On a dull rain day when we left the shores of maximum city, none of us would have imagined the sights we were about to see in the land called Spiti. I don’t know if I can call it a life changing experience yet but badly want it to be one.
When the night struck, we sat in absolute daze watching the Milky Way and countless shooting stars. Never felt so rich.
A bunch of city people roamed along the streets of this little remote place with no electricity for 11 days and none cribbed.
A picture perfect round rainbow around the sun that made us pinch ourselves in disbelief.
Monasteries older than 1000 years, surviving to tell their own stories.
The handsome villages that made us squeal in delight for the rustiness, the beauty and the humility.
The colors of Chandratal lake, where we realized that the shades of blue needs to rewritten.
Sitting in silence and watching the moon set itself against the mammoth muddy pile that we call the Himalayas and watching her blush in moonlight. Priceless.
The ferocious river, the mocking highways, the hanging structures, the narrow roads, the impending landslides, the high passes, the blue sky, the giggling waterfalls and the biting winds we had it all.
A journey which left us physically, mentally and emotionally humbled.
Spiti - the land where the Lord himself proclaimed "I have made Nature the queen here, respect her" and we humans bowed down and said "Let thy will be done forever and ever"
