Winter Wonderland in the Lower Himalayas

It’s a chilly night… You’re cuddled up warmly in layers of quilts… insulated from the dry, freezing wind that wails through the trees outside. Fortified with some hot chocolate or stronger spirits, you fall asleep imagining the cold outside. 

In the morning, there’s a hush… an intriguing silence, the absence of the gusting breeze you fell asleep to… curious, you open the door, peep outside and Wow!!

Everything, from near to afar, from little twigs to distant hills, from the stones below to the tops of pine trees, has been brushed in white! The magical hands of the weather gods have swept a layer of snow and frost on all things. 

A ‘Winter Wonderland’ that conjures up images from fairy tales and movies and Christmas celebrations… the captivating sight of everything white!  

This UnCrushedLeaves Journey is a White Out!!!
