Hey lovely people!
How have you all been?
I hope that my post finds you all in the best of your health and spirits.
Life has a very unique way of making you realize some particular things in your life. Sometimes, you end up in odd situations that you always wanted to avoid. You have this weird kind of feeling in which you are already scared that you might end up in the situation you are trying to avoid. But, as it is said, God has his own ways of sorting out things. He knows exactly how to soften up certain matters. Spoiler : God always wins over everything.
Coming back to the post of today, it's about a trek to Kheerganga with a cause. There is this NGO called Healing Himalayas Foundation which is run by Pradeep Sangwan. Their mission is to maintain cleanliness in the foothills of Himalayas, to develop comprehensive and holistic waste management programs that helps to protect people, roaming animals and the environment from toxic materials generated by plastic and general waste. Through their organization, they also create awareness of the need to take care for the environment surrounding Himalayas. They encourage the mass through clean up campaigns and promote healthy environmental practices in areas of the Himalayas. You can also volunteer to join their cleaning campaigns and help them save the environment.
So, I decided to join the cleaning drive to Kheerganga organized by Healing Himalayas Foundation and left for Kasol on the 28th of October. The trek had to be started the following day. All of us congregated on the 29th of October at Barshaini which is 4 kilometers from Manikaran. It's a 4-5 hours trek in total but we completed it in about 7 hours as we went up collecting all the plastic waste such as plastic bottles, wrappers of chips and candies. You are bound to be mesmerized by the view once you reach the top. Also, make sure to take a dip in the natural hot spring water which will make your body all relieved after all the walk up to that place. Though, I didn't take a bath in the hot spring water due to the nasty smell of sulphur. The next morning, we geared ourselves up and started off by collecting more of the plastic waste. It was time to walk back to the point from where we started off. You'll be amazed by the amount of waste we brought back. Also, I would like to mention here that I could not be of much help in the cleaning drive. It was a huge task in itself for me to complete the trek due to some health issues. But, I'm glad that I completed the trek and collected a bit of waste too without being sick during the whole cleaning drive.

Hope you enjoyed today's post as much as I enjoyed writing it and being a part of it. I would request you all to use dustbins to throw away all the plastic waste. It's our planet and let's make it a better place to live in. Let's join our hands together for a better cause and a better future. Even a small bit from our side can make a huge difference.
I have a little surprise for all of you the coming week.
Stay Tuned!
xoxo
