The experience of Life: An Introduction

The trek to "The Valley of Flowers, Uttarakhand, India"  was indeed an experience of my life. This is my first experience in Himalayas area. I might be lost in words to explain my experiences. This series of blog is a small attempt to keep my memories alive ; Additional to help others who cherish to go there again!!!

Along with the trek experience, I would also cover other places where I travelled during this entire trip. There were so many learning during these 8 days journey starting from 18th August 2017 till 26th August 2017 - about the Himalayas,the mighty rivers, the terrain, the people, the culture , and finally the temples & Yogis who made the Himalayas famous.

The entire trip was experienced with the group of 11 friends including me, which i would call "The Group" for the entire series of blogs. I would mainly focus on the my personal experience and learning here.
I would like to thank the guides who were part of my trek to the valley. I would refer them as "The Lead" in this series.

I am planning to write one blog per day starting from 18th August when I landed at Dehradun airport.

I conclude this introduction with a small collage to set the theme for the blog.

The collage show the Pancha Bhoota, the five basic elements of experiences.
I would like to stress and focus upon these vital elements when i note my experience here.
