From Ghangaria it’s a 6 km steep track to Hemkund Sahib, which is 4633 m high. However, people who were able to see what lies ahead were able to walk as they were able to see the hope, but those who kept looking back on how much they have walked so far were losing their hope and got exhausted quickly.
Life Lesson#1 It is very important to keep looking ahead if you want to achieve something great in life.
As we were climbing up, the oxygen level was reducing step by step. As the path got narrower. I saw a bunch of people become the leader by helping others and a bunch of people were just standing and watching far from the distance.
Life Lesson#2 Life opens up equal opportunities to you, it’s up to you whether you take them or you stay afraid of taking them.
I was climbing up with a deaf-mute boy. Initially, I thought it is difficult to understand him without words, but after some time I realized he is not different from me, and communication needs no language, in a few hours I started talking in sign language and we were communicating as if we know each other since ages.
Life Lesson#3: Never judge someone so early without giving them a chance. Sometimes you may think you understand but you don’t!

Life Lesson#4: Don’t tie your happiness with goals, tying yourself with goals will not let you enjoy the 'beauty of the process'. By the way, I was part of group 2 ??
I have witnessed 70-year-old women climbing without any hassle, and I have seen 30-year-olds falling down (it was me only ?? )?I was curious to know how oldies are able to manage and I am not, so I asked her and in return, I got this beautiful life lesson?
Life Lesson#5:
“Believe in yourself, go slow”?

2 年It is very beautiful journey. One time as kid and second time as teenager. Both times I learned different lessons. First journey, I was on the kandie and it was very scary when you are back of those men who carry you all day, and you see mountain below and how far we came. Second time I was walking with my family and there was group of military young men who came to see valley of flowers and also ending up going to hamekhnd Sahib. Spending time with milarary men and eating boil eggs, bananas and nuts. Also their sprit and confidence also helped people and our family over the path and glaciers. I learnt my lesson don’t be afraid and leave it to God. Thank God giving me those lessons
