Few of the moments that were worth to remember worth to experience and worth to share about, So here we were, my friends wondering around the magical Wonderland is beyond the last villages of Lahoul and Spiti region of Himalayas. It was the Darcha village and we were now headed to the lands beyond. It was literally a deep valley and we had to cover that valley through and through by this beautiful landscapes and the roads that were connecting the mountain passes.

IMG_6948.jpeg It was really a beautiful day as early as 10 AM. We were at the place all I was doing when I was in my car. I was taking a quick glimpse of the mountain peaks that I could see using this mobile app in order to figure out that what was the mountains, and the thing that I found it was that most of the mountain peaks they were still unnamed and explored, and untouched by any person. it was so amazed to see such hidden places, even do exist.

IMG_6949.jpeg Headed straight in this beautiful perfectly constructed road along with this perfect weather, even though it was the monsoon season out in Himalayas, but today I would say it was the luck when I finally got a chance to visit the place and that too in such a clear weather and clear climatic conditions that I could easily spot the mountain peaks far and far away beyond himalayan ranges.

The Empty Roads with little to no traffic.

Throughout my whole journey I found no cars at all literally or I would say I found few of them the trucks and I would say nearly 2 to 3 cars it was all just the empty road and me and these mountains and we had the adventure begin.

There was this lonely cloud wondering around the mountains just like me I would say as comparing myself to the cloud in search of peace and search of happiness that the cloud was truly getting such lovely environment conditions that the nature is offering at the moment. IMG_6951.jpeg

IMG_6952.jpeg The whole drive. It looked something just like this. I could literally feel that how we were just covering the distance up along with even getting a lot of high elevation. After every single curve that we took and that was something that we were headed, we were going beyond at an altitude of more than 5500 m above the sea level, that’s quite a lot of elevation Where most of the people do feel altitude sickness, but all I had the local remedies that few of my local friends, they told me to carry exploring when being at such an high altitude place in the Himalayas, especially most of the people they do feel dizzy.

IMG_6953.png And in no time when I checked my mobile phone, just in order to see that at what altitude we were at the moment and my friends, so amazed to see that in time I would say 30 minutes when we started journey, we had increased the elevation now at the moment we were at altitude of more than 3600 m above sea level.

The road through the valley.

IMG_6954.jpeg After driving for more than an hour, also, I reached at this place, from where I could literally see the whole valley and the road that was just built on the other side, and it was the whole lot of distance that we had to cover up. I was just so fascinated about that how even the road at Sachin high attitude place even existed. It was really a harsh climatic conditions that the place face during the winter season when the snow it is more than 10 feet, which last for more than 4 to 5 months, it was only the time of the year when commutation at the place was really possible.

IMG_6955.jpeg Another thing that I noticed when I was at the place it was that I was so amazed to see the vegetation that the place had we were at high altitude, place and at an altitude beyond, I would say 3000 m or so. It is the region beyond the tree life and we were at the region beyond that, and it was the NTZ non-tropical zone where only very few varieties of floor and Puna, they tend to grow and all that I could see from far and far away. It was just these green bushes all around in these plants, they have adapted themselves for such harsh climatic conditions.

IMG_6957.jpeg My friends when I reached at this place I saw that the road it was just write build next by The Mountain it was a thick rock wall of marking cutting to it by which the road was formed between the valley and from far and far away I could see that we were literally going beyond the valley and it was like covering the distance up in a car through valleys usually at such high mountain passes most of the people the ones who have explored and discovered this wonderland and this route in the ancient times would have been really a tough time for them because the distance it was quite a lot my friends there were these countless endless mountains all around.


The Remedie for altitude sikness that the locals use sometimes. IMG_6958.jpeg It was nothing much but just Vicks inhaler yes what locals say is when they feel altitude sickness as it was not proven or anything but that was something that the people got relief from it was the camphor that was present in the inhaler and most of the balms also it is available so I was not able to get a camper at the place so I thought about why not try Vicks inhaler as it contains campus and really my friends when I was feeling a bit dizzy I just took my inhaler out and I am I was feeling a bit relaxed. Talking about and sharing my personal experience.

Then were these broken roads all around there was this construction of the bridge around the road, conditions of the roads till now they were quite well built but when I reached at the spot there was literally a dry clean that was just flowing that had right a lot less water but when the water accumulates then it is hard to cross the road.

IMG_6960.jpeg

IMG_6962.jpeg It was the source and the region where the water was coming in the water it was quite less and when the ice melts quickly in the higher mountains the water this increases thus form blockage in the road.

So that's all for today guys I hope you liked it it was really a whole lot of different experience that I wanted to share it with you guys for this post do let me know my friends the particular portions of my adventure that you like the most in the comment section and I would love to hear it from you.

**Thanks for your precious time. 🙏 Love from the Himalayas. ❤️**
