Namaste 🙏 

Hope you all are doing great!

First of all, I would like to thank you all for all the love and support on my previous blog. Getting mentioned in #traveldigest is a huge accomplishment for me, and being in top three is something I really admire. Whenever my post gets mentioned in top three, I feel really satisfied, and I am really happy at that moment.

If you haven’t been through my last blog, I will be posting link to that below. This is going to be the continuation of my journey back home, so it is recommended to go through that one first.

### Sliding through the snowy cliff -

At the time, when we were hiking up the mountain, we didn’t know that this would be so difficult to get down as well. Lacking the snow gear, as we didn’t thought about getting so much up in The Mountain made our situation more difficult. As we didn’t had a good pair of shoes and waterproof clothing, it was kind of hard for us to save ourselves from the cold snow.

We were not able to get down while standing up as we were losing our balance because of the bad grip of our shoes. On the other hand, Mr Snow White, the dog was sliding down the cliff and having fun like a little child.

Seeing him doing that, we also thought of doing the same thing and we followed him in the photograph above. You can see my friend sliding down through the cliff, just like Mr. Snow White.

### Reaching the plain spot—

After crossing the most difficult part of this hike, we reached a little bit plane area that you can see in the photographs below. Before reaching here, one major incident took place in the cliff of the mountain, which I was not able to capture as we were really scared at that time.

While we were getting down from the cliff, laying down at the ground and sliding down, my friend lost his mobile phone. He realised it afterwards when we reached the plane area.

As I didn’t had a strong signal, and his phone was also in silent, finding it physically was the only option left, and so we started getting back towards the top of the mountain.

I was quite sure that he must have dropped it somewhere in the snow. The only thing I was frightened off, was that it must have been deep inside of the snow. After walking upward for about 15 minutes, I found it on the upper layer of the snow, shining, bright and reflecting the sunlight.

Mr. Snow White followed me along my journey towards finding the mobile phone. I kept my phone inside all the time as I was also afraid of losing my mobile phone, and I didn’t want to lose both the phones on the back trip towards the plane area.

When I was back this photograph of Mr. Snow White, having fun in the dried area around the snow. My friend thanked me for bringing his mobile phone back. It was a really difficult and 50-50 task.

### Passing through the narrow forest pathway-

After the plane spot, we were now in the middle of the forest and we had to cross this narrow path with cliff on the side and deep frozen snow. It was going to be a difficult task and it was also going to be a little bit dangerous task as falling from the cliff Would surely lead to a serious injury.

![IMG_1205.jpeg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmSa4iuGywHzWqRZ6CJxjDWaCUZvrb211nFEfWHds8Eajy/IMG_1205.jpeg)

Upon looking downwards, there was a lot of distance that was to be covered until we reached the camp one. It was going to be a difficult journey, but we were prepared to overcome it. This time, my friend kept his mobile phone securely as he was also scared of losing his mobile phone again.

![IMG_1207.jpeg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmZ6HhJUdAV6R5o1qz5f44C5TYy7pe6myKxBu9EcTqFW2E/IMG_1207.jpeg)


All the photographs that I captured, I captured really carefully. My hands were freezing, but I held my phone tightly so that I won’t lose it. You can see the photograph that how narrow the pathway was, and it was way too more dangerous than it is looking in the photographs with frozen Snow about my waist deep.

![IMG_1208.jpeg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmVDXbcdhg7k2fTMRv7V9PyA9RRuXJDTbxkjozcDTE56XG/IMG_1208.jpeg)

It was a really contrary situation when we looked up. We looked at the most beautiful view that one could ever seen in his life, and when we look down, it was a really dangerous roar, so it was a really contrast situation in which we were standing at that time. You can see that in the photographs too.

![IMG_1209.jpeg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmPenjmGvz52MjPjehuLUs3EGo1AyNWT5Qmcm2nQugyEdw/IMG_1209.jpeg)

![IMG_1211.jpeg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmX8JQ86T5QE6nzdLoDUGHB5pqBdR95N6YL4QbZYGqoGke/IMG_1211.jpeg)

It was going to be a little bit longer journey than it was on the way up as sliding down, the narrow pathway in between the woods was not a chance that we could take because of the dangerous Cliff on the other side. The only way that we could take was this narrow pathway, and that too with our bodies touched with the ground.

![IMG_1212.jpeg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmbyxZm8Wn6tspDKZci9NCYoh464AS3bu93TZJaeSr9CMU/IMG_1212.jpeg)

In reality, ground was about 3 feet deep than the exact place because of the snow. At this part of the forest, the snow was melting very slow and snow was also really well accumulated because of the slope.

![IMG_1214.jpeg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmSASxwrM82bDomzUiZKrpWH316woyrRgk9befYvBAmar3/IMG_1214.jpeg)

However, we kept on walking and we were about to reach the end of the woods. The camp was really near and reaching the camp means reaching the safe zone because from there onwards, the network coverage was also available and we were quite near to it.

I think that is it for today. I will be telling you guys about my journey ahead in the next blog.

Thank you for passing by.

Peace ☮️
