Comments on: How I love to go to the Himalayas! http://www.vjkrishna.com/2009/03/10/how-i-love-to-go-to-the-himalayas/ vjkrishna Tue, 20 Jul 2010 06:25:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Prince http://www.vjkrishna.com/2009/03/10/how-i-love-to-go-to-the-himalayas/comment-page-1/#comment-695 Prince Sat, 20 Feb 2010 17:56:33 +0000 http://www.vjkrishna.com/?p=215#comment-695 VJKrishna..I am from your neighbouring state..well actually above your state.I am 31 and I've been to the char dham yatra, though i covered only three dhams due to time constraints.I've been to Gangotri, Badrinath and Kedarnath. I could not go to Yamunotri. Let me only say one thing about Himalayas. "THERE IS NOTHING LIKE THE HIMALAYAS IN THE WORLD". Its absolute privilige and bliss to visit them. The trip actually changed my entire perspective of life and the way we live in the cities. I was in a totally different world. I 've been some of the best moutains in the world, be it european alps, america or Australia but there is nothing like the himalayas.The places around the world are scenic, but himalayas are much more than that. I have no words to describe what i saw and felt. But, it could be a little tough if you are not an experienced high altitude trekker, but still manageable.I myselves wasn't experienced and wasn't prepared at all, but i did it.I had no plans how to go there and what to do.A casual trip to rishikesh took me all the way up. If you plan to go there, practice cardio exercises and lots of walking.Go there prepared with all the clothing and accesories. It could be peak summer with 40+ temperatures in india but you will experience sub zero temperatures there.I am going there again this summer to finish the one dham left and may be go to all of them.Trust me its worth.

You need to have gone there, or you should have heard the experiences or you should be able to imagine. If none of these happen, there is no difference between chennai and himalayas. I'm afraid we're still talking different languages here. It is not about thrill or excitement or feeling bored or monotonous at all. A change does not always mean that the status quo is not satisfactory. A new experience is what I mean. A new experience that I would never be able to have in the place where I live. If I get there, I'll bring you a yeti. Ha! You need to have gone there, or you should have heard the experiences or you should be able to imagine.

I know it is already thrilling and exciting at Chennai, then why you need Himalayas. If it is seeming monotonous give it some time! Your kid is growing ;-) I believe our kids certainly will make our life exciting! I am not stopping you Vj rather I cannot stop you from being superstar or Sachin. Just one wish, bring some snow for me from Himalayas :-) Vj,

What makes you think I'm not a superstar ;-) You've made too many assumptions. I have no intentions of dhyaans and meditations in Himalayas. I just want to enjoy that experience and that adventure. If you do that background check, the people to go to the Himalayas range from 15 years to 60 years, from various countries and continents. And yes, it will be a tiring experience. For the first time in your life, if you try to climb 13,000 feet in sub-zero temperatures, you can't expect that to be not tiring. Whether that would discourage you from going depends on how much you want to go. Ask Sachin. Scoring hundreds are tiring, but he would not mind scoring another century. Anil as my nurse at 13,000 feet above sea level? Not very exciting! Santy! What makes you think I’m not a superstar ;-)

I completely understand the purpose of this post unlike the others and it conveys two things! One is that you are trying to make yourselves Superstar by saying I am going to Himalayas :-) Two is that you are getting older, looking for that peaceful part of life! Want to spend time with nature, going out of noisy cities, climbing mountains peaks and performing dyaans all lead to the making of an old saint and certainly not a youth! I am happy that your reality finally came out! Jokes apart keeping aside the adventures and thrills it certainly will be a tiring experience. No wonder you turn pink and pins prick in that chilling cold. I am not sure how far is Dehradun but it certainly must be freezing than Amsterdam! NOT ME! Anil when you travel along side Vj remember to get all tips & tricks from his better half for handling his medikit! I think you will end up being his nurse all along :-) Vj,

What a Lovely pictures. Now I understand why "Maniratnam" never shoot/go out of India. I too experienced similar instance. These Pictures made my eagerness more to visit than it was before. I come across YHAI from one of my co-passenger from chennai long back, where he was sharing his joyful moments after visiting Himalayas through YHAI. There I decided to experience myself & to be part of it at the earliest. I did enquire with YHAI at that time and I was told that I need to take membership, enroll for the trip & wait for my turn..... asusual busy life dried all the plans. I think life time is not enough to explore & discover whole India. But my distant desire brighten with your post. Will join if you are planning in near future If my company is fine for you :)) Vijay Anil Ahaaa..!!! What a Lovely pictures. Now I understand why “Maniratnam” never shoot/go out of India.

Who wouldn't love to be there! The YHAI seems to be a good, safe arrangement and I think any risk is to go the full distance is worth it. But it looks like it's only for YHAI members.
