Legends and myths about trees

Trees in Buddhism (3)

Sal tree (Shorea robusta) – the Nirvana

In Buddhism, there is an important day called 'Sanbutsuki (3 anniversaries of the Buddha)', which commemorates three major milestones in the Buddha's life.

These are Buddhist rituals of the Nativity on 8 April, when Buddha was born, the Jodo-e (becoming a Buddha) on 8 December, when he attained enlightenment, and the Nirvana on 15 February, when he passed away.

The Buddha's death is believed to have occurred on 15 February of the lunisolar calendar in China and Japan, and in many places it is now held on 15 March.

According to Buddhist tradition, the Buddha was lying between a pair of sal trees when he died:

Then the Blessed One with a large community of monks went to the far shore of the Hiraññavati River and headed for Upavattana, the Mallans' sal-grove near Kusinara. On arrival, he said to Ananda (Ref1), the chosen disciple, "Ananda, please prepare a bed for me between the twin sal-trees, with its head to the north. I am tired, and will lie down. (DN16; Nirvana Sutra)"

When the Buddha died in Kusinara, there were 4 or 8 sal trees on the 4 corners of his bed. They were said to have bloomed at the same time, then quickly withered and turned white, just like a flock of cranes.

In Buddhism, the brief flowering of the sal tree is used as a symbol of impermanence and the rapid passing of glory. The sal tree is also said to have been the tree under which Kondana and Vessabhu, respectively the fifth and twenty fourth Buddhas preceding Gautama Buddha, attained enlightenment.

The sal tree (shorea robusta, sāla, shala, sakhua, or sarai), is a species of tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae. The tree is native to India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Tibet and across the Himalayan regions.

The sal tree is mythologically classified as a 'tree of life', symbolising resurrection, rebirth and rejuvenation, but in Buddhism it is one of the three most sacred trees, symbolising parinirvana, as the Buddha died under two sal trees in a row.

The three most sacred Buddhist trees are:

Ashoka tree: the tree where the Buddha was born (Ref).

Bodhi tree: the tree where the Buddha attained enlightenment

Sal tree: the tree where the Buddha died.

木にまつわる伝説・神話

仏教の樹木 (2)

沙羅双樹 (ｻﾗｿｳｼﾞｭ) 〜涅槃会 (ねはんえ)

仏教には、ゴータマ・ブッダの生涯における3つの大きな節目を記念する「三仏忌 (さんぶつき)」という大切な日がある。

それが、ブッダが生まれた4月8日の降誕会 (こうたんえ)、悟りを開いた12月8日の成道会(じょうどうえ)、そして入滅した2月15日の｢涅槃会(ねはんえ)｣。

ブッダの入滅は中国や日本では旧暦2月15日とされ、現在は3月15日に行なわれているところが少なくない。

また、仏教の伝統によると、ブッダは入滅したとき、一対の沙羅双樹 (ｻﾗｿｳｼﾞｭ) の間に横たわっていた。

その後、大勢の僧侶たちの中から選ばれたアーナンダ（参照1）はヒラニャーヴァティ川の向こう岸に行き、クシナラ近くのマッラ族の沙羅樹の林、ウパヴァッタナへ向かった。到着すると、ブッダはアーナンダに言った。「アーナンダ、2対の沙羅双樹 (ｻﾗｿｳｼﾞｭ) の間に、頭を北に向けた寝床を用意してください。私は疲れているので、横になります。(DN16; 大般涅槃経)」

ブッダがクシナガラで死去したとき、臥床の四辺に4双8本の沙羅双樹 (ｻﾗｿｳｼﾞｭ)があった。時じくの花を咲かせ、たちまちに枯れ、白色に変じ、さながら鶴の群れのごとくであったという。

仏教では、沙羅双樹 (ｻﾗｿｳｼﾞｭ)の木の短い花は、無常と栄光の急速な通過の象徴として使用されることもある。また、沙羅双樹 (ｻﾗｿｳｼﾞｭ) は、ゴータマ・ブッダに先立つ5番目の仏陀であるコーナニャーと24番目の仏陀であるヴェッサブーが悟りを開いた木であると言われている。

沙羅双樹 (ｻﾗｿｳｼﾞｭ)はフタバガキ科の樹木の一種で、インド、バングラデシュ、ネパール、チベット、ヒマラヤ地方に自生している。

沙羅双樹 (ｻﾗｿｳｼﾞｭ)は神話学的には復活・再生・若返りの象徴である「生命の木」に分類されるが、仏教では二本並んだ沙羅の木の下で釈尊が入滅したことから般涅槃の象徴とされ、仏教三大聖樹のひとつである:

無憂樹: 釈迦が生まれた所にあった樹木（参照）

印度菩提樹：釈迦が悟りを開いた所にあった樹木

娑羅双樹：釈迦が亡くなった所にあった樹木

my thoughts on religion that nobody asked for :)

Like many Hindu children, I had my annaprashan (a first rice ceremony) at 7 months old. Bengalis tend to believe that odd months (5 and 7) are particularly auspicious times to hold such ceremonies for baby girls. Conversely, baby boys would have their annaprashans on even months. Immigrating to Canada left us in a desperate search for community and companionship, the best place to find this, of course, was by connecting with any given Hindu Society in any given county. I remember attending various pujas for various deities, having a shallow understanding of their lores and mythologies, and learning the different songs and hymns used to worship them to sing on a stage after the evening prayers. 

Scindia Kanya Vidyalaya, the girls-only boarding school that I attended for 5th and 6th grade when we lived in Gwalior had a 97% Hindu majority student body. We celebrated the usual holidays, of course, though this time the performances and sermons were more spectacular, and were held in an auditorium instead of a rented out church basement. We were given days off from our classes, special meals, and were able to wear clothes and accessories that were not a part of our uniforms. Despite all of the pomp and circumstance, I can’t seem to remember exactly why we were celebrating these holidays. I haven’t attended a formal puja in 6 years. 

When I was around 7, I remember a particularly eclectic aunty showing up to a Bengali function. She had just flown in from her travels around Nepal, proudly proclaiming that she was a newly converted Buddhist. From her purse she pulled out a Sanskrit prayer book filled with Buddhist chants that she could not read. She had English transcriptions of each syllable under each line that told her how to pronouncers each phrase and which words to stress and not stress. Regardless, she made a show of praying aloud in front of everyone before dinner, and vowed to learn how to read Sanskrit as a step in her path to enlightenment. 

Many of the other guests were not particularly impressed by her, but my mother was taken immediately. She asked the aunty where she purchased her copy of the Vinaya Pitaka and was immediately gifted the spare one which had been kept in her bag in case she was asked this very question. For six months afterwards, my mom would pray every single morning and every single night, chanting those same repetitive lines over and over and over again, buying more books with insights into the teachings of Gautama. She however, did not need handwritten English transcriptions. She would follow up those prayers with a solid 20 minutes of silent meditation, and would break that silence to scold me every time I tried to distract her. I can’t recall exactly when she stopped praying, and I can’t find any of those books that she bought in the house today. 

That same year, she became friendly with our neighbours, whose names I cannot remember. What I can remember is the smell of khoresh fesenjoon the mother would make while preparing for Iftar during the days she would babysit me after school while my mother was at work. She taught me how to determine which direction north/northeast was when praying, explained Mecca to me, how it was the holiest, most sacred piece of land in the universe, and shook me awake when I would fall asleep on the prayer rug. I once asked her if she was bald under her hijab, she then asked me if I was empty in the head. 

The  language they spoke, the way they kneeled down to pray, and the kameezes and kurtas and saris they would wear for religious holidays all bore a striking resemblance to Hinduism for me, at that age I don’t even think I thought of them as different religions. But there was something much more intimate, much more profound that I could sense in the way that they prayed. For years afterwards I would dream of Mecca as a magical, spiritual, fantastical city with glittering stone pathways and magnificent towering marble architecture that could solve all of one’s problems and conquer all of one’s fears just by existing. I also remember vividly seeing gigantic orange dragons in those same dreams. To this day I cannot draw any correlation between the two, but whenever I think of Islam, I think of dragons. 

In 2015, shortly after we moved back to Canada, my mother and I were baptized. At the time there were no Hindu societies in the Drayton Valley-Devon area, but there was one single Multicultural society. Once again in search of community we joined it immediately. The president of the Multicultural society, Bharti Khulisia, was an Indonesian woman of Indian descent who had lived in Drayton Valley for over 15 years. She was married to a foul-mouthed (though well-meaning) man named Dennis who has some sort of generic but lucrative job in the trades. Bharti Aunty told me that I reminded her of her granddaughter, and told my mother that she reminded her of herself when she was younger. Immediately, we were hooked. She was also a devout Christian who had gone on missions across South America. She would take my mom to church on most Sundays, who began taking me shortly after. I remember being annoyed at having to stand during the 20 (twenty!!!) minutes of singing at the beginning of each session, and otherwise being mostly indifferent towards the sermons. I did enjoy the post-church barbecues, though. 

Months after we began attending church, Bharti Aunty convinced my mother to get us both baptized for reasons that I can’t quite recall (again). I had to write a small speech about finding Christ, was dunked into a hot tub of cold water at some sort of ceremonial hall, and was given a free t-shirt to change into and a baptismal certificate afterward. Neither of which I can find today. 

When I started making my own money, I bought copies of each religious book and scanned them over again to see if anything would resonate, if anything would stick. The Quran (the Hindi translation, sorry), the Bible (which I skimmed, admittedly), the Bhagavad Gita (took me a solid eight months to get through that thing), and the Vinaya Pataka (I’ll get around to reading the other two Patakas eventually) were all profound in their own respective ways, all evoked emotion and revelation, all managed to mould and shape my morality, and all seemed to kill my perception of what I thought God was. The problem that I had not anticipated was that everything, in fact, had stuck. 

Fortunately by then, I had discovered mathematics. The insurmountable weight that was taken off my shoulders when I realized that everything was a statistical anomaly and/or prediction, when billions upon billions of years of physics and chemistry and biology happily worked together to create the world that we live in, that the reason we are here on this earth, asking these questions and contemplating these concepts is simply due to the unknowable mathematical coding of the universe that dictated the consecutive major events that gave us consciousness in the first place, cannot be overstated. It was so immensely freeing to place all of my beliefs onto something far greater and far more complex than I could ever fathom, something so beyond me that I didn’t even need to fully understand it to know that it was there. To believe in something unshakable, to base my beliefs in something that surpassed the powers and expectations of any being on earth. To read through my math textbooks, to listen to TED-Talks in order to gain insight and clarity on my silly little mortal problems. 

But what if I’m wrong? What if there is a God? And what if they are angry at me, positively incensed at me for denying them completely? Do I place my bets based on the statistical evidence of how likely it is for a single religion to be true? If I do end up in hell, will I be satisfied that I remained steadfast to my beliefs or will I spend an eternal punishment being regretful that I had not subscribed to the correct one?

Isn’t questioning your faith one of the biggest components of being faithful anyways?

Mustang Region: A Journey Through Nepal’s Hidden Desert Landscape

Nestled between the towering peaks of the Himalayas, the Mustang Region is one of Nepal's best-kept secrets. This remote, culturally rich area offers travelers a unique blend of adventure, history, and stunning landscapes that feel more like Tibet than Nepal. Known for its arid desert terrain, centuries-old monasteries, and ancient caves, Mustang is the perfect destination for adventure travelers and trekkers seeking a quieter, off-the-beaten-path experience.

Let’s explore why the Mustang Region is a bucket-list destination for anyone craving a once-in-a-lifetime trekking adventure!

Why Explore the Mustang Region?

The Mustang Region stands out for its surreal, almost otherworldly landscape and rich Tibetan culture. Unlike the lush green valleys found in other parts of Nepal, Mustang’s landscape is dry and rugged, with shades of red and brown rock formations that stretch as far as the eye can see. Here’s what makes Mustang a must-visit for trekkers and adventure travelers:

1. Unique Desert Landscape of the Himalayas

In the Mustang Region, you’ll trek through dramatic cliffs, deep gorges, and rock formations, giving it an almost Martian feel. The region’s desert-like terrain, rare in the Himalayas, offers an experience entirely different from the green valleys of other Nepalese treks. The trails wind through narrow canyons and barren plains, with snow-capped peaks in the background, creating a stunning contrast that photographers love.

2. A Gateway to Tibetan Culture

Historically, Mustang was part of the Tibetan Kingdom, and that influence is alive and well today. Most people in the Mustang Region practice Tibetan Buddhism, and you’ll encounter ancient monasteries, colorful prayer flags, and spiritual landmarks along the way. Lo Manthang, the walled capital of Upper Mustang, is a highlight, with its preserved palaces and ancient monasteries. It’s a place where you can immerse yourself in Tibetan culture, history, and spirituality without leaving Nepal.

3. Trekking Through History: The Caves of Mustang

One of Mustang’s most fascinating aspects is its mysterious caves, many of which are over 2,000 years old. Found high in the cliffs, these caves were once home to early settlers and are believed to have been used as meditation and burial sites. Exploring these caves offers a unique look into the history of Mustang and adds an exciting archaeological aspect to the trek.

Highlights of the Mustang Region Trek

A trek through the Mustang Region is filled with incredible moments. Here are some highlights you can look forward to:

Kagbeni Village: Known as the gateway to Upper Mustang, Kagbeni is a charming village with stone houses, winding alleys, and traditional Tibetan chortens. It’s a great spot to soak in the unique Mustang culture and enjoy views of Nilgiri Peak.

Lo Manthang: The ancient walled city of Lo Manthang is a cultural gem. Once the capital of the Mustang Kingdom, it’s home to ancient monasteries, colorful prayer flags, and even a royal palace. It’s one of the last places where Tibetan culture remains untouched by modern influence.

Muktinath Temple: A sacred site for both Hindus and Buddhists, Muktinath is famous for its eternal flame and 108 water spouts. Many travelers find it a spiritual highlight of the Mustang trek.

Marpha Village: Known as the “apple capital” of Nepal, Marpha is famous for its apple orchards and delicious apple cider. This picturesque village is a great place to relax and enjoy the views.

When to Visit the Mustang Region

The Mustang Region has a unique climate, which makes it accessible even during the monsoon season (June to August) when other trekking regions in Nepal are less ideal. Protected by the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, Mustang stays relatively dry, making it a great summer destination. However, spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are generally considered the best times to visit for clear skies and comfortable temperatures.

Essential Tips for Trekking in Mustang Region

Whether you’re a seasoned trekker or a first-time adventurer, here are some tips to help you make the most of your journey through Mustang:

Get the Required Permits: Mustang is a restricted area, so you’ll need a special trekking permit to enter Upper Mustang. Trekking agencies like Trek Me Nepal can help arrange all permits and logistics, making the process hassle-free.

Prepare for High Altitudes: Parts of Mustang reach altitudes over 4,000 meters (13,000 feet), so it’s essential to pace yourself and stay hydrated. Take your time acclimatizing, especially in higher areas like Lo Manthang.

Pack for Varied Conditions: Although Mustang is known for its dry climate, temperatures can vary widely. Days are warm, but nights can be chilly, so pack layers to stay comfortable. Essentials include a warm sleeping bag, sun protection, and sturdy trekking boots.

Respect Local Customs: The Mustang Region is culturally sensitive, and local customs and traditions are deeply respected. Always ask for permission before photographing people or religious sites, and be mindful of local dress codes, especially near monasteries.

For travelers and trekkers, Kathmandu is the gateway to the Himalayas, the start of countless trekking adventures, and the heart of Nepal’s fascinating history and spirituality. Whether you’re gearing up to hike or exploring Nepal’s rich heritage, Kathmandu promises a unique adventure.

Exploring Kathmandu’s Cultural Treasures

Kathmandu is home to some of the most iconic sites in Nepal, with each one offering a peek into the country’s deep-rooted history and spiritual practices. Here’s a rundown of must-see spots for any visitor:

1. Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple)

Perched on a hill overlooking Kathmandu, Swayambhunath, or the Monkey Temple, is a mix of Buddhist and Hindu symbolism and one of the oldest religious sites in Nepal. The stupa is adorned with colorful prayer flags and Buddha’s iconic eyes, which watch over the city. Climbing up the stone steps can be a challenge, but the views of Kathmandu Valley from the top are absolutely worth it!

2. Boudhanath Stupa

One of the largest stupas in the world, Boudhanath is a sacred place for Buddhists and a hub of Tibetan culture in Nepal. The massive stupa is surrounded by a lively neighborhood filled with monasteries, shops, and cafes, and is especially beautiful at sunrise or sunset. Walking around the stupa’s base (always clockwise) is an experience you won’t forget, with the hum of prayer wheels and flickering butter lamps adding to the atmosphere.

3. Pashupatinath Temple

Pashupatinath is one of the most sacred Hindu temples, dedicated to Lord Shiva, and sits by the banks of the Bagmati River. The complex includes dozens of temples, shrines, and ghats where daily rituals and cremation ceremonies take place. While non-Hindus cannot enter the main temple, visitors can still observe from across the river and experience the temple’s spiritual energy.

4. Kathmandu Durbar Square

Kathmandu Durbar Square is a must for anyone interested in history. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is filled with ancient palaces, courtyards, and temples, each with intricate carvings and historical significance. The square was once the royal palace for the kings of Nepal, and it’s also where you’ll find Kumari Ghar, the residence of the Living Goddess, a young girl believed to be a deity in human form.

The Buzz of Thamel

Thamel is Kathmandu’s main tourist hub, a lively district packed with everything a traveler could need. It’s known for its narrow, winding streets lined with trekking shops, local craft stores, cozy cafes, and restaurants serving both local and international food. Thamel is also a popular area for nightlife, with rooftop bars, live music, and plenty of chances to meet other travelers. If you’re looking to stock up on gear for a trek or pick up souvenirs, Thamel is the place to go.

Beyond Kathmandu: Day Trips to Bhaktapur and Lumbini

For those looking to explore beyond Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Lumbini make for fantastic side trips.

Bhaktapur

Just a short drive from Kathmandu, Bhaktapur is a medieval city that feels like stepping back in time. Known for its well-preserved architecture, Bhaktapur is famous for its stunning temples, courtyards, and unique craftsmanship. Bhaktapur Durbar Square is the main attraction, filled with pagoda-style temples and palaces. Other highlights include Nyatapola Temple, the tallest pagoda temple in Nepal, and Pottery Square, where you can see artisans creating clay pots by hand.

Lumbini

Buddhas birthplace Lumbini, is a sacred pilgrimage site and a tranquil escape from the bustling city. Located in southwestern Nepal, it takes a bit longer to get there from Kathmandu, but it’s well worth the journey. The peaceful surroundings, stunning temples from different Buddhist countries, and meditative gardens offer visitors a spiritual experience unlike any other. The Maya Devi Temple, marking the exact spot where Buddha was born, is the highlight, while monasteries built by countries like Japan, Thailand, and Germany add unique architecture to the area.

Festivals in Kathmandu: Celebrating Culture and Tradition

Kathmandu is lively year-round, but it truly comes to life during festivals. If you’re visiting during a major holiday, you’ll experience the city’s energy and spirituality on a whole new level. Here are a few festivals to know:

Dashain: This is Nepal’s biggest festival, usually celebrated in October. Honoring the goddess Durga, it’s a time for families to gather, fly kites, and celebrate with feasts and rituals.

Tihar (Festival of Lights): Often compared to Diwali, Tihar celebrates the bond between humans and animals. Each day is dedicated to different animals, including crows, dogs, and cows, and the city lights up with oil lamps and colorful decorations.

Holi: The festival of colors, Holi is a vibrant celebration of spring. Locals and visitors alike throw colored powders, dance, and enjoy festive music in the streets.

Practical Tips for Visiting Kathmandu

Stay Hydrated and Avoid Tap Water: Stick to bottled or filtered water to avoid stomach issues.

Dress Modestly: When visiting temples and religious sites, covering your shoulders and knees is appreciated. Removing shoes is required in some places, so be prepared.

Take It Slow: Kathmandu’s traffic and crowds can be overwhelming. Taking time to adjust to the pace will help you soak in the city’s charm without stress.

Hire a Local Guide: A guide can give you deeper insights into Kathmandu’s history, religion, and culture. Many guides are fluent in English, making it easy to understand the city’s rich background.

Why Kathmandu Should Be on Every Adventurer’s List

Kathmandu is more than just a stop on the way to the mountains—it’s a cultural adventure in its own right. From its ancient temples and spiritual energy to the bustling markets and vibrant streets of Thamel, Kathmandu offers a blend of history, culture, and exploration that stays with travelers long after they leave. And with nearby treasures like Bhaktapur and Lumbini, Kathmandu is the perfect starting point for an unforgettable journey into the heart of Nepal.

Whether you’re here for a few days or a few weeks, Kathmandu is a place that invites you to explore, connect, and experience Nepal’s beauty and culture to the fullest.

Day 4: Simikot to Hilsa via Helicopter, Then to Taklakot

The day begins with a helicopter ride from Simikot to Hilsa, a border town near the Nepal-China border.

Day 8: First Day of Kailash Kora

The Kora, a 52-kilometer circumambulation around Mount Kailash, begins early in the morning.

Pilgrims walk or ride ponies along the route, which is considered the most challenging part of the Yatra. The first day of the Kora ends at Dirapuk, where the group stays overnight.

Day 9: Second Day of Kailash Kora

The second day of the Kora involves crossing the Dolma La Pass, the highest point of the pilgrimage at 5,630 meters. The group then descends to Zuthulphuk, where they will rest for the night.

The final leg of the Kora concludes as the group returns to Darchen and then drives back to Taklakot for an overnight stay.

Day 11: Return Journey

The group begins the return journey by driving to Hilsa, crossing the border, and taking a helicopter ride back to Simikot.

From Simikot, they fly to Nepalgunj and then onwards to Lucknow, where the Yatra officially concludes. Essential Tips for Pilgrims

Physical Fitness: Although the helicopter route is less demanding, it is still advisable for pilgrims to undergo a basic health check-up and engage in light physical exercises before embarking on the Yatra.

Packing Essentials: Warm clothing, comfortable footwear, personal medications, and necessary travel documents are crucial for a safe and comfortable journey.

From the towering peaks of the Himalayas to the tranquil temples and vibrant cities, there is so much to explore that makes Nepal famous. Here are the top 10 places in Nepal that you absolutely can't miss on your visit.

1. Kathmandu Valley

Kathmandu Valley, the cultural heart of Nepal, is home to several UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The bustling streets of Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur are filled with ancient temples, palaces, and courtyards. One of my most memorable experiences here was exploring the narrow alleys of Bhaktapur, where every turn revealed stunning architecture and vibrant local life.

2. Pokhara

Pokhara is a serene city known for its stunning natural beauty. The calm Phewa Lake, with the reflection of the Annapurna range, is a sight that leaves you in awe. I remember taking a peaceful boat ride on the lake during sunset, feeling a deep sense of tranquility as the mountains turned golden.

3. Chitwan National Park

For wildlife enthusiasts, Chitwan National Park offers a chance to see rhinos, tigers, and elephants in their natural habitat. My visit to Chitwan included a thrilling jeep safari and an unforgettable elephant ride through the jungle. The sight of a rhino grazing just a few meters away was both thrilling and humbling.

4. Lumbini

Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Buddha, is a pilgrimage site for Buddhists worldwide. The peaceful gardens and ancient monasteries provide a sense of serenity. Walking through the Maya Devi Temple, where Buddha was born, I felt a profound connection to the history and spirituality of this sacred place.

5. Everest Base Camp

Everest Base Camp trek is a dream for many adventurers. The journey through the Khumbu region, with its breathtaking landscapes and welcoming Sherpa villages, is an experience like no other. Reaching the base camp and standing in the shadow of the world's highest peak was an emotional and triumphant moment for me.

The Annapurna Circuit is a trek that takes you through diverse landscapes, from lush subtropical forests to arid high-altitude deserts. The highlight of my trek was crossing the Thorong La Pass at 5,416 meters, where the stunning panoramic views left me speechless and filled with a sense of accomplishment.

7. Bandipur

Bandipur is a charming hilltop town that offers a glimpse into traditional Nepalese life. With its preserved Newari architecture and stunning mountain views, Bandipur is a place to slow down and soak in the local culture. I loved wandering through the town's cobbled streets and interacting with the friendly locals.

8. Rara Lake

Rara Lake, the largest lake in Nepal, is a hidden gem in the remote northwest. The crystal-clear waters surrounded by pine forests and snow-capped mountains create a magical setting. Camping by the lake under a star-filled sky was one of the most peaceful nights I've ever experienced.

9. Upper Mustang

Upper Mustang, with its unique Tibetan culture and dramatic landscapes, feels like a journey back in time. The ancient monasteries and cave dwellings carved into cliffs are fascinating to explore. The trek through this remote region was challenging but incredibly rewarding, with each day revealing new and awe-inspiring vistas.

10. Gosaikunda

Gosaikunda is a sacred alpine lake for both Hindus and Buddhists. The trek to Gosaikunda is challenging, but the sight of the pristine lake surrounded by rugged mountains is worth every step. I remember the overwhelming sense of peace and spiritual energy as I stood by the lake, offering a prayer for safe travels.
