Hello to all hive users ♥️😊🙏
Hope you all are healthy and doing great in your life 🙂
It was an unexpected journey. Although I had a desire for a long time to visit Kainchi Dham and spend some time there, but I had time only on weekends and there is a lot of crowd there on weekends, due to which I felt scared. I felt like doing it but then looking at the crowd I thought that it would not be possible to do it properly. It is situated at a distance of about 50 kilometers from our house and is a very famous Dham. Thousands of people come here every day and get the privilege of having darshan there.
As I told you, this was an unexpected journey and I had not made any plans for it. Like every day, I woke up in the morning and started checking my mobile phone and saw that there was a message in our office group that there is no work today and all the employees can take leave toda, after that the thought will come to my mind that why not go out somewhere today because I was busy with household work for a long time and I also need some outing .
I was thinking from a long time that I had to go to Kainchi Dham once, then I thought why not go to Kainchi Dham today itself because as it was not a weekend, there would be less crowd than other weekend days and also there would be less traffic today as there was a strike of bus drivers.Then the thought came to my mind that there would be no better opportunity than this anywhere else, so I immediately made a plan to go to Kainchi Dham and I called my cousin brother and he also agreed.
I gave time to my cousin at 9:00 AM that he has to be ready at 9:00 AM and after that I quickly went to take a bath, then I got ready and went to the garage and there I cleaned my two wheeler scooter a little and then I Called to my cousin brother and he came to the road nearest to his house and we both started our journey.
Our journey starts from the fuel station. I saw that the fuel level in my scooter was a little low, so I thought that we will refill this now, who knows whether we get fuel on the way or not, so I did the same and we filled the fuel and got air filled on tires there and after that we started towards our destination.
The weather that day was such that it was getting cold and there were mild moments and the sunlight had not come properly because there was still a light fog in the atmosphere due to which the sunlight had not yet reached us completely. You can see in this picture the confluence of sunlight on the hills in front, but you can also see here that there is no sunlight on the road at all, due to which we were facing a lot of cold while driving because it was winter and cold winds were also blowing and it was morning so it seemed quite cold. Now, although we were wearing all the gears like gloves, muffler, hat and helmet, we still feel cold.

After that, when we continued traveling, we saw that we were not able to see sunlight at all because we had reached an area where there were trees all around and due to this, we were not able to see sunlight in front and we were feeling even more cold. When we looked, there was frost at many places in front.
After going some distance, I saw that water was coming suddenly from somewhere . At first I thought that there must be some water supply here, but then I noticed that this water is coming directly from the mountains. Often in the mountain area water comes from from high altitude areas and many sources of water like this are seen and these sources are very helpful for the local people around and this water is chilled to drink and is full with all kinds of nutritious elements and is absolutely pure water.

Then we continued moving like this and after going a little further we saw a glimpse of sunlight and we started feeling a little bit of heat but at the same time cold winds were blowing and we were also feeling very cold .In the same position my hands and legs were very stiff while sitting, then after covering a distance of about 20 kilometers, we found a place which was on the highway and there was a lot of sunlight coming there, so I applied brakes there and we both drank some warm water and spent some time there in the sun.I was getting comfortable so much so that I did not feel like getting up from there because sitting in the sun was making me feel hot and I was feeling quite good, but then there was a thing in my mind that we had to reach there on time so we should have to get up from here, then we packed ourselves again with gears and resumed our journey.
We were moving ahead like this and then without stopping we applied brakes straight at our destination. First of all, we did not find any parking space there because when I reached near the main gate of Kainchi Dham we saw that a huge crowd of people had gathered there and a lot of vehicles were stuck in the traffic jam there, then I left from there and take u turn and went back a distance of about 300 meters and there was a good place where there was less crowd and there was a little vacant space next to the road, so I parked my scooter there.
Then we started towards main gate and within two to three minutes we had reached the main gate of the Dham and there we saw that there was really a huge crowd there and I had a sudden thought in my mind only once that will we be able to have darshan or not.
Then we kept moving forward in the same manner like other people's moving and I saw that there were people who wanted to take photos with mobile phones and the security guards there were telling everyone through the speaker that do not take photographs with mobile phones. Although some mischievous people were trying to avoid them and take photographs , still the guard's eyes fall on them. Taking photographs there was strictly prohibited due to which I cannot show you any picture inside the Dham.

After that, we took off our shoes at one place and washed our hands and feet and then we started moving forward along with the crowd. We kept our bags on the luggage counter and after that we again started moving forward with the crowd, then while walking we started seeing different types of temples there and like this we kept moving forward. Gradually we moving towards the main temple where the idol of Baba Ji was there and we made offerings there and then we moved forward from there and took the prayer book and sat there for some time and prayed. Meditate. A large crowd of people was gathered there. After meditating, we came back, then we took the Prasad and we took our bags from the luggage counter and came back. When we were moving towards the main gate, I saw that there was a huge crowd coming there and so many people were standing on the main road and getting photographs taken, due to which it was becoming more crowded and traffic jam were also seen as peoples are standing on main road.
There was so much crowd on the side of the road that it was very difficult to get a photo taken while standing there, so I clicked a photo from a distance and after that we left from there.
Kainchi Dham is surrounded by mountains and the surrounding mountains further enhance its beauty.
Then we explored the local market there a bit and I took a photo frame of Baba Ji and then we went towards the nursery and there I took some flowers to plant in a pot in my house and we started returning back to our house. We were also feeling very hungry and we were searching for a good restaurant for a long time where there was less crowd because we saw that there was a huge crowd of people gathered in all the restaurants and we were not even able to find a place. So we thought that we will go a little further and have food. We went about 10 kilometers ahead from there and we saw a restaurant there which was on an empty place, so we asked to eat there and they said that food will be prepared then we ordered potato parathas there and we waited there for some time and at that time he prepared fresh potato parathas and we sat together and ate there. After eating parathas we resume riding after going a little further we found a good spot, so we sat there in the sun for some time and from there we could see very good mountain views, so we clicked some photos there and then we again resume our journey.

After that, when we were coming back, I saw that the road was very bad at one place and this was the same road which was completely washed away in a natural disaster about 2 years ago and the work of repairing the road is still going on. You can see how big and huge the mountains are around and the work on this road is still going on. I am very surprised to think how the people who are working here can work in such cold conditions because in this place there is no sunlight at all and there is no fall from the mountains all around because there is no trace of sunlight here. The road was very bad, so we drove the scooter with some caution. After that, we continued moving forward without stopping and kept enjoying the sight of nature.

⏭️⏭️⏭️⏭️⏭️⏭️⏭️⏭️⏭️⏭️⏭️⏭️⏭️⏭️⏭️⏭️⏭️⏭️
Then after riding continuously for about 20 kilometers, we reached a place where there was very good sunlight and I needed it a lot because my body had become stiff by sitting in the same position due to which my hands and legs became numb. So I sat there and enjoyed the sunshine for some time and after seeing the view in front, I became very happy and seeing the lush green environment, the only thing coming to my mind was that there is nothing more beautiful than nature.
This was our last stoppage, after that I stopped straight after reaching home and we reached home at around 3:00 pm. I was having a little pain in the shoulder of my left hand and a little pain in my waist too, so when I reached home, I had some snacks and drank tea and then went to bed to rest and slept for some time. I rested late at home and when I woke up in the evening, I was feeling less tired and the pain was also going away. I felt very good after visiting Kainchi Dham and also felt a positive energy. I would recommend all of you to go there once and experience this thing yourself.
