Thirty Five Stairs - A travel experience during the lockdown

Nobody was expecting what stuck us in 2020. A fast running world needed a pit stop maybe. Or nature needed a breather from ever growing human greed. The word “Lockdown” was never so popular, neither were the masks so famous. Yet this horrid time provided many opportunities for people to stay with their families, to focus on things they were not getting time before.

As travels are almost locked for everyone, let me share one of my travel experience during this lockdown . A place quite familiar to me , maybe not much explored, got my attention during the lockdown as I made multiple trips with a different experience each time.

A sunny morning in the winters is what we look for. With the lockdown starting by mid of March, winters were almost gone. 

I was lucky still to witness the snow laden mountains illuminated by bright sunshine. Still very far but good enough to give a soothing experience during this terrible time.

One of the positive things that happened during this lockdown is the pollution levels going down & nature back to full bloom. 

Yes this is possible, didn’t happen in the best possible way but at least we know it can happen and we should make an effort to save our environment. 

Being in a place close to nature it was nice to see the clear skies and the greens and blues of the nature again.

Rain playing hide n seek with the sun is a sight in itself. The smell of rain hitting the soil is second to none. And then if Sun rays touch the rain droplets, you are in for a natural therapy.

Just the freshness of the moment let's you forget everything & feel the divine experience.

Sunsets are always beautiful. Described as the Golden Hour, the Colors are just incredible. Birds flying back to their homes is a sight to behold. And the sky formations just add to the beauty. If you get to witness the sight every other day, you can’t ask for more.

You might be wondering with all the travel restrictions imposed during the lockdown, how I managed to visit this place? 

Well capturing all this nature’s brilliance needed a travel for me as long as thirty five stairs. Thirty five stairs to nature’s exuberance. Thirty five stairs to peace. Thirty five stairs to the roof of my home where I was mere a visitor once a month before the lockdown. 

Leaving you with more pictures taken from my roof, hope you enjoy them :)
