It all started with sunday morning when I decided to go for a day journey to dodhpathri,100kms outskirts of Srinagar city. the weather was sunny with April ending.it took nearly 5 local buses to reach the destination with 3 hours journey both sides.in buses,I met with local people's from city.their dressing sense ,their tone, their views and guide to the destination all set the prehand fire for the place as I hadn't seen the place just knew the route following the Google maps.as soon I reached the place ,it was covered with grass like meadow .wherever I could see,it was all green.I could see the people far away with cattles and sheep's ,children playing on streets ,small shops giving tea and snacks ,I could feel the place as close to my heart .as the talked to the people there ,they suggested me to visit a river nearby with water as chilled and white as crystal.i touched the water and could manage to have my feets in the water .then I saw a person with horse going up the mountains,I went to him and asked what to visit next ...he suggested me to go to top of mountain he belonged to gujjar family and he lives on top so,he suggested me to pay some money and I will take you to top.i went up for him .the road was hectic and horse was slipping on road.so I asked him I would walk with him .we reached in an hour on top of mountain and I could see he has a small house with many goats and sheeps.the mountain was green and I decided to go for some clicks .I lay on the grass there and felt the cold winds touching the face.at far I could see the snowy white mountains.after 2 hours on there, I realised its evening so packed up all n started to decend ....I could feel my feets are heavy ,my bag is moving up and down ,my camera is on safe hands .I decided to click a view and my DSLR lens slipped off and rolled down the hill ,I was running behind to catch it up BT it broke up and me too had a new dslr broken..I sat there for some minutes ,relaxed and again started the journey.upon decend,I saw the people gathered around a bonfire and playing some game and singing some music in kashmiri language.i sat there and listened them,could not got a word BT tone was pleasant . The sun was on set and it was beautiful .like sun was hiding in the mountains with Meadows forming the front of view. There I met with a boy ,asked him how to take a bus to Srinagar .he suggested to go by 2 kms and then take a direct bus.i walked by half a km and a person going by bike stopped and asked if you wish to go u can .I sat on the back seat and reached the spot .the bus was after 1 hour .I made the tickets and sat on the bench near to teastall .the small market was lightened up and people come there to buy vegetables and fruits in evening there.i started exploring the market ,there was kashmiri kahwa stall with many people trying it ,I went up for it and it was so good with yellow colour and one could see the saffron and other dry fruits in it .it was best drink that I could manage and it boosted my energy level to maximum.i sat on bus and it started ,quite a old generation bus with black smoke coming from behind.i reached after 3 hours home and it was quite a happy day to explore the unexplored.
