Embracing Nature's Beauty: A Day in the Narkanda Forest🌲🚶🌲

Namaste Hive Family. I hope you all are healthy.

Today I go on a hike in the Narkanda forest. This 7KM hike passes through the dense pine forest of Narkanda and reaches directly to my house. The beautiful views of the Himalayan mountain ranges are clearly visible from here these days. Although my home is in these valleys, I also enjoy traveling here.

In the morning, the crowing of Lalu (Lalu is the name of my rooster) wakes me up from sleep. My mother gives fodder to the cow and chicken in the cowshed and milks the cow. I also feed the pigeons and after taking bath, as usual, I go to Narkanda market with milk.

After delivering milk in the market, I feel like going on a hike, so I go alone like a snow leopard through the ski slope and enter the cedar forest. There is a lot of snow on the forest path, so I start climbing back through the market path. After climbing one kilometer I reach an open field and rest for a while. The 360° view of the Himalayas is quite beautiful from here. I fall in love once again with the snow covered Himalayan mountains. These huge mountains are attracting me towards themselves.

After resting, I move ahead. It is very quiet here in the morning, it is also cold but my body is warm due to climbing. Leaving the meadows behind, I once again take the path through the forest. Here in the forest, I see the paw marks of some animal on the snow and the animal inside me also gets a little scared. So I take out a sharp weapon from my bag and think in my mind that whoever comes in my way will be killed. But nothing like this happened, I did not find any wild animal.

After some time, I start seeing human settlements and I start walking towards the settlement. I reach home in half an hour. As soon as I reach home, I see my mother bathing Dhondu. Dhondu doesn't like bathing at all.
