Hello hivers ,hope you all are doing well . I would like to extend a warm welcome to everyone here today. Today i would like to share a beautiful experience of a secert lake situated between thousands of pine trees. A place is known as "MASHADA" name of this place was given by the locals .It takes around one hour from the national highway to reach here by car . It is very good place for day out and some local also warn us to not stay after sunset because of the wild animals .

I call my all friends and started our trip to mashada . I told my friends to to ready for the surprise ,today we are going to some secert place. They never visit mashada before ,for them it was like heaven . On our way , they were very exicted as we see a big playground . There was a tree in the middle of the ground which was significant of victory of the people who fought here just kidding i donot know why there was a tree in the middle of the ground i think it represents that no trees were cut down during construstion of the ground.

We captured some photographs near playground where we found a small water pound but there was no water in that pound and i guess in rainy season it fills with water because there were bareiers and waring sign.

After sometime we saw some local people with there cattles.
we saw some cows were grazing in jungle . It is the easy way for the locals, they open their cattles in a open field for grazing so they donot have to cut the grass by themself for their cattles

We reached Mashada in 30 min from that ground and parked our car between the trees. It was very difficult to park car at that location as tyres of cars were skiting in the mud .

After that we find some local people they tell us many story of that place and told us to leave the place before sun sets .They told us here many people are frightened . They belived that shouting and screaming here can distrub that peace of the souls living here and told us not to drink because for them it is a holy place.
Staying here at night was also not allowed but we were so exicted to camp and bonfire there and they also told once \a group of boys and girls stayed here at night and one of girl went missing and all of them were not able speak that waht happened at that night. we have to drop our plan and go back to our home .

Again after a week we thought of going back there for some photoshoot and guess what we found..
We discovered the cave from where you can see a beautiful view of whole town Theog .
I was surprised that this whole place was full of mysteries and cave was like best pat of the trip.

We captured around hunderd photos from there and this time we take DSLR with us to capture each and every moment.

When we were going back from that cave we found that some one stayed there last night at staring of the lake and we were confused and thought that here locals are awaring everyone that not to stay here and some people still are not understanding the importance of this holy place.
We captured some photos with ashes and go back to our home.
All the things like eatables that we carried with ourselves we bring all garbage back with us. And i request you everyone to please don't litter .

hope you like this blog ..
Thank you for your visit .
