The mountains weather is more moody than I am.

The mountains are best known for their changing weather. The whether at the high altitude region can change without any prior ultimatum. You need to be quite alert when you are travelling to mountains. The scorching sun can turn into dense fog or heavy rain in a matter of minutes. Clear skies in the morning can turn into heavy rain or snow by the afternoon. Or the temperature drops very rapidly as soon as the sun sets. I heard of it but this time I had the priviliage to witness it. The mountain welcomes me with a bright sunny day. The UV rays were too strong to bear. But the next morning it was pleasant foggy whether that took me by surprise.

After completing all the formalities of admission process, I left my kid at the hostel and came back to the city looking for an accomodation. I manage to get a room at a reasonable rate. It was quite a hectic day. Reaching to a new place, strolling under the extreme heat and then the gruelling process. It was not easy and the heat had taken a toll on my body. This was first time I left my kid in a hostel. I planned to make a visit to tue hostel area thrpugh local conveyance to understand the local route and transport services. I woke up early morning to find fog everywhere. It was not a dense fog. But down the valley you can see the thick layer of whiteness.

I find the whether too pleasant to enjoy. The drop of temperature was too tempting and the cool breeze just made me fresh to tour down to the hostel area. It was 15 km away from the city. So I need to understand the bus servies available in the city. Hiring a cab for commuting is going to be a costly affair. So I made sure to understand the local conveyance. I set off to the bus stand by quering about its whereabout to every single person that met me on the road. But down the road it was the majestic fog engulfing tye area which excites me more. I like the fresh air of the nature.

The local bus services on the mountain were much cheaper and better conveyance mkde. They were the lifeline for localities. Running tye zig zig roads in not an easy task. Still there are private as well as government operator working in tandom to meet the local demands. The servies were quite good and timely. Even the driver and ticket collector were friendlier. They were quick to understand that i am not local so they provide all helping hand. They drop me to a point 5KM away from my destination. There is a different route bus that will take me to my place. I though to capture the location which will help me in future.

The small town hilly people are cleanliness friendly. Unlike in big ities where you can pee in open spaces, you cannot do that in hills. May be they do worship the mountains and the nature. After dropping at the point. I felt like peeing. I asked a local person, if I can openly to which he asked me to check at the nearest petrol pump and use their toilets. I felt good finding even less literate lerson are so thoughtful. In big citis, people do not bother about such etiquette. I think they find it hard ro climb the stairs of goodness.

While the whether at the mountain are unexpected the lofe is too complicated too. There are many cases and instances where many lives loss due to landslide in mountain. But these mountain people live so dangerously. While walking towards the hostel, I noticed how the building were erected in middle of the mountains. While there is landslide, there a high rise constructed just a little farther. It was quite a sight that may give sign of danger.

I firmly say, life in mountain is not easy. Still people finding it ease to spend their life in whatever means thay can afford. From whether to tough life, they have adapted. Not an easy for other people to adjust so nicely. Anyhow, I met my kod and good tonsee she slept well at her new room. She also need to adapt for her career to prosper. It does not took too long to see the whether again changes. Soon tye white foggy smoke disappear to bright sun.

My early morning tri to the hostel does proved fruitful. I enjoy some majestic views and never stopped appreciating the gifts of nature. Soon the whether again took an u-turn. Another sunny day to face untill it turns cooler by evening. Wish the weather remain pleasant throughout the day to make it more memorable trip.
