AN ADVENTUROUS NIGHT IN THE JUNGLE

What do you think? We have gathered for discussing an agenda?
Or we have gathered to listen to Ram Dev Baba?
Or we were waiting for Katrina Kaif's live performance on "Sheila Ki Jawaani"?
Or Salman is about to distribute "Being Human" T- Shirts for Ramp walk?
Or we were waiting for wild animals to sit with us and spent night together...
 

FRom all the above guesses, the last one sounds a bit interesting...What say????
Dinner At 11:30 P.M.



It was 12 a.m. and we were done with our dinner. Each one was carrying a torch, water bottles, chocolates and other eatables. The man in the middle, who is wearing black color T-shirt with "Junoon" written at the back of it, is the one who asked us to carry all these items.
This adventurous man had called us for a "Night Out Trekking in Jungle". We were about 50 people who had accepted his invitation and gathered in a village named "Kathotiya Gaanv". It is being said that, since this village resides around various mountains in the shape of a bowl (katori) it is being called as "Kathotiya".



Prevention is Better Than Cure 



It is a famous saying "Before entering into anything new, one should be prepared for the worst thing". Mr. Yog the crazy young man was applying the same strategy on us. He was telling us that during the trek we might encounter some dangerous wild creatures of the jungle. As informed by him, IIFM had spotted some wild tigers and Chinkaaras in "Kathotiya Gaanv". Scary No.....!!!!!

So, keeping all these negatives aside we all tugged up our pants and started our trek towards the jungle...


TRIP STARTS NOW

As good citizens of India, we lined up ourselves to move ahead in a line. Before moving ahead e were asked to spray iodex and odomas on our legs and hands to distract animal's mind from us.
Initially we were about to cross a small farm. Before entering this farm we found an old man sitting on the "Khatiya". We saluted him by saying "Aaapki Himmat ki Daat Deni Chahiye ki Aap aise jagah reh rahe ho". He also smiled at us and we continue our journey.

As the farm ends, our main trekking to the mountain started. Slowly slowly, lightning our way with small LED lights torches we used to watch our further path to move on. As a precautionary measure we were also asked "not to touch any tree while trekking". So, it was only we, our torches, and our body who have to move ahead.


A SMALL BREAK

In between we took a small break to restore our energies.Luckily, till now we haven't found any dangerous creature except this sweet little frog.







To reach the hill top, we have to cross one narrowest cave filled with honey bees and small sweet and naughty creatures. 


 

THE MOONLIGHT EXPERIENCE AT HILL TOP


Just after crossing that cave we reached the hill top at around 4:00.A.M.(not sure). At the hill top the most beautiful creature on this universe welcomed us and calmed all of us. It was beautiful moonlight with trillions of stars. IT felt like heaven spending night with "MOON".





We enjoyed this moonlight with some beautiful romantic songs and eating peanuts for around half an hour. After which we now have to move down to the mountain by again crossing a cave filled with snakes and baby panthers. Before this we saw some beautiful ancient rock paintings.

TREKKING DOWN THE HILL



Now the tough time started to move down the hill because moving up is much easier than moving down. We again crossed a dangerous cave filled with chameleons, snakes and other naughty creatures.
 
By going through all such interesting and special moments, we finally reached back to our camp site. It was 5' o clock in the morning, the sun was about to rise and we were able to cherish the morning cloudy atmosphere before sunrise. Since, most of us used to wake up after 9 or 10 in the morning everyone was excited to see the glory of sun. All tired and sleepy we had our breakfast with a hot cup of tea along with biscuits and snacks. Except Mr Yog all of us wanted to go home and sleep. But at that time Yog Sir was planning our next adventurous trip. Lets See...what next is in our store.......This is not the END.....The Journey Continues..........................
