Kasol is delightful !!!
This scenic village on the banks of the gushing Parvati River in Himachal Pradesh has an unhurried charm and an infectious vibe of its own. The backdrop of this hamlet is the Parvati valley and all its ever charming and quaint villages ….
Everyday i would walk around in this “mini Israel” and i still feel I didn’t have enough…
The adventurous trek to Chalal village from Kasol with all its trippy cafés through mud paths and innumerable coniferous trees and the sight of Parvati river all along the forest covered path made my day a dreamy and glorious one. Nature feels so good here that you will never want to leave Kasol. The mesmerizing views, beautiful greenery, amazing landscape, phenomenal weather are just some of the things that made this place so unforgettable …..
Until next time ….

Some priceless moments of the first long and not so easy travel trip with my two wildlings and me !!! Finding little pieces of paradise amidst all the crazy , fun adventures that took place …. Meal times were those , in the biting cold , always so hungry after the days treks … just absorbing everything that took place in the day and thanking the almighty for all that we experienced ♾️💖⛰️❄️❤️🔥 #roadtrip #mountains #himalayas #nature #wanderlust #theadventuresofAI #gadgetfreechildhood #outdoors #grateful #reels #reelsinstagram
This was , by far , the most adventurous day of the trip !
We started out by going out to a snow slope for some mad fun tubing .
The weather started changing at midday.
We drove through the longest (9km) and highest (above 10000 feet ) single tube tunnel in the world, in the Pari Panjal range of the mighty Himalayas.
It was Empty (its always full ) , which means in a matter of minutes , the border roads organisation had shut it down and we had a feeling something had happened!!!
As soon as we got out of the tunnel , we were stuck in a full fledged #snowstorm!!!
Forget the littles , even I hadn’t experienced something like this ever before in my life .
And we were stuck with many other cars on a downward slope up on a mountain …. 🥶
It was – 5 degrees Celsius at 2 pm.brrrrrrrr
Thankfully we were always prepped for all sorts of mountain behaviours ( and yes, they are highly unpredictable ) and were in no danger in any way . Again , so much to be grateful for !!!
In between So many crucial decisions and so much patience , the littles and me sat there staring at all what the mountains had to offer!!!
The snowflakes fell one by one at first, but then their numbers increased, two by two, 10 by 10, then more than we could possibly count.
If we would let go of the focus in our eyes , the falling show would look like a driving torrent of snowflakes,and they were . ❄️🌨️ We finally got home with all the lovely help from the mountain people there and some snow cutters too 😜
The immaculate but tough and a very slow drive through the icy slopes , trying so hard not to apply the break , not to skid , the littles on their full guard , ready for anything…. Waiting to tell their adventures to all back home while we cuddled up in each other’s warmth and thanked the almighty for yet another beautiful day!!!
We made it and added some vital life skills while we were at it !!! Yippie!!!!

Snow !!!!
It’s beautiful and it’s harsh. It makes the world white and bright, but it can make even the smallest thing hard to do . Washroom breaks are tough !!! The roads are a nightmare to drive.!!! The list goes on ….
But , There are so many ways to look at snow, so many things to feel with snow, so many ways it changes the world and everything in it.
Snow hits all your senses, you can see it’s whiteness and you can feel its sting and its melt. You can hear how it muffles sound. You can be stopped by its substance. You can slip on it too.
Snow is real and tangible and then it can just melt away as quickly as it came … leaving no trace. Piles and piles can show up overnight and then be gone in a day.
Snow is lovely and terrifying. Things hurt and are soothed simultaneously.
This is snow’s weird beauty and its weird magic.
But winter snowfall is so so so MAGICAL . ❄️☃️🎿🏔️❤️🫶🏻
