A trek towards the Glacier – an ode to nature

The clearest takeaway from this adventure is the way I was within throughout the trek. Not an exact takeaway, but this is what remains even after four days. It felt calm, though tough or challenging at times, the views were completely compensating for everything else. The mountains! The nearer one gets to, farther it goes! It is as if an illusion in space and time. The feeling I got by witnessing the majestic beauty will remain with me for a long time. We were 7 people, took part in this act of pushing oneself to test our limits. We walked, talked, cooked and stayed together on a thundery rainy cool night amidst the rocky uphill, at the banks of Awa khad. Satchali was within 1 km, but I could not make it. The next morning lead us to the nearest glacier though. It was covered with ice, walkable – hollow watery, yet very strong. I am improving my ability to roam around freely. Yet what about many other things, like health/strength, mindfulness, and gratitude? I have been reflecting on these, there are sparks of changes, but I look forward to a day where I will be the happiest about all of it!
