Journey Begins - Take a trip

Chamba (Himachal Pradesh)

Before taking this trip I googled the place, it appeared to be like any regular hill station but when I actually landed at the place, luggage off the car. I coundn’t keep my jaw intact it kept dropping over and over as we walked towards our hotel. It took me a while to actually sink into the environment and appreciate the surreal landscapes. A sense of relief ran through my mind and as a reflex to my photographic passion, camera was in first thing I pulled out of my luggage and that is when it struck me that the len view would never be able to do justice to what my eyes could see. 

With the calming effect of nature, the quiet rustle of leaves, silence in the air and sound of the wind, one can celebrate space in the expanse of natural harmony. If you are an admirer of pristine nature, love walking aimlessly on the trails, hiking in the rolling hills, munching on fresh fruits, and celebrate stillness, Chamba is the place for you.

Sky full of stars

Cause you're a sky, you're a sky full of stars Such a heavenly view You're such a heavenly view A hanging seat outside our room oscillated like a pendulum. The swing's suspension chains were permanently mounted to the porch ceiling; and the seat was large enough to occupy upto three people, with an armrest at each end with a rod on top, on which you could rest your foot. It was the most comfortable seat. It soon turned to be a medium to relax and calm our minds, we made it our space to unfold after the end of each day. The twinkling lights from the mountains afar and the stars aligned in such a way that they camouflaged and appeared to be a galactic view right under our feet, oh so beautiful! The cars on the distant mountains with their headlights on seemed like shooting stars from our sight. It took me back to my childhood days when I aspired nothing but to be able to touch the stars so with every stroke of the swing going upwards, the kid inside me was back a...
