Somewhere around 15 Minutes Straight up North towards the Hallan Valley.
Manali Himachal Pradesh, 175129.
A beautiful Morning.
Julley Everyone,
A beautiful morning out here somewhere wondering around the Magical Kullu Valley of Himachal Pradesh, Northern Himalayas. Calling it a beautiful one as it is one among! And guys today I will be taking you along with me in a journey and showing you a place that even I was not aware of that I discovered on my random morning short hike around the Hallan Valley of Manali Himalayas.
The Begining.
9:37 AM
*The Shilla Hallan Rd.*
Starting it as early as we could, even though the time after 9 AM seems seems a lot but as here in the mountains waking up as early as 6 AM and getting ready by 8 AM is quite a task I would say as it was really cool morning over here as the snow has just rightly melt it few days before. And beauty of the whole place seems as pure as it "just like the endless sky and the greens in the nature that could be seen right in front of us as here we were just wondering around the Shilla Hallan Road that led to the three villages this corner of the valley.
Just in order to reach at this particular portion it took us more than 30 to 40 minutes when we reached at this portion of the mountain and the valley where the road looked something just like this totally crazy and the exact location was 1 km is before Baragran village.
It is really hats off to the department when the road was constructed as it was just by the side of the mountain and the mountain not just forming up of the soil but literally the hard rocks through which this road was contracted many years ago by just breaking the rocks away and forming this pathway. Even though the water used to fell down from these rocks I don't know from where but it was just feeling down the road it looked like that the place was just running though the water was not that much but still it was falling down. It seems like that I was just walking through the tunnel which was half open and below us was flowing the Glacier Baragran Nalla.
Just on to a bank what is beautiful views of Mt. Jodo Peak. This place it really had a really crazy and beautiful vibe it look like just walking and getting inside the valley and getting deeper and deeper into it and getting away from these mountains and right in front of us were the big mountains that could be seen and thus we were somewhere in the never-ending chain of the mountains here in the Kullu Valley of Himachal Pradesh.
The Glecier River.
Right below us was this river flowing that had very little water flowing as the snow in the glecier was all frozen by which the whole flow was really very low.
The water in the river was all coming from the glecier which was just 6 Kms away from this particular place and that was the main orign of the river from which the water was flowing and later on entering to River Beas in Patlikuhal.
The Glecier what is formed up by collection of water from all around the valley of this particular corner of Hallan Mountain.
The water even was at a place by the side of the road where the river water where we could drink and it was really very cold guys it was freezing cold water and it was really very cold water directly from the melting of snow from the glacier the water had no impurities and had a lot of minerals and the natural ones.
This place was used from the ancient times to fetch water of the river but now there was a bit of the modifications made as there were these pipes through which water used to, as the earlier there used to be a pond a small one really very small pond through which people used to collect water just by the side of the road by not going down to the river as in summers the water in the river used to get higher and higher right now the river was at its 10% as all of the water was just frozen into ice in the glacier through which the water was coming through.
The Nature’s Illusion.
***
Calling it the natures illusion.
As while we were just wondering around I came to this particular portion a dense forest just tried in front of me which was really very dense and the trees in the whole forest they seem quite weird not of this place and not of this particular portion neither I have seen such vegetation here in the Himalayas do I have been wondered around quiet the whole portion of the valley.
The trees they were just totally green the grass grown quite a lot and the trees were quite dry and it felt like that they were just in their early spring face and the whole portion looked really very amazing and it felt like that I should just go inside and just wonder and wonder around this magical brown and green forest.
It was really a peaceful place guys and the elevation was quite a high and quite a lot to just climb in order to get into the forest and I thought why not just go inside and just let's see that where the pathway goes and capture the beauty of these beautiful places here in the Himalayas.
Even though it was the early spring time here in the Himalayas maybe that was the reason why the whole forest was just changing its colours just right before quite awhile when I was just wondering few kilometre is back the whole vegetation look totally different even you guys could distinguish between the photographs and it was the nature's illusion that just quarters and in a while just made me wonder around that I have been into a totally different place a totally different wonderland in this magical Earth.
After hiking for quite awhile I came across this particular portion where right in front of me I could see few of the rocks and it looked like that there used to flow a river and the river which was now no longer seen as the geography of the places that there should be a river flowing maybe hundred or 200 years ago there used to be a flowing river through the forest as such rocks are usually in the river belt which was totally very strange for such a place here in the mountains.
It even became the turning point for us as going beyond this portion it looked a bit dangerous and risky one because I think there might be wild animals in the forest and I thought let's not just mess around with the wild animals and let's not just go deep inside the forest without having much information about this place and I have thought about that.
I should first talk to the local person about the forest and know about this place and study a bit for a while and then go and planned adventure but it was a totally different experience and adventure for me that I went on today randomly out of nowhere and it was really very amazing moment that I wanted to share it with you guys through this post so I tried capturing as many photographs as a possible as I do and so that I can share as much information as I could and as much experiences that I could with you guys so that even you guys could see the hidden beauty of the Himalayas.
So that's all for today guys I hope you like that I have captured all of the photographs using my iPhone 12 and edited them and corrected them and bit of the cropping work I have done using iPhone photo editor so that I could share the best pictures with you guys about my experience about my expedition and about my journey about exploring such beautiful magical places in the magical Himalayas.
