Tungnath to Chandrashila
The path ahead of the Tungnath temple is a little fight to climb. The broken rocky patches followed by the muddy portions of the trail give the hikers a tough time. We made our way through the desolate trails to reach the point from where on, it was all snow that we could walk on.
The trail disappeared and it was just the thick snowy road ahead of us. This is where the pack really split into pieces. We all tried to follow the foot-steps on the snow but could barely stand the cold. The chilling breeze made matters worse.
But the astonishing beauty of the place kept us going. We could see the temple at the Chandrashila peak far from our reach. but we were on our way.
Chandrashila Summit; a daring chase

The paths were laden in white. The adventurers were high enough to quit & head back.

The memory of that instance is still fresh in my mind. I dreamt of scaling down a mountain & it was coming true. We were on a steep incline with nothing but snow under our feet and a terrifying valley staring at us from the swallowing heights.
The terrain challenged our bodies but could seldom move our thoughts of making it to the summit. We slipped several times, lost tracks of the foot-steps, and got stranded on those unforgettable heights with nothing but the ravishing peaks of the Himalayas glancing at us.
It was a scene out of a moving canvas & we were all the characters of the play. While the conditions tested our mettle, we defied all odds & made it to the peak exactly after 3 hours of climbing through the rock.
