That Lonely walk!!

A walk in the Valley

Some Walks are meant to be taken alone...
I was at sangla on August of 2009.sangla is a  valley which is surrounded by snow capped mountains  and picturesque pine forest.
It was a chilly morning that day . My sojourn for couple of days was a guest house near the Baspa river. I was all set and geared up with my camera  for the walk near river. As I went down the river I noticed beautiful tiny houses and people sipping there cupa chai ( Tea) in there lilliputian portico. They seem to be calm and relaxed with smile on there face.These merry men ,women and children who were coming along my way were so unlike the community which I have seen in the course of my life. Maybe the scenic beauty had cast a magic spell on them. The long walk was looking for answers about soul .
Pondering of thoughts lead me to the river . I washed my face , looked at my self into the water and thought what a lonely walk it was!!

The Bank of the river is so enchanting that one can easily fall in love with this place. I had my spritual encounter which is still lively in my mind. Today is May'2017 Iam recalling the moment almost after 8 years .

Now came the question for booking the property, finally after much discussion a villa was booked for 3 days and 2 nights from November 23 to 25.

SPELLBINDING BALTIC CAPITALS (ESTONIA,LATVIA,LITHUANIA)

ESTONIA pic courtsey: National Geographic LATVIA OLD TOWN STREET Baltic Capitals comprises of three countries Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania. All the three countries will  spellbind you with there charm. The people here are friendly and tourism is the main source of economy here. Where are they located?  Between the Russia and the Baltic Sea, with Russia's annexe ­ Kaliningrad ­ acting as a bookend for Lithuania. Belarus and Poland complete the perimeter.
