Cold Stone Mountains

Cold Stone Mountains

Mostly people refer Mountains as nothing but heap of granite boulder and rocks…may be true though, but these days, it is opposite!

This post is not about all Himachali folks and Indians but refers to the minority of them, who are rapidly increasing to be in the majority or are almost in majority too! This could happen anywhere in the world but it is about local! Read Here >>

Satchali

Satchali

Satchali; Satchali with an elevation of about  2890 meters and at the base of Waru Pass of Dhauladhar Mountain Range in Palampur region is another beautiful spot for summer camping.

Temple of Aadi Himani Chamunda Devi

The work done to make concrete trail up to temple is also a total waste of funds as within two years the concrete pavement laid by state government has started to break and in most of parts it is already ruined…plus at some points it is more dangerous to step on some parts of trails..though the old trails is still good to follow.

Availability of water is still not dependent…you might think you will get water refill in the old water point..but that’s just a luck…you might reach the spot and find the tap dry. (that happens mostly and at times when on the opposite ridge villagers go to collect woods or grass for livestock and from the water source they untie the pipeline to drink water and leave the pipeline untied and which results in dry tap on Trail to Aadi Himani Chamunda Devi So you need to carry own water, if you want to avoid dehydration and loss of energy which is required to climb the steep trails.

Through Rain and Fog

On August 17^th 2013 at 10:00 am we (Triund Baba and Gordon Cole) decided to meet up in Sun & Moon Cafe behind Gallu Devi Temple above Bhagsunag and 2km ahead of Dharamkot.
We had planned a Triund hike through possible rain and thick fog, so after having tea and noodles at Sun & Moon Cafe, we started our climb.

Since long Mountains have fascinated humans and some felt scared of them. But only within these Mountains the sage and saints find Peace. Mountains have been watching every activity down on Earth and have kept a record of all incidences and they share it with whoever comes to them and has the capability to communicate with them.

Mountains have found an honorable space with the Gaddi shepherds. As these Gaddi shepherds have been frequenting them since long time and used Mountain Trails and Passes to migrate with their livestocks from one region to other. Though at present this trend is on decline as so called future generation finds this tradition a symbol of backwardness, but they keep forgetting that the Real Life is what their parents and ancestors had.
