School trip+Mountains+Friends+Snow = FUN Unplugged. Our visit to Camp Himalayan.


It all started at Old Delhi railway station, though we had to wait an hour or so because the train was late but we could wait. There was enough to talk about (what was going to happen next and after that and so on). Anyway the train came at 12 in the night then we got on, said bye to our parents and eagerly waited for the train to start. It was hard to sleep with the excitement but I finally did in the end.................

Next day morning, i had to get up in a hurry and be ready at the train door and all of us had to be quick because it was like 2 minutes for 24 of us and baggage to get of a train! Anyway so we managed to get off at Kiratpur and got into the car for a 8-10 hour journey up into the mountains. The ride was very nice but long!!!!!!

When we reached Tirthan valley at around 4:00 and soon settled into our tents. After tea everyone was walking around the river that was next door but it was already starting to get cold. We had dinner and then took a small trek in the dark. When i came back I got into my tent and sleeping bag and went to sleep. It was cold in the night at a lowest 1.3 C. I was shivering ...................

Next day we had breakfast and the cars took our bags and we trekked 4 kilometres toCamp Himalayan

This was our final destination where we would stay the next 3 nights. We met Sumit uncle , the co-owner of Camp Himalayan.

The rest of the day we settled into our cottages, had lunch and they also had a small lounge so we were playing monopoly the whole time. In the night we had a bonfire and had soup and played atlas till dinner time. Dinner was really really yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The next morning we went to JALORI PASS !!!!! On the way to Jalori pass we stopped at a place called Gyaghi and saw Sumit uncles house and also played with his huge Alsatian dog Badshah. Then after that we got into the cars and carried on to Jalori pass.

We did see snow over there but the snow wouldn't compact into a snowball but it was a slope so it was fun sliding down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So the same day after 1 hour of playing we got into the cars and went to Banjara Retreat to have lunch.....
After lunch we went to a rock that was 10 metres high and we did rappelling there. Rappelling was fun and quite cool. In the evening we went back to Camp Himalayan. We had dinner and went to sleep......................

The next day we again went to Jalori pass but this time we trekked higher to 11,000 ft & there we found knee deep snow and it was amazing and somehow this snow we could compact and make into SNOW BALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were playing snowball fights like you couldn't imagine. It was awesome!!!!

We trekked back and had lunch at a dhaba at Jalori pass & then returned to Camp Himalayan. Later in the night we had a party.

First we had to write any question and answer. Then we had to write about our trip & then came the best part we divided ourselves into bands with chits and then we had to act as if we were in a concert with music playing behind us and the theme was the song Socha Hai from Rock On !!!!!!

It was real awesome fun and then for dinner there was yummy Chinese food. Then later after dinner we went to the lounge and had a fun activity. You remember we had to write any question and answer; well now we were randomly given the papers and we and it was like this..... One person said the question in his paper and the other said the answer written whatever it maybe it was really funny & anyway after that we went to sleep..........................
The next morning we had breakfast and sadly we had to leave.


So finally we left and after a rather long journey we reached Anandpur Sahib were we went to the huge Gurudwara and then went shopping then we left and went to Nangal Dam Railway Station and got onto Himachal Express to Delhi. We had a nice sleep and finally back to DELHI!!!!!

THE END..............
