The unplanned trip to tungnath

This is the story of last spring when we started off to srinagar from delhi. Srinagar is a place where we go every year. But last year the journey turned out to be an adventure. When me and my cousin started an unplanned trip to tungnath.

Those days we were in bua's house, usually we go there every year. In the morning my parents and buaji asked me to come along with them to dhari devi mandir, i denied as it was too early in the morning. Me and my cousin were alone, her friends called her randomly, and asked for the trip to chopta she asked me and we were ready to go.

The trip started from 9:00am im the morning. We were 4 people in two bikes. After around 1hr of journey, we diverted from badrinath highway to kedarnath. We stopped their at a shop ate some maggie. The road was tough after we diverted to kedarnath highway. After 2 hrs journey we reached chopta. We trekked for about 3hrs and reached the tungnath temple. The views were amazing that we didnt even get to know when we reached the temple. Around at 4:00pm, we decided to go down to chopta where we had parked our bikes.

We started off to srinagar from chopta, and reached home by 8:00 at night. The trip was very tiring, but had great fun with my friends & the people who were trekking along with us.

The day he reached jaunsar a cat tried to enter the flat alloted to him, which looked a little bigger than the normal cat. While the cat was trying to enter through the window, he threw wooden photo frame on the cat.
