Why do sunsets fascinate us so much? Perhaps, it’s because of the beauty with which they happen… As the sun gets ready to retire for the day, losing its fiery shades of bright white and yellow, becoming more mellow hues of orange and pink, it reminds us that everything will end - the good, the bad, the triumphs, the failures, the joys and even the pain. The sun setting is merely the ending of one day that will give birth a new sunrise the next day… Nature is always teaching us something; all we need to do is stop for a few moments and observe it for its lessons to unfold. And that’s exactly what happened when we halted briefly on our drive between Mussourie and Rishikesh to capture this serene sunset! #divinedestinations #spiritualsojourn #sacredjourneys #pilgrimspath #sunsets #naturebeckons #mountainmoments #shotoniphone #mountainsunset #traveldiaries #precorona (at Mussoorie) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-OS-R-nZ7n/?igshid=s4nue29o1hq0

When we reached Lal Tibba, one of the highest points in Mussoorie, we were mesmerised by the breathtaking view of the Himalayan range. From here, one can even view other mountain peaks, like Badrinath and Kedarnath with a telescope. Lal Tibba located at Depot Hill in Landour, is thronged by tourists who come to witness the magical moments of sunrise and sunset from here… Breathing in the fresh air, enveloped by pine trees, and looking far away into eternity, I got a glimpse of how beautiful and immense creation is. It’s only when you exit city life, take the road less travelled, and witness scenes like this, do we get a sense of the magnanimity of life, and how small we are in comparison! #divinedestinations #spiritualsojourn #sacredjourneys #pilgrimspath #naturebeckons #mountainview #shotoniphone #naturephotography #earth #naturelovers #mountains #trees #clearskies #precorona #traveldiaries (at Lal Tibba Higesht View Pt 8.000 Ft Mussoorie) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9_EA3RniXX/?igshid=14x03tjy8wdaq

‘May what I do flow from me like a river, no forcing and no holding back, the way it is with children.’ ― Rainer Maria Rilke. As my daughter and I sat on the banks of the river Ganga, I had a chance to introspect on how I had lived so far – Perhaps not so spontaneously, perhaps holding back and more cautious than I needed to be! The river is uninterrupted and unconditional in its flow… Not wondering where it’ll go or who it’ll meet. It just flows on, ready to ride over any rock, ready to include within it any stream, and finally ready to merge into the ocean. Children are more free-flowing and instinctive like the river… For us adults to inculcate that trait again, we need to visit nature more often, and get in touch with our true selves. #riverreveries #divinedestinations #spiritualsojourn #sacredjourneys #pilgrimspath #motivationalthoughts (at Rishikesh) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9gKJ3THLvI/?igshid=er2ccm3fnli2
