. So either people walk it up or go on “pithoos.” We could see hundreds of pilgrims climbing up and hundreds leaving, all of them chanting “Satnam Waheguru.” We started saying that as well. When we reached it was fairly clear and we could see the peaks around. Citing glaciers had become a regular sight for us, something which we enjoyed walking on throughout the trip. When you stop in the middle of the path through the glacier and look up to see the source of it, its majestic. The winding road to Hemkund. There are two ways of going up, you either take the well laid out route or the shortcut which is quite steep. We took the first one. On our way we would stop to take pictures of the landscape or catch our breathe, and would find many pilgrims encouraging us to go on and that we’ve almost reached. I found that really kind. The route has been well-made, so its an easy climb. In the mountains, flowers grow in abundance. With the winter season over, and the snow melting, chances are high to spot to several amazingly pretty flowers. Varieties of flowers, ferns, and herbs are massed in the valley in all their frail beauty and scented sweetness. Close to the entrance of the gurudwara, we spotted a pile of garbage on one side and felt really disappointed to see that sight. Usted es "The One" y tambi 4230 m above sea level and people are just ruining the place, unfortunately we didn’t see anyone doing anything about it. The path leading to the entrance is also dotted with shops selling religious souvenirs – photo frames, shawls etc. You can see the snow-capped peaks in the background as you enter, it was quite a contrast to the noise and congested place. But I guess all religious places would be. The Sikhs believe that Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Guru of the Sikh faith, had meditated on the bank of this lake in one of his earlier births. It is widely believed among Sikhs that Guru Gobind Singh introduced the customs now universally associated with Sikhism. Since its discovery in 1930 by Sikh Havaldar, Solan Singh it has become a major pilgrimage center. Like many religious places in India, the custom is to enter the holy place bare feet as a sign of respect. We found a safe place to keep our shoes, and the floor was so cold, I could feel a shiver go down my spine, so I decided to keep my socks on and proceeded to the main hall or Darbar Sahib in the gurdwara. As we entered the hall, we saw large number of devotees sitting cross-legged on the carpeted floor and listening to prayers. The tradition is also to cover their heads before entering the hall. Sri Guru Granth Sahib – the holy book of the Sikhs – was draped in fine raiment, flower-bedecked, and placed under a canopy, which was decorated in attractive colored materials. With several devotees we moved slowly towards the canopy and there was a Sikh man in attendance, cantando oraciones. The devotees, as they come, kneel before – la Guru Granth Sahib – the forehead touching the ground and placed a small offering. It was our first visit to a gurudwara so we followed the same ritual, offered our prayers and moved ahead. Next to the canopy there were few singers, who were doing a good job. Seeing them reminded me of a conversation we had with a Sikh pilgrim from Punjab, on our way up to Ghangaria from Govindghat. He asked us from we were, on replying Mumbai, he asked us if there were singers in gurdwara in Mumbai, and whether he can get a job there as a singer. We’ve never visited a Gurudwara in Mumbai so we did not know if they had singers there. After visiting the religious place it was time to go to the lake. The entry point to the lake was crowded, with several pilgrims, only men – young and old – taking a dip in the water. There were suspended chains which you can hang on to while you immerse yourself in the icy cold water. Our eyes popped out, its freezing cold, how can they jump in the lake with only their underpants on. We watched few of them in amazement and also made them conscious. The lake is set like a jewel in a crown of seven of the most picturesque snow peaks of the Himalayas. When you see the reflection of the surroundings on the crystal clear water, your heart will definitely skip a beat. The view was simply amazing. There are thin sheets of ice floating on the lake and the glaciers from Hathi Parvat and Saptrishi peaks feed the lake and a small stream called Himganga flows out of this lake. We decided to go away from the crowd onto the other side of the lake, where it was much more peaceful and serene. I thought to myself that no wonder this place is a spiritual power place, it is perfect to meditate and attain a higher state of consciousness. It was the closest we came to snow on this trip. The rock-strewn shores of the lake are covered with moss and flowers in bloom. Flowers were spread far and wide. A small bird enjoying in the lake. This is one of my favorite pictures, taken by Clyde, and it captures the fun the bird is having bathing in the lake, causing ripples in the water. The reflection of Hemkund Sahib on the calm waters. It was an unusual sight, seeing mice darting about on the hills. Sniffing and staring at us, cautiously watching every move we made. Another small bird hopping on the ice sheets. Oh, what a feeling! We saw people leaving by late afternoon, the place was so much better then, all you could hear was the birds chirping and the wind brushing through you face. From the far end we heard people asking us to get back, they were the caretakers and guard of the place. We had to leave. There is also a Lakshman temple on the banks of the lake. It is believed that Lakshman, the younger brother of Ram, meditated by the lake and regained his health after being severely wounded by Meghnath, son of the demon Ravana, during a battle. On reaching the entry point of the lake, the guards seemed annoyed with us. They said we should have informed someone before venturing to the other side of the lake, as its a bit risky. We tried to convince him that we didn’t go far away and that the place is so beautiful we couldn’t resist to spend some time away from the crowd. The guard explained that there are animals which come to the lake to quench their thirst, like a bear with her two cubs. So if we were to stay a little longer we could have caught a glimpse of life on this snowy land. But it was getting late, and it was time to head down. Just adjacent to the gurdwara there was a eating hall or Langar Hall where communal meals are served. Langar is the term used in Sikhs for the free, vegetarian-only food served in a Gurdwara and eaten by everyone sitting as equals. There were just handful of people when we reached. The food is prepared by voluntary helpers, who stay at Hemkund for four months to serve thousands of pilgrims who flock this place. Outside the langar we saw few helpers washing the dishes and bowls in steamed water. So I took one bowl from them and got myself hot khichdi, a dish of lentils and rice. They were also serving tea. Its just basic food but the warmth and hospitality of the people just makes it taste better. I loved the khichdi, and Clyde didn’t eat much as he is not very fond of it. The image above shows the voluntary helpers who prepares food for nearly 6000 a 7000 people everyday. After eating it was time to descend. We were the last few people to leave the place and the weather was getting dicey with dark clouds covering the mountains around . We took the short cut which is more steep than the route we took to climb up. In no time it so was so misty and foggy that we couldn’t see beyond 5 pies. Then we approached the glacier and one of the paths on the glacier had disappeared because of the bad weather conditions. There were group of helpers who guided everyone in the right direction, helping people to cross the path. People were walking in a queue while crossing the glacier, at a very slow pace, holding the stick to walk carefully, because if you slip or step in the wrong direction, you are history. A woman ahead of us asked Clyde to look after his 10-year old kid and help him cross the glacier as it would be difficult for her to handle him. So Clyde with a stick in one hand and the kid on the other side crossed the glacier. The kid, by the name of Dilpreet Singh was a cute fellow, totally oblivious to the situation in hand, started to dance on the glacier and slipped twice. But fortunately Clyde held him and nothing unpleasant took place. We couldn’t click pictures at that time, as the visibility was deteriorating and we wanted to reach Ghangaria safely. All of us managed to cross the risky part, and we reached a lower altitude the visibility improved a bit. It was tea time, so we rested at a stall on the way and had the best tea we’ve had on this trip. Lot of people who were behind us, moved ahead some of them asked us to not to waste too much time and reach down at the earliest. We were really lucky that it didn’t rain. On the way we saw a handsome horse, resting in his stable. 3 km left and the smell of mule dung hits you again. Climbing down is always easy, but the last 2 km was a bit tiring. We would halt, catch our breath and walk again and chant “Waheguru” as well sometimes to keep going. Now the whole valley was visible. What a relief! Nos tomó alrededor de 4-5 hours to reach Ghangaria. Clyde was desperate to have a steamy mushroom soup at Himalaya, so it was already decided that as soon as we reach down we head straight to the restaurant. But on the way we made several stops. A guy was engraving names on finger rings for Rs 10, so me and Clyde decided to get one each. He got one because I asked him to, such a sweetheart. There is a shop in Ghangaria, which is run by Rajnish Chauhan, an avid trekker and a tour guide, that sells mountaineering equipments, gear, im & CDs of the Valley of Flowers etc. I remember while passing it in the morning, reading a notice on the glass door, which read – “I have gone trekking, will be back in the evening.” So this time we thought we would make a stop and see some of the pictures he has taken. He also runs slide show on The Valley of Flowers for tourists and is well-versed with the place. He treks nearly everyday to the Valley and knows the names of every plant and animal. When the season is over, he heads to Auli to give skiing lessons, and goes camping on various mountain peaks in Uttaranchal. He claims to have seen a snow leopard three times, but has never taken a picture, so am not sure how far its true. But we really envied his lifestyle, adventurous and thrilling. We bought a CD on Valley of Flowers for Rs 100, it has the full history of the Valley when it was discovered in 1931, las flores, the route etc. If you need a tour guide to take you around Valley of Flowers, contact Rajnish - HIM TREK O Bhyundar, Distt Chamoli – 246433 (Reino Unido) Bigotes y barbas de la India se celebran en el nuevo libro He charges Rs 600 for the whole trek. Now it was time to finally go and have some soup. We had a delightful dinner, talking about our experience at Hemkund. The foggy weather towards the end of our journey, the pristine lake and the diverse flora and fauna sums it all up.

Hemkund: Rose s Trna 21. lipnja – Lijepa jezero, 6 km putovati do Hemkund Sahib Jedna stvar koju smo uspjeli učiniti na ovom putovanju bio je probuditi se rano, kojom mislim pod 5 ili 6 po, jer to je kada je većina ljudi početi putovati na bilo Dolina cvijeća ili Hemkund Sahib. Lagani doručak na Himalaji i nastavili smo po 9.30 ići na 6 km putovati do Hemkund, što je važno mjesto hodočašća za oba Hindusa i Sikha. Stranica je smještena na obalama lijepe glacijalnog jezera i okružen sa sedam snijegom odjeven vrhova. Zvuči nevjerojatno, zar ne? Hemkund je nedostupna od listopada do travnja zbog snijega. Svake godine prvi Sikh hodočasnici stižu u svibnju, a popravak štete na putu u oštre zime. Rijeka teče po bila puna plastičnih vrećica i boca. To je obeshrabrujuće vidjeti Ghangaria pada plijen komercijalizacije. Ovaj Trek je postupan uspon na popločenom putu jer Hemkund je na višoj nadmorskoj visini od 4329 m od Dolina cvijeća, which was 3250 m, pa uspon je teško i jako strma. Vidjevši da je i pomalo umorni od posljednjih nekoliko dana putovati, odmah smo odlučili da se vozimo konj se. Na polazište smo vidjeli ovu lijepu vodopad koji teče kroz ledenjaku. Ne treba pakirati hranu za ovo putovanje kao što ćete naći nekoliko staje na putu. Nije bilo mnogo ljudi, dok će se, i na početnoj putu miris mazga gnoja samo vas pogodi i to traje neko vrijeme, ali je sve o acclimatizing na svoju okolinu. Vožnja konj može dobiti malo klimav, ali je zabavno. Počeli smo razgovarati s vlasnikom konja pita ga o mjestu, jezik, Broj turista koji posjećuju mjesto i još važnije koliko puta u jednom danu oni popeti. Oni odgovorio jednom ili dva puta u jednom danu. To je težak posao, Mislio sam na sebe. Oko 41/2 KMS nakon Trek, smo morali sići konju i pješice naš put do vrha, kao što su glečeri naprijed i konji očito nisu dopušteni. Dakle, bilo ljudi hodati ili ići na “pithoos.” Mogli smo vidjeti stotine hodočasnika penje i stotine ostavljajući, svi su skandirali “Satnam Waheguru.”Počeli smo reći da te. Kad smo stigli bilo je prilično jasno i mi mogli vidjeti vrhove oko.Navodeći ledenjaka je postao redoviti prizor za nas, nešto što smo uživali hodanje na cijelom putovanju. Kada se zaustavi u sredini staze kroz ledenjak i pogledati da vidim izvor njega, njegova veličanstvena. Vijugava cesta na Hemkund. Postoje dva načina ide gore, možete ili uzeti dobro legao vanjska strana put ili prečac koji je dosta strm. Uzeli smo prvi. Na putu ćemo prestati da se slike pejzaža ili uhvatiti naše disanje, i da će naći mnogo hodočasnika potiče nas da ide dalje i da smo skoro smo stigli. Otkrio sam da je stvarno dobar. Staza je dobro napravljen, pa se lako popeti. U planinama, Cvjetovi rastu u izobilju. Sa zimske sezone više, i otapanje snijega, šanse su velike da se uočiti nekoliko nevjerojatno lijepim cvijećem. Sorti cvijeća, paprati, i bilje su uobličena u dolini u svoj svojoj ljepoti i krhkog mirisne slatkoće. Blizu ulaza u Gurudwara, uočili smo hrpu smeća na jednoj strani i osjetio jako razočaran da se vidi da iz vida. Vi ste "One", a tako je i svi drugi,,en,Vi ste "One", a tako je i svi drugi,,en,Vi ste "One", a tako je i svi drugi,,en,Vi ste "One", a tako je i svi drugi,,en,Vi ste "One", a tako je i svi drugi,,en,Vi ste "One", a tako je i svi drugi,,en,Vi ste "One", a tako je i svi drugi,,en,Vi ste "One", a tako je i svi drugi,,en,Vi ste "One", a tako je i svi drugi,,en,Vi ste "One", a tako je i svi drugi,,en,Vi ste "One", a tako je i svi drugi,,en,Vi ste "One", a tako je i svi drugi,,en 4230 m nadmorske visine i ljudi su samo narušili mjesto, nažalost nismo vidjeli nikoga radi ništa o tome. Put koji vodi do ulaza također se nižu dućani prodaje vjerske suvenire – okviri za fotografije, šalovi itd. Možete vidjeti snježnom kapom vrhova u pozadini kao što uđete, to je sasvim kontrast buke i zagušen mjestu. No, mislim da sve vjerske mjesta će biti. U sikhi vjeruju da guru Gobind Singh, Deseti Guru vjere sik, je meditirao na obali tog jezera u jednom od svojih ranijih poroda. To je široko vjeruje među Sikha da guru Gobind Singh uvedene carinske sada univerzalno povezane s Sikizam. Od svog otkrića u 1930 po sik Havaldar, Ptica nalik na gusku Singh je postao glavni hodočasničko središte. Poput mnogih vjerskih mjesta u Indiji, običaj je da unesete sveto mjesto bose noge kao znak poštovanja. Pronašli smo sigurno mjesto da bi naše cipele, a pod je bio tako hladan, Mogao sam osjetiti drhtaj ide niz moje kralježnice, pa sam odlučila zadržati svoje čarape na i nastavio glavnoj dvorani ili Darbar Sahib u gurdwara. Kao što smo ušli u dvoranu, vidjeli smo veliki broj poklonika sjedi prekriženih nogu na podu prekrivenim sagom i slušaju molitve. Tradicija je također da pokrivaju svoje glave prije ulaska u dvoranu. Šri Guru Granth Sahib – sveta knjiga od siki – je zamotan u finom ogrtaču, cvijet-bedecked, i stavljen pod baldahinom, koja je uređena u atraktivnim bojama materijala. Uz nekoliko bhakta smo polako prema baldahinom i tu je sik čovjek u nazočnosti, pjevanje molitve. Bhakte, kao i oni dolaze, kleknuti pred – the Guru Granth Sahib – čelo dodiruje tlo i stavio malu ponudu. To je bio naš prvi posjet Gurudwara pa smo slijedili isti ritual, ponudio svoje molitve i preselio naprijed. Uz krošnje bilo nekoliko pjevači, koji su radili dobar posao. Vidjevši ih podsjetio me o razgovoru koji smo vodili s sik hodočasnika iz Punjaba, na našem putu do Ghangaria od Govindghat. Tražio je od nas su, na odgovaranje Mumbai, on nas je pitao da li su pjevači u gurdwara u Mumbaiju, i da li on može dobiti posao tamo kao pjevač. Nikada nismo posjetili Gurudwara u Mumbaiju, tako nismo znali da su imali pjevača postoji.Nakon posjeta vjersku mjesto da je vrijeme za odlazak na jezera. Polazna točka do jezera bila gužva, s nekoliko hodočasnika, samo muškarci – i stari i mladi – kupanje u vodi. Tu su suspendirani lance koji možete objesiti na dok uronite u ledenu hladnu vodu. Naše oči popped out, njegova hladnoće, kako oni mogu skočiti u jezero sa samo svojim gaće na. Gledali smo neke od njih u čudu, a također ih svjesni. Jezero je postavljen kao dragulj u kruni sedam od najslikovitijih snježnih vrhova Himalaja. Kada vidite odraz okoline na kristalno čistom vodom, vaše srce će sigurno zastalo. Pogled je jednostavno nevjerojatna. Postoje tanke plahte leda plutaju na jezeru i ledenjaci iz Hathi Parvat i Saptrishi vrhova hraniti jezero i mali potok zove Himganga teče iz ovog jezera. Odlučili smo otići daleko od gužve na drugoj strani jezera, gdje je bio mnogo mirniji i spokojan. Pomislio sam da nije čudo je ovo mjesto duhovnu moć mjesto, to je savršen meditirati i postići viši stupanj svijesti. To je najbliže što smo došli na snijegu na ovom putovanju.Stjenovitoj obale jezera su pokriveni mahovinom i cvijeća u cvatu. Cvijeće su širiti nadaleko i naširoko. Mala ptica uživati u jezeru. Ovo je jedan od mojih omiljenih slika, poduzeti Clyde, i to snima zabavu ptica ima kupanje u jezeru, uzrokujući valove u vodi. Odraz Hemkund Sahib na mirnim vodama. Bio je to neobičan prizor, vidim miševi strelovit oko na brdima. Njuškanje i bulji u nas, oprezno gledajući svaki potez smo napravili. Još jedna mala ptica skakanje na ledenih ploha. Oh, kakav osjećaj! Vidjeli smo ljude ostavljajući tako kasno poslijepodne, Mjesto je bilo toliko bolje onda, sve što je mogao čuti bio je cvrkut ptica i vjetar četkanje kroz tebe lice. Od kraju smo čuli ljudi nas traži da se vratim, oni su pazitelji i stražar u mjestu. Morali smo otići. Tu je i Lakshman hram na obalama jezera. Smatra se da je Lakshman, mlađi brat Ram, meditirao uz jezero i povratio svoje zdravlje nakon što je teško ranjen Meghnath, sin đavla srušeno, tijekom bitke.Na postizanje ulazna točka jezera, stražari činilo annoyed s nama. Rekli smo trebali informirani netko prije venturing na drugu stranu jezera, Kao što mu je malo riskantno. Pokušali smo ga uvjeriti da mi ne ide daleko i da je mjesto je tako lijepa nismo mogli odoljeti provesti neko vrijeme daleko od gužve. Stražar je objasnio da postoje životinje koje dolaze na jezero utažiti svoju žeđ, kao medvjedica sa svoja dva mladunčeta. Dakle, ako smo ostati malo duže mogli smo uhvatili tračak života na ovoj snježnoj zemlji. Ali, to je kasno, i bilo je vrijeme da glavu prema dolje. Samo u susjedstvu gurdwara bilo prehranom dvorana ili Željeti Dvorana u kojoj se poslužuju obroci komunalne. Langar je izraz koji se koristi u Sikha za besplatno, vegetarijanska samo posluživanje hrane u Gurdwara i pojeli sve sjedi kao jednakima. Bilo je samo nekoliko ljudi kad smo stigli. Hrana se priprema volontera, koji ostaju na Hemkund četiri mjeseca služiti tisuće hodočasnika koji stado ovo mjesto. Izvan langar smo vidjeli nekoliko pomagače pranje posuđa i čaša u pari vodu.Zato sam uzeo jednu zdjelicu od njih i dobio sam toplu khichdi, jelo leća i riža. Oni su također služi čaj. Njegova samo osnovna hrana, ali toplina i gostoljubivost ljudi jednostavno čini bolji okus. Voljela sam khichdi, i Clyde nisu jeli koliko on nije jako sviđa to. Slika iznad prikazuje volontera koja priprema hranu za gotovo 6000 na 7000 ljudi svakodnevno. Nakon jela je došlo vrijeme da se spusti. Bili smo u posljednjih nekoliko ljudi da napuste mjesto i vrijeme bio uzimajući kockast s tamnim oblacima koji pokrivaju planine oko . Uzeli smo kratku frizuru, što je više nego što su strme staze smo se popeti. U kojem trenutku je to tako bilo toliko maglovito i maglovito da nismo mogli vidjeti dalje 5 Noge. Onda smo se približili ledenjak i jedan od puteva na ledenjaku nestao zbog loših vremenskih uvjeta. Bilo je skupina pomagača koji je vodio sve u pravom smjeru, pomaže ljudima prijeći put. Ljudi su hodanje u redu prilikom prelaska ledenjak, na vrlo sporim tempom, držeći štap hodati oprezno, jer ako slip ili korak u pogrešnom smjeru, ti si povijest. Žena ispred nas pitali Clyde izgledati nakon 10-godišnji klinac i pomoći mu prijeći ledenjak kao što bi bilo teško za nju da ga nositi. Tako je Clyde štapom u jednoj ruci i dijete na drugu stranu prešao ledenjak. Klinac, po imenu Dilpreet Singh je slatka kolega, potpuno nesvjestan situacije u ruci, počela plesati na ledenjaku i skliznuo dvaput. No, srećom Clyde ga održava i ništa neugodno dogodio. Nismo mogli kliknite slika u to vrijeme, kao vidljivost pogoršava i željeli smo doći do Ghangaria sigurno.Sve nas je uspio prijeći rizično dio, i mi postigli nižu visinu vidljivost poboljšanu malo. Bilo je vrijeme za čaj, tako da smo odmarali na štandu na putu i imao najbolju čaj smo imali na ovom putovanju. Puno ljudi koji su bili iza nas, preselio ispred neke od njih pitao nas da ne gubiti previše vremena i doći dolje na najranije. Bili smo jako sretni da kiše nije bilo. Na putu smo vidjeli lijep konj, odmara u svojoj štali. 3 km lijevo i miris mazga balege te opet pogodi. Penjanje prema dolje je uvijek lako, ali posljednja 2 km je malo naporan. Želimo zaustaviti, uhvatiti dah i hodati i pjevati “Waheguru” te ponekad zadržati ide. Sada je cijela dolina bila vidljiva. Što je reljef! Trebalo nam je oko 4-5 sati do Ghangaria. Clyde je bio očajan da imaju pun pare juha od gljiva na Himalaje, tako da je već odlučeno da čim stignemo dolje krećemo ravno do restorana. No, na način na koji smo napravili nekoliko zaustavlja. Tip je graviranje imena na prst prstenje za RS 10, tako da mi je i Clyde odlučio da se po jedan. On je dobio jedan, jer sam ga zamolio da, kao ljubimica. Tu je dućan u Ghangaria, koji vodi Rajnish Chauhan, Strastveni putnik koji polako putuje i vodič, koji prodaje planinarske opreme, zupčanik, slika & CD iz Doline cvijeća itd. Sjećam se, dok ga prolazi u jutarnjim satima, čitanje obavijest o staklena vrata, koji glase – “Ja sam otišao trekking, će se vratiti u večernjim satima.” Dakle, ovaj put smo mislili da će se zaustaviti i vidjeti neke od slika koje je poduzela. On također radi slide show na Doline cvijeća za turiste i dobro upućen s mjesta. On treks gotovo svakodnevno na dolinu i zna imena sve biljke i životinje. Kad je sezona gotova, On odlazi na Auli dati sati skijanja, i ide kampiranje na različitim planinskih vrhova u Uttaranchal. On tvrdi da su vidjeli Snow Leopard tri puta, ali nikada nije uzeo sliku, tako da nisam siguran koliko je istina. Ali mi stvarno zavidjeli njegov stil života, avanturističkog i uzbudljivo. Kupili smo CD na dolinu cvijeća za RS 100, ima punu povijest doline kada je otkriveno u 1931, cvijeće, ruta itd.

Sada je došlo vrijeme da se konačno otići i imati malo juhe. Imali smo divan večeru, govori o našem iskustvu u Hemkund.
