26th of December 2021 it was we started our trip after our group of friends decided to start the new beginning of 2022 on greater heights ( The Himalayas ).
A true revealing experience and you may discover yourself in the process and leaving all the responsibilities behind, getting to see the beauty of nature, beautiful skies with plenty of stars we could only dream of seeing it in our hustle filled cities :)
You feel like you've pushed yourself to the extent you would never do otherwise. With a handful of good people and a proper guide you can truly get lost in the serenity of the mother nature, getting to know the stories of people you've met in the journey coming from different backgrounds and that gives you a different perspective towards life.
Here's the Prayer of Serenity to remember :
God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardship as a pathway to peace;
