Mountains
are a perennial source of joy to those who have eyes that can
appreciate beauties of nature. Nowhere does nature reveal her
charm in greater abundance than at green and flowering mountain
tops with transparent streams of water flowing down their slopes
or on snow clad hills where sunlight weaves its magic colour
into their virginal whiteness. To lover of mountains, the sound
of waterfalls is like the joyful clapping of merry primitive
dancers and the howling of night winds contains a musical
pleasantness, which surpasses the highly sustained rhapsodies of
man made organs. Lakes in high altitude, holding within their
cup-like mountainous enclosures the watery wealth of the
surrounding glaciers, treeless plateaus covered with rare
varieties of grass, plants and flowers and yawing chasm into
whose dark, unfathomable interior nature’s countless species of
animals and plants carry on their fight for existence, are
attraction so powerful and irresistible that no one can turn a
deaf ear to their call. These widely –scattered, ever- alluring
treasures of nature are the mountain lovers greatest inducement
to wander with a hungry heart in search of beauty and adventure
along the slopes of sky embracing heights. Walking or hiking
among mountains and peoples of the Himalayas is more than an
athletic experience. It is a voyage through the nature and
culture of the Himalayas: a trip that remains always alive in
the memories of anyone who takes it. Lovely images of dawn and
dusk, memories of evenings spent around the campfire or of
splendid views from cols and passes, acquaint us with radically
different moments of the life. Impulsively the man feel awakened
to protect the natural heritage of flora and fauna and the
ecology of the Himalayas. Someone once wrote that the
mountains and walking in them are schools of life.
The
present day common tourist, visiting Himachal remains confined
to urban centers like Shimla and Manali and hardly cares to
venture out in the lap of nature on the surrounding mountain
slopes. The tourist just shifts himself from one city to another
and goes back without finding the rejuvenation that a true
holiday promises. Plan to join us and we will show you the new
vistas of austere beauty of nature. These lush vistas are best
seen on foot with the slopes that are not too strenuous for the
lungs and legs. Mountain walking does not need any highly
specialized training, skill and equipment. One with a normal
health and will to explore the mountains will be able to get the
most of the activity programme. Walking and sojourning in
Himalayas with HIMALAYAN MOUNTAIN SOJOURNS is less dangerous and
more healthy, refreshing and rejuvenating than spending one’s
vacations in the busy humdrum life of the tourist cities like
Shimla and Manali.
//At
Himalayan Mountain Sojourns you camp at a suitable place, relax,
