The True Gods
Ind1anMartyr
OK guys this is a different kind of article. Seeing passions at an all time high, though it might be good to cool off with the frigid Himalayas. All this talk about "Gods" and their virtual baggage amuses me, so I thought, why not introduce you all to some true Gods - of which the most amazing is the great Mt. Khangchendzonga.
I recently went on my favourite trek to Goechala pass (Khangchendzonga Base camp on the India side) in West Sikkim and thought I would share some of the pics so that some of the guys playing eRepublik would also know how amazing our Himalayas are and maybe cultivate a love for trekking (one of my passions) 😃
So without further ado ...
That's us - Black Cobra is one of my companies and the 4 of us went as Black Cobra dudes. From L to R - Me, Tapan.N (he plays eRep), Dawa Sherpa, Digvijay Gehlot (ex eRep player)

The Prize - the utterly glorious, spell binding, astounding ........... (fill in all superlatives here) Mt. Khangchendzonga in the morning sunrise at 5:15 am... pink and then gold. Sheer magic! Height 15,500 feet.
Saying goodbye till next year winter! (The views are splendid in winter but boy was it cold... -15 with a chill factor of -5/-8 degrees due to wind!)
I have many more pics and videos, if anyone is truly interested in doing it, we are working on a documentary and if you message me I will keep in mind and give you the link to it once finished
😃
Till then, stay safe, enjoy trekking - be one with the TRUE Gods on Earth - the Himalayas!
JAI HIND!!!!

closer to God... amazing experience!
Black Cobras o/
thanks for the comment mate 🙂 The Himalayas are truly massive and humbling. The Romanian and Moldavian peaks are stunningly beautiful and maybe one day I will be there as well. For now, hoping to become good enough to begin truly climbing the peaks. The experience is indeed really close to God - awe inspiring.
Lovely clicks!!
thanks Navin bhai 🙂 Long time!!!
Beautiful 😮 o7 to the true Gods *_*
great pics and love to go there.
Awesome!!!
Sadly we dont have any mountains like that in the alps...
AWESOME!!!! 😃 😃
'Sheer magic' pretty much sums it up! Keep it up guys! It's awesome!
yeh it was tough, when we are trekking it feels like very tough with heavy bags. This trek teach me about the importance of oxygen and yes Gravity too 😃. But when we reached at the top, i shouted "I LOVE U Khangchendzonga". Really i was in love with her. The Morning sun rise was making her colour changed. i can't finish it in thousands of word also...
i just want to say... i m happy i did it and i'll do it again 🙂
...and again 😃 and again!
WoW , simply awesome 🙂
great and awesome
yaar jannat hai...thanks for sharing

awesome
