Upon this watered one, so much we take for granted; So let us sleep outside tonight, lay down in our nature's arms, for here we can rest safely. One sweet world around a star is spinning - One sweet world - And in her breath we will be swimming, and here we will rest in peace."

There is so much to see while the time we have is so little. So, if you are penchant about this small meeting with mother nature, brace yourself for an unforgettable journey of the majestic mountains of India.
