Making your heart sing

My idea of a whole day of activities to make your heart sing:

In the morning you wake up to the sound of Himalayan birds. Smile, take your tea and go out on the balcony. All beauty of the colors of dawn is the backdrop of the scenario that awaits you... clouds and mountains dance for you changing the landscape as in a theater play. After a rich breakfast, you can choose a place for your meditation. One of several options is the Shiva Mandir (Agaan Temple) at the top, after a pleasant 20-minute walk. A stunning scenery awaits you there.

In the afternoon, after your delicious lunch and rest, you can watch the birds, take pictures, walk along the various paths full of pine trees, plants and flowers. Go visit the villages and chat with friendly people who will always offer you tea and more smiles. If you enjoy exciting adventures, ask the staff to organize sports activities at Lake Tehri, located a few kilometers away.

In the late afternoon, you can walk back to the top and enjoy the sunset that insists on painting the clouds orange, pink and salmon. The light between treetops, delicious snacks and high tea served there add to the magic of the moment.

Later, you might want to marvel at the play of light on the brand new Dobra Chanti bridge over Lake Tehri, a 40-minute drive away. Along the way, the bridge reveals itself at every turn, adorned by the lights of villages, which make the mountains look like a starry sky.

In the evening, after a comforting dinner, warm your body and heart by a beautiful campfire. Enjoy the silence of mind that is only broken by the cracking of wood and the mesmerizing snaking of flames. Depending on circumstances, there will be singing, dancing and good conversation.
