About the Book

This book is a description of one such trek to Valley of Flowers and Hemkund Sahib in Garhwal Himalayas by enthusiasts. The book is not just a typical travelogue but it is more about observations, reflections and recollections of human endeavours. Every person visiting the Himalayas seeks a communion with nature opening new vistas of one's outward and inward voyage. The Himalayas with its mighty mountains, deep valleys, forests, rivers, flora and fauna enhances human sensibilities facilitating foray into depths of our understanding. The Valley of Flowers or Bhyundar Valley is a blessed land with many mythological stories. The most prominent being that after the revival of injured Lakshman in war against Ravan, Gods ushered flowers from Heaven onto Earth which turned into Valley of Flowers. The journey takes you on circuitous path panting and gasping for breath while climbing those heights of Himalayas. It certainly helps to peel off layers of ego, vanity and pride distilling yourself into pure human being. The flowers of different kinds that you see along the route and in the valley are so endearing that one loses oneself watching their beauty. It kindles those dormant emotions within each person of love, joy, understanding, respect and connect with the creation.Himalayan mountain range is dotted with places of pilgrimage, temples and various aashrams. I call them 'Temples of Faith' as entire population, culture and civilization have their roots in these places of worship. The mythological lores about these places have further entwined them into our social life with stories and beliefs. Gurudwara Hemkund Sahib is one such place of pilgrimage where Guru Govind Singh the tenth and last guru of the Sikhs is stated to have meditated here in his previous life. The route to Gurudwara Hemkund Sahib is steeper and longer than the route to Valley of Flowers. However it's the faith that motivates the people to visit such remote places. Why should you visit Himalayas? Apart from witnessing the wonders of God, it is more about journey within and seeking a self-conversation. Is it not possible to do the journey without visiting these places? Yes it is possible but we get so caught up in our routine life that we lose connect with our creator. So the call of Himalayas is more of connecting with Self and the God. Its Self Discovery!
