I remember the time when I and my friend Shaurya went to a paragliding session. So, there we were, riding the adrenaline wave of an escapade when a sudden weather twist brought us to an impromptu landing on a mystic mountain. The fog was so thick you could almost taste the mountain air. And just when we thought things couldn’t get wilder, a shepherd emerged from the mist, warning about leopards and bears!
With our GPS acting up, we decided to channel our inner explorers and thought of hunting down this rumoured hot water spring somewhere on the mountain. GPS or not, we were on a mission. We decided to spend the night alongside the spring- A spontaneous decision to camp on the mountain top. There we found an abandoned hut marred by the blows of time. Exhausted and thinking we could catch some sleep, we tried to nap but the night had other plans. With temperatures dropping below zero, a makeshift fire kept us company.
