Julley Everyone,

A beautiful day out here in the Himalayas today as today it was a day I would say a bit special one where we decided to explore the traditional ancient camping ground of the shepherds that the people in the past used to travel the valleys without roads and they used to stay at the camping grounds like these which were till date now present in the mountains here that today I will be exploring and taking you guys along with me to this beautiful magical journey.

>We were not quite sure that where we was headed to but all that we had in mind was just to wonder around the mountain chains where I had few idea that in this portion I will be finding the camp grounds for sure this was totally a random journey random hike not about reaching the top of the mountain but that was going by the side of the nature and being in the nature and going through the history pages and these beautiful mountain valleys and exploring the moment.

So my friends as early as 6:37 AM this morning we started our journey we were at this place just around 17 km is before Manali and this was the mountain at the top of the village Bran and we just went on the random trails that we had an idea about and even the local people told us that these trains would take us to the top of the mountain where we would find the camp grounds.

*We started our expedition in an Alpine style where we just carried very few essentials with us in a small bag bag and we carried these plastic bottles where we could fill the freshwater that was coming from the mountains and we did that as here is a glimpse of my brother fetching water from the mountain.*

**There were a number of streams at this place where we could find water it was really very peaceful moment guys when we were just covering the distance up and nature was keeping ourselves going as whatever we needed was here in nature.**

Doubt taking much time and not even share share about that how early we would reach at the top of the mountain so we also covered the distance up as quickly as we got made our way through the trails that had these trails and at certain portions even the Trail just faded in the mountain maybe just because that very few people used to take and explore the places through these trails that once were used to cover the distance through the mountains in the ancient times.

*They're even worthies scars on the Trail maybe that was because of the wild animals maybe the bear that used to be here in this portion of the himalayan mountain chain.*

It was really very peaceful moment guys as the whole picture looked something just like this we were walking this beautiful mountain and covering the distance up and enjoying the whole moment to its fullest not sure about where we were headed to not even sure about which trains we took all we had in mind was just enjoying the moment to its fullest and I also captured as many photographs as a code so that I could share it with you guys in this platform and you guys could also see the hidden beauty of the Himalayas to its fullest and as pure as the fresh ice in the mountain.

# *The Change in Vegetation.*

My friends another thing that I noticed when I was at this place was that when we were covering the distance up as in the beginning of the blog post beginning of my adventure and beginning of my journey today there was totally a different type of vegetation different types of plants that grow but once we covered the distance Gained a lot of elevation and attitude there was the change of in which that led to the change in vegetation and the vegetation at this place looked something just like this.

# The First Campground.

It had been quite a lot of time more than three hours when we finally spotted the first camp ground there were these rocks kept that indicated that there used to be the house or the tent or place of stay of the ancient people where this place was the only main trail that would lead to the different valleys here Himachal Pradesh of India Himalayas.

*It was a place that indicated that there used to be the ancient campground so it was in reality what is the place where we were and we indicated that this was the place it had been more than three hours when we reached at the spot and have you looked something just like this.*

*There were these rocks at certain portions and if we try to imagine and try to think of this place as a village or a town in ancient era so what these rocks indicating when I wondered around this place and realised the surroundings maybe it was the ancient wonderland.*

We rested at this place for quite awhile relaxed for a moment as we had really been tired hiking since morning and reaching this beautiful place it was around 11 AM when we finally reached at this place. I was not sure that what this place was called whether did this place had its name or was it totally random I was not even sure about that.

*We also saw few of the fire sticks at this place they looked a bit fresh maybe few of the people would have camped at this place in recent times.*
