Experiences of Adventure are key to my happiness particularly in the closeness of Nature and Mountains. "Mountains"- the word instantly strike the mind with dense trees and ice secured land. but believe me, it resembles Nightmare, A never forgotten experience to me and memories of it gives me goosebumps. It was a season of summer of 2017 I had to lead a group of learners to a peak of 5000 meters "Brigulack" - A frozen lack in the vicinity of Manali. All are keen to experience Ice that may have buried tragedies or memories they never talked about. we drive to gulaba valley by vehicle than have to start with feet. The cluster was heading skyward into dark trees with the hope of sight of ice flecks has to continues about 5 hours. GPS didn't work in these dark trees. Only I could do is follow the locals and seek help with two-way radio from the base, gives a feel of the real mountain man. Hours passed, the ground was evaporated into native forest trees, growing skyward and dense as we drew closer. On the term of the trek, buddies were occupied in clicking memories and that sometimes bothers me considering time limits. The run was astounding and lugubrious at the same time with darkness gathering at the horizon. I was alone with my thoughts and fear. I could see dark storm clouds looming. However, I tried to drown those thoughts with the commotion of our quest. Sighting a small-scale field bounded by woods we conclude to pitch our tents for the night stay. Heat read started tumbling under zero and microscopic flakes of snow started appearing from sky submersing into our meal in dishes constantly booming volume and as of my stresses. I order pals be settled under tents and in one in each shelter must wakeup to wipe off snow gathered on the tent. Some started yelling as extreme weather and cold. I was advised from base to not let her fall asleep. it was also extreme for me as one secret has to reveal that I was first-time seeing such conditions but as a leader to keep others confident I was not supposed to reveal this that time. Passing miserable night a ray of hope falls from the east as the sky had painted itself. deciding on heading back instead of moving to goal seeing weather ahead. News had appeared that it was the birthday of one among us. to lighted situations, we made a snow cake with a topping of snacks and chopped with ice axe providing him with a different birthday celebration ever. thereafter we have to decline. gives us all joy after seeing our vehicles after long descend. taking lots of memories and experience wit us......
