Hello friends, hope all of you are well and living a happy and peaceful life.

Friends, as today was a holiday in the office and I had gone out and the weather is also rainy these days, so I thought why not make a post today which is the third chapter of my journey to Adi Kailash, Nawada friends, we are devotees, so friends, let's start the third day of our journey today. Friends, as yesterday we were staying in a home stay, we stopped our journey here, today we woke up early in the morning, we woke up around 4:00 am and we thought why not leave early in the morning because there were a lot of devotees going to Adi Kailash. We thought that if we leave early in the morning then we would find less crowd on the way because there was still checking to be done at many places on the way. We got ourselves checked and showed our passes to the army people at about 8 to 9 places because they were doing entry of all the people and they were seeing how many people were going to the temple and when were they coming back. Entry was being done both while going and coming back. When we stopped there, the people there told us that there would be more entries at four-five more places; we still covered a distance of about 30 to 40 kilometers.
There will be entry at four or five places now, a distance of about 30 to 40 kilometers, we still had to cover more distance and entry was yet to be made at four or five places.
When we woke up in the morning, the people where we were staying arranged for hot water for us to take bath. We were very appreciative of the way they were heating the water. It is said that it is difficult to find a geyser in the mountains because there was light at very few places here. A generator was installed by the people here for the convenience of light. The tourists who come to stay there get light for only three to four hours. They provide light from 8:00 pm to 12:00 pm and then switch it off. The way they were heating the water was quite worth seeing. They had made a very good device for heating water, which you can see in the photo. They had made a big thing of one gram steel and a pipe was fitted in it, in which they would light a fire by putting wood on top and cold water would be poured from one side and in a few minutes, very hot water would come out from the other side. It was very good to see that the water was getting hot very quickly in it, although it took 5 to 10 minutes before that. It takes some time to heat up and after that around 40-50 litres of water gets heated well at one time. We made it and left for our destination.

Friends, as we had reached there on the first day, we thought why not call our home and tell them that we have reached there, but there was no facility of any kind there, everyone's phones were switched off and no network of any kind was working there, everyone's phones were switched off, not only ours but all the people who had come there, everyone's phones were switched off, there was no network of any kind there because this area is adjacent to the border, after a few kilometers there is the border of Nepal and after a few kilometers there is the border of China, people there used to talk either through satellite, to bring any goods, the people there used to talk to the people living below them through satellite or walkie talkie and ask for goods there, then there was a Wi-Fi of some company in the village, which was at only one place in the whole village, there was a huge crowd of people there, all the people who had come there, all of them were standing there to call their respective homes and using the Wi-Fi there, they could call their homes through WhatsApp or other means. I was telling you, you can see how crowded this line is.

As we were moving upwards, the road was looking quite bad but if we talk about the natural beauty then it was quite amazing. It is said that to gain something you have to lose something but at this place one gets a different kind of peace. It is said that if heaven is here then it is quite amazing. Seeing the natural beauty here, the mind became very beautiful and we were feeling quite happy. We were enjoying our journey and moving forward while enjoying the natural beauty. We were completing our journey without worrying about the bad road.

Friends, as I had told you that everyone's passes were being checked by the army, I had told you that earlier at the previous post, we were showing the passes made by the tehsil, and the army soldiers were sending us ahead after looking at the passes, entering them and counting us. This was being done by all the vehicles, all the vehicles that were passing through that line, could not go ahead without a pass, even if they were from the village, whatever kind of facility was being provided by the villagers to take and bring tourists through their vehicles, it was mandatory for them also to show that pass to the army soldiers, only then they would be able to travel further.

Finally we had reached our destination and we had got the darshan of Shri Adi Kailash mountain which was looking quite nice, this mountain was visible from the road itself and I was quite fascinated, it had become my favourite, to see the beautiful video of this place and to have the darshan of Mahadev, we had reached Gaurikund by trekking three-four kilometres from here and we stopped there for some time and enjoyed the place and got some photographs clicked.
