1374 Words
today counts day 8.......
Next morning, after their silly race and cheating.....
the pass that links the Parvati valley of Kulu to Pin Valley of Spiti. They got the mesmerizing 360° views of Pin Valley........Shrikhand Mahadev, Kinner Kailash, Bara Shrigiri, Parbati Goat Head peak, Fluted peak, Kulu Makalu will definitely FLAT anybody with their exuberance.
The 110 km difficult level trek is peppered with a shifting panorama of lush prairie grasslands on one end and a cold barren desert of Spiti region on the other end of the spectrum. Colossal pastures, Buddhist hamlets, freezing glaciers, Hot Springs of Parvati Kund and an assortment of vivid culture-........this trek is certainly not for the faint-hearted souls
It was 11:30 when they finally reached their destination, the highest point of their trek........Reaching the apex point of the trek was the most exhilarating part of this expedition obviously
'so, this is it guys! Our final destination, hope you enjoyed it' Sumen declared with a grin.
'Ah! Finally' Others groaned.....especially those whiny females except Insiyaa! true that sometimes she got little restless due to----
but she loved every bit of it.....!
after she came here to trek........anything save that should not matter!
hmm!
'we are going to make our last camps here today!' Sumen instructed.
It was almost 4 a.m., lunch was bit late today! And everybody was really tired.
but!
BUT,....... that did not stop them from having fun especially when a 15 years old throwing some giant snowballs at everyone.
Literally.........Everyone!
one hit Shawkat's back......
''Owwwww'' Shawkat stumbled forward and groaned and then turned to look behind him only to see Insiyaa was laughing, rolling her head back
''you did not just do that!'' He exclaimed, while Rahat laughed
"YES! I DID" She yelled while making another ball
''you just called for a war''
with that he picked some snow and pressed them together to made a sphere and threw it as hard as he could but she ducked just in time and laughed again!
"you MIIISSED......do they teach you nothing in your fancy college Shawky" She mocked and threw another one at Rahat which hit him on shoulder.
''Owwww! you...Wait.......little witch!
you are definitely going to get it now''
Rahat chuckled and ran after her. He threw one ball and missed her by two inch but it hit right on Sankalp's face. At this point all 3 of them were laughing loudly like bunch of maniacs at his situation....
But Sankalp wiped his face, looking pissed but he remained silent and then after awhile when all of them got distracted......
"It's gonna backfire" Blaze mumbled under his breath and smirked looking at Sankalp's hidden hand holding a huge snowball
"just watch" He argued and with that.........
''hey little Raichand, you know I'm the basketball champion in my college'' Sankalp voiced out excitedly with while slowly coming towards her with another ice sphere in his hand behind his back to throw.
She stilled for a moment looking at him arcing eyebrows high....the glint in his eyes didn’t go unnoticed by her but she remained clam and.....then gave him a smile sweet as saccharin
"CONGRATULATION.....BUT I REALLY DO NOT CARE" She replied with same enthusiasm
"rahat RUNNNN" She screamed and started running.
Blaze laughed......
witty troublemaker!
With the endless supply of ice....balls were made in all different sizes and thrown, they had a good snow fight,
fun! Everyone took a insane amount of pictures for their social media!
After that, suddenly out of curiosity, Sankalp pointed to a red flag far away on a very high hill and asked......
'Hey! Sumen! Waha keya hai'
[ Sumen! What's up there ]
Everyone looked at his pointed direction and then at Sumen with curious, questioning eyes
'ah! That!
That is known as "Andhar Parvat" '. Sumen replied with a mysterious look
'Let's go there na!....what an amazing the view will be from there!' He said getting excited and he was the only one, because every other person either rolled their eyes or showed zero to NO INTEREST at all
'Andhar Parvat! does anybody know why it is called "Andhar"! andhar means dark, haunted! _____ Sumen said creating an aura of an expert, aged teacher around himself who gathered knowledge from experience and when no one made any sound to argue with him, he took that as an invitation to continue......
"legend has it, there used to be a tample of Shiva up there, many Maha yogis used to go there to ask for boons....so, whoever reached to the top, he could wish for anything and It'll be fulfilled!
Many tried from time and again,... no one knows if there is actually a tample there or not
OR, how many wishes have been fulfilled because-----there he took a stop and gave a serious expression to everyone before starting again!
because no one had been seen returning from there to tell the tale.....beside people often claimed it to haunted by dark spirit and that's why nobody made it back.
Even if anyone made it back, he/she kept it secret for it is an omen to reveal a wish'' Sumen finished and took a look at everyone's bewildered expression.
Snow ball fight was long forgotten, even some Girly gasps could be heard in background too which made Insiyaa roll her eyes......
Sun was already on the way to go down.....so, bonfire was set and people started gathering around it to enjoy the warmth!
Sankalp and Rahatvwas sitting beside each other with few girls a bit from Shawkat, Insiyaa and Blaze......though their voice was absolutely audible to them.....
they be like....."a-attmaa"
[ dark spirit ]
"raat ko na...aaj hum torch on rakh kar soyenge"
[ tonight I'm gonna keep the torch on ]
"oo__kkkay"
"aarey don't worry baby dolls.....why fear when we are here,... we are going to give you company!" Sankalp said in his jolly mood while Rahat just rolled his eyes
"ha ha bilkul.....wese bhi Aatma e na boring logoke saat rehte hai''
[ yes, yes! Spirits are constant companion of boring people, anyway.... ]
"then you better watch out for YOURSELF" One of them smirked pointedly at Insiyaa while she just raised her eyebrows back at the girl who made that remark
"they never harm colourful peoples, you know! infact, they loooovvvee them" Insiyaa said smirking and looking pointedly at them....
more like their clothing.....
one was wearing hot pink parka jacket with knee high navy blue boot and another was wearing skinny jeans and short dark cherry red bomber jacket!
"of course.... they would lo--- their proud make up donned face paled hearing her.....
"ll-love....w-what d-d-o y-yoou m-mean they love t-them.....lllike, h-how.....
Insiyaa just shrugged giving them a suggestive wink....."you know"
She could have sworn boys around them was snickering......many were wheezing in silent watching those girls horrified expression when they suddenly jump on feet and took a mad dash toward their tent to change into something subtle.......
"not cool Insu.....not cool at all" Rahat said with a small smirk....
as soon as they were gone, Sankalp and Shawkat was rolling on the ground from laughter along with other few.....
''kya khassi hai! Yaar!''
[ bunch of p*****s ] She muttered under her breath shaking her head
"but can we actually go ?" Sankalp asked after catching his breath looking at Sumen
''it'll take more than a whole night. We won't be able to make it back before tomorrow afternoon with everyone so tired now,..... I've never tried to go there with any team before so, I won't be guarantying the safety" Sumen solemnly answered
''Oh! alright!'' a defeated sigh left Sankalp's mouth.
But on the other hand, Blaze was in deep thought.......when Insiyaa noticed that, she narrowed her eyes to take a good look at Blaze and noticed a glint!
"A contemplation ?
Bloody hell, is he thinking of....... he wouldn't dare, would he ?" Her mind asked her
"Not after this......WARNING! FAIRY TALE!
Oh,..
HE
WOULD......damn" She replied herself
"Well, what say Insiyaa......wouldn't you like to know now ?" Her mind asked
"Of course, i would!
I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW.....
YOOOOHOOOO!
another adventure,......
another mystery!!!!.......
one that I would very much love to decipher." She screamed back screaming to her mind
