Around here on 15 July every year. People from 15 villages come and pray for good health and harvest and celebrate this fair with great pomp. I am a local here; we have been going here since childhood. We used to go out of the house at night and on the 1st day, I used to live in the same forests.
These were truly good and enjoyable days. When there were no tents, it was very pleasant to spend the night sitting under the open sky; we not only used to live like this for all the cows. Since then, the Kedarkantha trek is considered to be the best and beautiful.

The day ends, and we don’t even realize – someone said it right that we Kuldeep Ji, you are lucky that you live here. The trekkers told me if the office, airport, everything was here, they would never leave the mountains.
My only answer was – if every facility were here, then the mesmerizing beauty of the mountains would have lost somewhere. The untouched beauty is the thing that provides peace and a spark to know about the hills. We are fortunate and happy to be “Pahadis.”
