Our group was divided into about 5 teams, and each team had a guide. everyone went with their guide to reach MULA GALA. The reason it is called "Mula Gala" is that once you climb to the top, the compass doesn't point north it spins in every direction. Then I was with two of my friends from school, 💥  Rashmi and Prabasha. newly because of the cold one of us got a painful leg cramp (muscle tightness). 😓 we had to stop in the forest area just below where the rock was looked.  however, the people in front of didn't realize we had stopped and the danger, we didn't notice our surroundings. Suddenly, we realized the three of us were truly lost. 😟 we had a habit of n...

The darkness combined with the snow made me feel like was a character an ancient tale, because that mysterious environment was mixed with the snow that extent. So, our cottage was situated on a hillside near a reservoir. to my surprise, the snow-covered trees filling the garden were actually apple tr...
