The journey became something like this as here we were somewhere at the midpoint of this mountain peak of Mt. Patalsu which was an expedition on which we were, and our plan was to hike an unknown peak called Mt. Dragon Peak that I named as it looks like at I was not even sure that anyone has ever submitted this mountain peak in the past so we just decided to explore this magical place and the journey look something like this.

It was guys kind of the midpoint of the expedition and from here we could see the entire Kullu valley and the mountain peaks of Pir Panjal Himalayan range and even the peaks of Dhauladhar himalayan Ridge at this point we were somewhere in the middle of the Kullu valley and the views from here they were just insane, We could see the non-tropical zone (NTZ) where no trees grow and we can see the last trees of the woods and we could see the green meadows and this blue sky above us filled up with Beautiful clouds.

Guys this post is about the descending of our hiking of Mt. Dragon peak as in the past I have shared posts about exploring this magical place in the Himalayas and naming it the Mt. Dragon Peak but this post was particularly that time of around 4 PM and after that when we descended the mountain and the whole journey which took us around nine hours which we completed in just three hours of descend it was really very difficult task guys to just go down and save our lives as at night we were not not even prepared that how we would camp as we did not carry any of the equipment whatever we carried was just enough supplies for just a single day hike.


The setting Sun

It was around 4:30 PM in the evening guys when we finally started our descent from Mt. Dragon Peak and the summit of Mt. Dragon peak the sun was just about to set as here in this region when the sunlight goes down the whole region becomes dark as there is no sight of light at this pace so we need to hurry up so that we could reach at the jungle portion and the wood so that we can make our way beyond that as there even were wild animals such as himalayan Bear which was the danger for us.

IMG_9184.jpeg
Temperature at this place at this particular time was around 4°C and the sunlight was directly shivering on the grass it was really a peaceful moment guys and I really love this place and just wanted to stay here for a little bit more time but we all need to hurry up so that we can make a journey to the road and Goa back to our home and reach home safely.

This place was called Shagadung and it was really very beautiful meadows, usually this place was considered to be an ancient campground of the Himalayan Shepherds where they used to gaze their Sheep and and this whole place had abundance of little grass which the Sheeps love to eat and this place also provided the most peaceful use of the whole valley and it was really at peaceful place guys just hidden somewhere in the Pir Panjal himalayan range.

There were just few minutes left for the sunset and just in few minutes the place will turn it into darkness we have to hurry as time we have with us was very less and we need to rush so we just did speed hike and speed designed with using local himalayan techniques of just running down the mountain and made it half the way point.

It was really very astonishing as we could see right in front of us there was the setting sun but just behind as there was little bit of sunlight left and it seemed like that it was a picture of early morning but it was the picture of just few minutes left for the sunlight at this place.

IMG_9198.jpeg
I always has to wonder since my childhood that how there is light sunlight at the top of the mountain and I finally got to know that these were the mountain peaks and these are the places where till the last sunlight stays but eventually the whole place turns into darkness.

IMG_9189.jpeg


IMG_9193.jpeg
The last sunlight was just shimmering on these meadows making the colour of these meadows kind of golden and grey it was really very peaceful guy is really very soft grass and for a second I thought that I could stay here for the rest of my life it was that peaceful I captured as many photographs as a "so that I can share these pictures with you guys and even you guys could get to know about these places that exist in the Earth"

I was so and so grateful guys I literally had no idea that I could see such wonderful places during my expedition to Mt. Patalsu Peak. Where we eventually landed upon hiking a different mountain and experiencing and exploring a different place exploring Mt. Dragon Peak

IMG_9191.jpeg
Guys reaching till the halfway point and we were closer to the jungle the tropical zone where the vegetation grows it took us near about one hour from descending the summit of Mount Dragon Peak till this point called Shagadungh. To be very honest guide it it was really really very peaceful moment guys and the whole journey felt like running on the weather though there were many obstacles but genuinely saying the views and exploring the heaven seems so and so peaceful to me and all my tiredness just vanished away. Still remember each and every moment of my expedition guys whenever I see these pictures I cherish all the memories and I think I have stored all of these memories in my mind which would stay throughout my entire life.

The Last Lake, Says Goodbye!

IMG_9197.jpeg
Just time when the place turned into darkness out of nowhere I saw a little lake really very little and which acted as the main source of water for these animals and these wild horses at this place maybe it was their place of fetching water and this water was from the snow last year right in front of us we could see the mountains of Dhauladhar range and this mountain peaks were covered with snow and we could see that there were lot of glacier bodies.

We literally had no time to stop at these places so I captured these photographs while I was speed hiking so guys that's all for today I hope you liked it.

There's no one? Absolutely no one? Amazing! This would be great for mental health for an introvert like me. Good to see the photos.

Yes, @rem-steem there was literally no one at the moment! Not even the Himalayan Shephards.

That's great 🤩

The place is beautiful, I myself always enjoy the beauty of the sky and the moment of sunset. The view of the place is also very attractive, the view of the weather below from the high place of the hill is beautiful. Best regards

Thanks a lot @omor11 So glad that you liked it. :)
