Sittong & Rishop Trip by Eshan Kandar 22nd March, 2022 It was around 8 PM when we went for Sealdah station.. we reached there at 8:45 pm.. so, then I took my luggage, and my mom and dad took rest of the luggage then we walk towards the train but I noticed that the station is fully renovated then we walked back to our lobby S5. When I entered the train it was dark because the fuse was down.. Then at that moment Baban, Chandana aunty, Bappa kakai and Prasenjit kakai came. We got dissatisfied by seeing the dark compartment, at last the light came, we ate Misty-Sukh, Jolbhora misty and cakes. At 11 PM we fell asleep, the night was awesome. The breeze, the shaking train, my dream was awesome.. 23rd March 5:45 AM, I woke up and looked outside but there was nothing to see as it was foggy outside, at last everyone woke up.

Kedarkantha Trek

TREKKING INTO THE DOORS OF HEAVEN Watch the cover video: Still, it feels like yesterday. Actually, it was an impromptu journey to the Himalayas. Obviously, I was feeling a little bit jaded, exhausted from the mundanity of Work-Eat-Sleep-Internet life, so me and two of my college friends thought of escaping from the industrious life to the Himalayan paradise, a snowy trek to Kedarkantha. This trek is no doubt a potpourri of natural beauty and mythology. This is one of most popular snow treks in India. Do not mistake Kedarkantha as a place, it is a mood which is congested with the redolence of petrichor. The Himalayan beauty fits the bill for a perfect trekking destination.   Kedarkantha is the quintessence of serenity; no hullabaloo, no fuss, no uproar except the sweet notes of chirping.   The itinerary for the trek was something like this: ●        Day 1 Trek: Netwar (Gaichan Gaon) → Jalouta ●        Day 2...

Watch the cover video: Day 1 - 13-Mar-2016 We started our trek from Uttarey towards Achalley which is a constant uphill forest trail. It took us about 4/5 hours to reach Achalley , our first camp-site. Day 2 - 14-Mar-2016 Today’s trek would lead us to Kalijhar via Thulodhap . The first leg of the trek till Thulodhap is a gradual descent while the rest of the trail is a steep ascent till Kalijhar . Day 3 - 15-Mar-2016 The next day, we hiked to Phoktey Dara top early morning which is again a steep ascent of about 45-60 mins. Phoktey Dara certainly provides an enigmatic view of the entire range from Everest, Makalu & Lhotse , “the Sleeping Buddha” to the far-off mountain ranges in Bhutan. As it was too windy, we had to return to our camp early. Thanks to the clear sky the view from the tent was pretty magnificent. After having our breakfast, we s...
