I have travelled for years in the Himalayas to explore places that are still far from the eyeballs of mainstream tourists and tour agencies. Spots that are closer to nature and still hold peace and tranquillity. During one such trip, I came across this shepherd village of Kullu Manali called BHANARA where no tourist had reached before.

While living in a city, I often escaped to the mountains to keep a balance within me. These short visits to the Himalayas and a journey of 100 days in Himachal brought me closer to nature and I started listening to the whispers of nature. This page is about converting those whispers to words and carry nature's message for all. I mostly travel solo but sometimes organise trekking camps for people who want to reach closer to nature. Join me for these trips and explore the unexplored.
सूखे वृक्ष का संदेश
खुद को जड़ कर,
भीतर अपना रस संजोए,
वृक्ष उस वक्त के इंतज़ार में है,
जब हवा में नमी लौट आएगी,
और प्रकृति की कठोरता पिघलने लगेगी।
Kareri Village – A nest of Humans
There are hundreds of places that haven’t seen crowds or noise yet. These places are as beautiful as Manali, Mcleodganj, Kasol, Mussourie used to be decades ago. Move away from the highway and travel on unexplored roads. These roads lead you to the hidden paradise of mountains.
कुछ बिखर रहा है
कुछ बिखर रहा है शायद,
जो था कल तक संजोया,
वो सब अस्त व्यस्त हो रहा है,
दिमाग़ कहता है हाथ बढ़ा,
और समेट ले इस बिखरते हुए को,
मगर दिल कहता है
छूट जाने दे हर जकड़े हुए को,
Hampta Pass Trek
People say our acts should lead us to heaven when we die. I believe we should act in a way that we see heaven while we live. This trek is one of those acts. Join me to see paradise with your eyes.
Kitna mushkil hai Siddharth ka Buddha ho jaana?
बुद्ध – एक नाम जो पूरे संसार में प्रचलित है। एक इंसान जिसने विश्व कल्याण में पूरा जीवन लगा दिया और अपने ज्ञान से भगवान का दर्ज़ा पा लिया। कहते हैं संसार सिर्फ़ आपकी उपलब्धियों को याद रखता है और संघर्षों को भुला देता है। जैसे संसार ने बुद्ध के होने में सिद्धार्थ को भुला…
तलाश
इस success के बारे में इतना सुन चुका था कि मैंने भी ठान ली, एक दिन success को पाकर ही रहूँगा और तब सारे सवाल सक्सेस से पूछूँगा। मैंने सवालों के सिलसिले को थामा और लग गया कमाने में, सक्सेस को पाने में।
वर्तमान का सूरज
मैं अब तक समझ नहीं पाया हूँ कि उस रिश्ते को कहते क्या हैं जो दो इनसानों को खामोशी के बंधन से बाँध उन्हें अपेक्षाओं के समुंदर से कहीं दूर ले जाता है। छोटी सी एक पहाड़ी के ऊपर जहाँ बैठ दोनों नीचे फैले अथाह समुंदर के छोर पर लाल सूरज को ताकते रहते हैं।
Lost in Woods Camp
This camp will help you to experience trekking and camping life but with the availability of the basic needs (which include bedding, toilets, the warmth of walls and roof & good appetite). The idea behind this camp is an attempt to create a new community of travellers.
Shimla – The lost paradise
The recent pandemic made me travel to Shimla as the rest of the Himachal was closed for tourists. I went there only for a week but stayed for 3 weeks. My perspective about the beauty and charm of the queen of hills changed again. The old is gold theory proved to be 0right. I had seen more than 50 places in Himachal but Shimla has its own charm. The mix of urban and rural life, the facilities of cities adjoined with peace of mountains is what makes Shimla unique. My friends helped me to explore some places in and around which are known to only natives. These unexplored places for tourists still retain the heart of the hill station. In this blog, I will share about those places.
