#winterchallenge is going on and I am having a lot of fun, firstly this challenge which is organized by @worldmappin and secondly traveling in winter. While writing posts is fun, the experience of being at the location of the post written by you is absolutely wonderful and amazing. Snowy roads, snowy mountains and my interview with my favorite mountains. I am getting all this together and what more do I need in life.
Let's go on this amazing trip which has started from Manali and is going towards Ladakh at our own speed. Talking about the last post, we had crossed the Baralacha pass whose height is 4850 meters. After crossing the pass, we have reached Bharatpur from where today I will tell you about the further trip. Today we will not cover much distance, we will just roam around the Baralacha pass from Bharatpur and come back to Bharatpur.
Whenever I come here, I remember the trek from Baralacha Pass to Chandratal in which once @neveen.jogta and I had escaped drowning in the Chandra River. Then once we had pitched a tent on the top of the pass and spent a night at such a height. I have a similar experience even today. The first snowfall of the season has happened all around, the entire Himalayas are covered under a blanket of snow. All kinds of greenery will now come alive from under the snow in the summer next year and will establish their supremacy again.
There is so much snow on the road here that the road is getting blocked due to traffic, long jams are being formed and people are constantly blowing horns. I think that people are not able to remain quiet at home and office, but why are people getting agitated even in the midst of mountains like paradise. There should not be noise and blowing horns in such a quiet place. Hearing the sound of horns, I get lost in the landscape visible outside the window. At a distance, I can see Mount Yunam Peak which is 6040 meters high. I remember I had a lot of fun when I summited this peak many years ago.
by the Meteorological Department once upon a time so that research could be done on the snow falling here, but they were completely unaware of the weather here and that year about 35 feet of thick snow fell in which the buildings built here collapsed and all the people of the Meteorological Department died. The fragmented pieces of that research can still be seen today. Chandra River originates from Baralacha Pass, which flows in the Lahaul Valley and meets Bhaga River in Tandi. Baralacha Pass is the pass that separates Ladakh from Lahaul.
Today we traveled about 60 km by car, we went to the pass whose height is 4850 meters, saw Mount Yunam which is 6040 meters, saw Chandra River from a very scary distance, stopped at Bharatpur and had good food and made our stay memorable. These valleys and mountains will always remain in my heart and I want to stop this moment and take it home with me. I wish I could always see these winter scenes like this and I could keep freezing like ice in the rewarding energy.
