The handsome Mt. Shivling!! After an almost incessant snowfall the previous night, we woke up to a beautiful clear day. And there it was, the stunning mount Shivling standing tall in its full glory! Behind it is the Mt. Meru. I had been fascinated by these two for so long and finally standing there watching the two, I was speechless. We would set out to traverse a part of the Meru Glacier the following day. And on this day - we enjoyed the sunshine and clear blue skies as we breathed the fresh mountain air, eyes feasting on the spectacular views, gorged on the yummy breakfast in the mountains and started walking towards Kirti Glacier accompanied by stunning mountain peaks all around us, sparkly glacial lakes, snowy slopes and more. Trek to Gaumukh, Tapovan, Meru Glacier.

And it snowed! I had always wanted to stand under the snowfall, though I had seen/walked and lived (if trekking/camping in and on snow can be counted for this) in snow & ice but had always missed the actual snowfall or it never lasted for more than a few minutes. So you can imagine how thrilled I was when I saw this!! 😊💛 On the second day of the trek from #Bhojwasa to #Tapovan, we reached the campsite walking in a light snowfall. We were in a complete whiteout soon. So we huddled in the warmth of the dining tent as our amazing support staff served us tea, pakodas, soup, popcorn and dinner and dessert (yes in that order, and nope we didn't leave the tent from snack time till after dinner 😁) I took a short walk around to enjoy (even as I shivered badly in the cold) the first ever, almost incessant snowfall of my life.

Somewhere inside the dreamy #gangotrinationalpark Dharmu bhaiya, our guide gazing at the stunning landscape.

No matter what you do (or don't do), people are always going to label you. Let them. Sometimes, even those who claim to understand you, will judge you. Let them. Coz there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. Let them do what they want to do and you do what you need to do - your time is limited, don't waste it worrying or stressing over something which probably won't even matter after a while. #randomthought #dontlistentothem #liveyourlife #yolo #yourlifeyourway

By the Ganges, I find myself free. Though I start with seeking answers to the questions that echo in the moments of solitude. But soon the thoughts, the questions dissolve into nothingness and all sounds go mute, save the gushing Bhagirathi's... She will be called Ganga a little later, when she will grow bigger and stronger and unstoppable. She is wild, untamed, full of life now, her roar loud and carefree. But she will be calmer as she grows stronger. #ganga #ganges #bhagirathi #travel #traveljournal #thoughtsandwords #scribble #words #musings #justlikethat #uttarakhand #indiagram #travelgram #indiatravel #solotraveler #gosolo #wanderlove #travelandhappiness

As the rickety local bus inched closer to Gangotri, the temperature dropped quickly, keeping up with the moods of the mighty mountains. Outside the window, I saw this huge chunk of ice and the water gushing underneath it. (Sorry about the shaky video, the road was bumpy) It started raining soon after. This was somewhere near Harsil - another pretty town in the mountains that I would visit later, on my way back from an adventurous trek into the stunning Gangotri National Park. #traveltales #travel #wanderess #solotraveler #gosolo #himalayas #mountains #mountainlove #journey #ontheroads #travelandhappiness

"The path is wide and easy to understand, you can go on your own too, without a guide", said the local shopkeeper plainly as I sipped the black tea and contemplated on whether to take a guide or go solo. I'm glad I trusted his words (and saved ₹600 that the guide was asking for this). It was a beautiful hike through the rhododendron forest leading to a lake. So while some people you meet while travelling are all waiting for an opportunity to cheat you, there are these other kind of people too, who are honest and super helpful. And I'm so thankful to have met such people more often than not :) #gratitude #thankyou #travel #traveltales #rhododendron #forest #walk #hike #simplejoys #travelandhappiness

When hubby is a creative person ♥️ @himanshu2223 you are the best!! 😘😘 😊 #art #artist #creative #creativity #create #upcycle

I stood in the rain, eyes closed, feeling the raindrops wash away all the worries... Rain, it makes me #happy. Do you like the #rains too? What emotion does it evoke in you? #pixerf #raindrops #instamood #justlikethat #beautifulday #instapic #happiness #bangalorerains #coldrain #peaceful #goodvibesonly #photography #dslr
