Day 7 - Bedni to Wan descent & Wan to Lohajung
Day 8 - Lohajung to Haridwar
It is very strange. I don’t think aspirations matter much. I think it is the challenge presented by the road to our aspirations actually matters and that is the thrill we all seek. It doesn’t matter if we reached our goal, it only matters how we reached our goal. Six days we sweated it out to reach Roopkund and now here we are on day 7, victorious yet longing for another challenge to take on.
With an easy day ahead, we were in no particular hurry. We took a lot of group snaps. Call me sensitive if you must but saying goodbyes is the hardest thing for me to do. Today we had to bid farewell to the mountains that indulged us for so long. And tomorrow I have to bid farewell to everyone else who made this trek so much more enjoyable. We sang “Om Mangalam” for one last time before we departed. It is funny how we pick up small things on trips such as these and hold on to it like there wasn’t a day that went by without doing that thing. We were a bunch of twenty something youngsters and yet we took to the bhajan like fish to water by the end of the week.
