Mountains Calling

A leap into the unknown India

*Mountains Calling* I visit India every year during my summer vacation. I always look forward to travelling there as it is the monsoon season at that time which is July and August. It is blissful and I feel alive. Each drop I feel flourish me into a new person and cleanses my mind. Last year, when I visited me and my cousins planned to go for a trip to the mountains. We planned to travel on bikes and it was just simply beautiful. The fresh breeze blowing on my hair, least bothered of how it tangles my hair. I loved every bit of the hour and as we got closer to the destination it was getting more colder and wetter. The place where we went was called "Wagamon". It is small place but it is tourist destination in Kerala, India. And, near to it there are waterfalls and forests. The place itself gives you a vibe closer to nature. We reached up the mountains and the view was just breathe taking. We all sat there for hours enjoying the weather and feeling alive. Even though we were so tired after 8 hours of our bike ride. It was worth it and the view just made us forget it all. It started raining then and we still sat there enjoying every moment of it and feeling the raindrops is a inner opening or healing feel. I love rain and I enjoy riding when it rains too. This trip was a small trip but a memorable one as I felt closer to those mountains calling and would dream waking up to that view every single day.
