Night Stay in Forest for the First Time – Unforgettable Experience
Do you know what the best thing in life is? When you are waiting for something extraordinary and it happens unexpectedly! The days were passing and we were learning so many things about Mountaineering, but then I had this feeling that I need some more adventurous activity, because everything seemed like the same; Climbing, Rappelling, Lectures.
It was day 6, Instructors were planning our night stay and I came to know that it was going to be happening very soon. Then one evening I found that we would be going for the Night Stay in the jungle that night itself. A happy time.
Walking down more than 1000 steps, we reached at Gaumukh Temple (In Mount Abu).
We left at 3 O’clock and reached the place around 5:30. On time. Now we divided ourselves into teams and we each of the teams had some tasks to do. We went to collect wood for the Campfire. In addition, other teams started preparing dinner for everyone. We finished our task and then Photography (Most demanding things found till now :p).
If you want to survive in the forest, there needs to be fire around you. We discovered some beautiful places there and that was the most amazing experience I ever had.
Dinner was ready and we were ready to have it. It was the first time in the whole course that we had such a comfortable evening. Sleeping there, around that fire with everyone, was a memorable moment.
Waking up at an unknown place was a thrilling experience in itself.The first rule of camping is, “Leave No Trace”. We followed the same; we left everything as it was before we had touched that place. I had seen a sunset and sunrise from the top.
There are so many books to read and so much knowledge to gain but when you discover the beauty of nature, it is the best thing you can ever do.
