6th May 2012: Though Our mobile called us at 4 am, but we were so tired that we can’t wake up so early. But at about 4:45 am, my brain wake up & be practical. At about 5am we are ready for the trekking.
Outside the dhaba, we found light moon light till then. Light fog also there. It was a romantic drawn. The road was not fully visible. After crossing 100-200mts it seems to me, that I can’t complete the trek. Amit also has same condition. But we did not stop. Slowly but steadily we walk.
The road is totally visible now. Just before to Sun rise. On our way we saw sun rise. Amit took as much pic as possible of the awesome sunrise. We found the each & every hill top is covered by Snow. I wanna fly to reach the hill top, but no way!!!
The road is manmade, One side hilly wall & other green meadow Or two side green meadow. By the on our way we can’t find any one. Only we two. There is some road side tea shop. They just opened their shop. Our first view the ice on the road, we surprised, We did not expect it. There were some road side hut shaped shelters. We found two hilly mice, they are very special as they don’t have any tail.
One side of the road is so green, we can compare it just like a our park on plain land but only difference is that this not flat instead of make an angel of 135 with the road. But other side there is rough hill. If ay one want to find the bottom, you can’t. Last 500mt is little bit tough. After crossing this tough road we found temple surrounded by fresh snow.
AMit Never view such snow before. He was so happy. Just put his fot print on ice & smile just like a school boy. We found ice is hanging from hill’s corner. I forget it’s geographical name, But remember that I read this type of formation in my school.
There is a “Kund” surrounded by snow. It’s an awesome view. Then we reached temple. There is mainly one temple made by rocks. Inside the temple 4-5 rocks covered by “haldi“ & “sindoor”. There is a shivalingam, but not same as we familer with, just like an rectangular rocks. Outside the main temple there are 5 small temple shaped huts, as per the temple priest these are 5 pandav’s temple. Two foot prints also there.The weather is too dry. My cheeks & lips started to bleeding. I forgot to use cold cream before starting.Any way we met a couple from Sweden. They told they completed the trek within 2 & half hour.
We 4 decided to go Chandrashila. There is a way near the temple. WOW!!!! The path is so dangerous. Only a narrow path one side is deep “khai”, There is so many chance to go down the hill. After crossing 200 mts max, the road is too rough & slippery. Actually It is a rocky wall little bit inclined. There was ice here & there. Once we found a thin plate of ice just like a transparent plastic cover & water flows inside that ice. It’s an awesome view. Here my leg slipped, I don’t know How did Amit manag to pick me. I don’t found any solid under my feet. Life time experience. Whenever I remember that situation, I don’t find any word, Just hug Amit.
Anyway, after crossing the wall, again a green meadow. Just like a picture, a green meadow, then there is a large gap, then rows of hills, each & every one ware a white snow saree, you can found black spot also which is some rocks, God know why they were not covered by Snow. We 4 people, only human beings. Nothing is there. That couple seat there, we continue our walk.
After some time, the road is covered with fresh white snow. Too much slippery. Again I slipped. Now we are only few hundred mts away from Chandrashila summit. but we decided not to go far, as if any one slipped, it will be risky as there is no option to resist yourself when you are falling.
We took rest there. An awesome experience. Before your eyes there are rows of hills, as sun rises up, sun light reflects some of hills, but fog covered others. Just now we found an hill, next moment that portion is purely white.
At about 8:30 we started to come back. This time we were little bit careless. So except follow the manmade road we follow inclined meadow to come down.
At about 11pm we reached chopta.But waited long for bus.Even we planned to go Gopeswar, but found no vehicles.At about 2pm we got a bus for Rudra prayag & reached Rudraprayag at about 4:30pm.We took a room on Kedarnath-Badrinath Yatriniwas & after a quick dinner we go to bed.
