जितने जटिल ये पहाड़
उतने ही सरल हम पहाड़ी । “

12/05/2022

सरसो पे पीले पुष्प दिखने लगे
वृक्षों में नई कोंपले खिलने लगे
प्रकृति सौंदर्य छटा बिखरने लगे
वायु भी सुहानी जब बहने लगे
मान लेना वसंत आ गया… रंग बसंती छा गया !!

धूप जब मीठी लगने लगे
सर्दी कुछ कम लगने लगे
मौसम में बहार आने लगे
ऋतु दिल को लुभाने लगे
मान लेना वसंत आ गया… रंग बसंती छा गया !!

A path to walk, a vision in mind, and a purposeless life, is what the life of a yogi is. All that he focuses on is where he is going and what he is into, which is exactly what living in the present means, dedicating oneself completely for the task at hand, considering present, as past and the future.

Although everybody cannot adapt the lifestyle of a yogi, well that is why he is called a yogi, because we have many meaningful tasks to complete, dedicated for a purpose which stands somewhere in the distant future, ignoring a hell lot of life at present.

But remember the time when you last enjoyed yourself, that is exactly what connects this materialistic world with soul, that is exactly why we all are working and indulging ourselves in the futile tasks of life, talking about life as whole, without dividing into fragments.

Why do you think we climb mountains, we work so hard, we run towards money, we workout, we walk alone, we love people, and all that drama of life, what is the need? That need is no different, from why the yogi seen in the picture above, is walking his path to 'Goumukh' (source where the river Ganges begins its pointless journey, to become one with the body of water that contains all the bodies of water on the planet), to dip in the holy water, he is also looking for that connection we all are longing everyday.

The difference is that the path is no different for him than the destination, he enjoys both equally, being a 'Yogi'.

I hope this gave you a fair enough picture of what life is. The people of my village, I consider them no less than a Yogi, it's just like their paths are different. Village life is not chaotic, its as simple as the flow of water.

Come and stay in a home, I call it a homestay, and experience life as it is, away from citylights, where darkness is also pleasing.

Are you a traveling enthusiast?

Do you really like meeting new people, and know their culture?

Well, Uttarkashi is a pilgrimage spot of India. My Homestay is based in the heart of Uttarkashi mountains, in a village named Agora. Luxury can only satisfy our body, but how about mind and soul? Using the skills of our fellow villagers that they have learned through ages, we have created a typical village based Homestay. A perfect way to experience Uttarakhand Culture, Food, Pahadi Life, getting to know people who spend their life in mountains, and perhaps learn their art too. The world is blinded by luxury, but I believe, luxury can only enhance the experience in a certain way. Come, stay with us, learn radical life saving mountain skills, so you don't need to spend a fortune on equipments, just to plan a trek, or a mountain getaway! Give us an opportunity to serve you. We are now open, and welcome travellers from across the globe.

“Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.” ― Aristotle.

It's not easy to climb mountains. Most of the time the summit day become harder than other day.

Same things in Dodital Darwa top trek, around 2 km is hardest part of the trek. Some of the trekker can't finished, And Comes Back with fragments feeling.

The view of Bandar poonch (6,316 m) is preety close from Darwa top, full view of west face, in left side is Black peak (6,387), and opposite side are Gangotri range and many more.

“Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.” for the all nature lover & trekkers Himalaya is a heaven, but to reach at pertcular destnation is very hard. Dodital Darwa top trek could be one way to reach there.
