In search of innocence - in the wise mighty mountains!

Heya!

Aren't these pictures just so beautiful? And when you are actually there, you try to just take it all but no time is enough!

Shekhavaas Campsite - in the lap of the nature!

Sundarsar - highest campsite!

During 2015 summers I went on a trek in Himalayas in Kashmir region with my awesome friends. After a year of 9 to x (x varies from 5 to probably 11!) it was high time we all had a good break and what better than a hike in the nature - Himalaya calling!!! We went via IndiaHikes to Tarsar Marsar, beautiful and serene lakes lying in almost untouched Himalayan regions. (For those who want to go trekking: http://indiahikes.in/tarsar-marsar/ ).

Heavy downpour trek - on the way to Lidderwat - representing Quantium ;)

And a bright day - Lidderwat campsite

Sundarsar - still comprehending its beauty!

The land, the water and the air! All were so inspiring but equally tiring too.

With every taken step,
With each jump- stone to stone,
Under the starry sky,

And the moon that shown,

Through rolling deep valleys,
With each passing river and mountain,

With each blow of the winds,

And in the fog, rain and the sun,

Overlooking the snowy peaks,
where ocean of clouds never ends,
In search of peace and innocence we were,
Along with the treasure called friends.

Lidder river - 1st view!

Still a long way to go

Peak into the lense! - All of us unbelievably tanned :|

The blessed nature was so inspiring, reminding you to be down to earth, keeping you humble and making you strong for all that comes your way. One of the co-trekkers shared with us how she finds the principles of someone in this nature, how she misses someone dear and finds them in the heart of nature.

I really liked the idea and could not help myself from writing about it. I actually sat down to write the above poem but ended up writing this (below) one. And then just today, while writing here about the trek, I completed the above poem.

In the mountains

In the snow fallen new

In the trees standing tall

I always see you

In the little green leaf

In the flat trails only few

Also in the ascends and descends

I always see you

In the ripples of a flowing river

In the wet morning dew

In the stability of Himalayan rocks

I always see you

In the clear blue sky

In the innocent clouds that flew

In the cluster of stars at night

I always see you

We clicked a lot of pictures and I can't help but see them again and again. So, here are a few more!:
