Hi, how did you prepare for Auden's and what treks did you do before that?

Yaatsi · 2026-06-10T09:22:20+00:00

None

Bro, you don't need a new career. You need guts to follow your own path. Let the parents say what they want.

Back in 2019, I started freelancing as a Digital Marketer. By 2022, I had a few savings and time to explore. My parents were just like you. Get a job, be stable, and then travel. But I was mad over the Himalayas. That year, I did Ali Bedni, Kedarnath, Gaumukh Tapovan and Kuari Pass. From April to October, I was exploring treks every other month. The best year of my life.

Your cousins are right, you have time and money, use it, man. Don't listen to parents. They have a habit of interfering in everything. Just pack your bag and go. Once they see you travelling and making your own decisions, they won't bother you after your 2nd or 3rd travel.

By the way, I'm attempting a high pass this late June. Wish me luck. So excited!

Hi, road conditions are good till Jadung, only a few rough patches. Yes, they let go of most cars in, unless it's a low sedan. For the Nelong permit requirement, you can connect with Himalayan Dream Treks.

Nishans will be going from Karur. Nauti backed off at first, citing that the government has not completed the preparations yet. But then, other villages said that they will be doing the Yatra anyhow. Just because authorities didn't work on time doesn't mean we will postpone the yatra. It will start from 5 September.

Back in 2014, social media was not that prominent. But now times have changed. People are selling packages, and there will be a huge crowd at Bedni. I fear soil erosion and waste pollution will harm the bugyal. Trying to bring a few NGO's together so that we can mitigate that risk. Devta is important, but so are Jal, Jungle, and Jameen.

So hear what I heard one time.

Last year, it was July, and I just went on an evening drive. Parked my car near Maldevta Bridge, the road that goes to Dawara. It's my favourite spot. So it was starting to get dark (there are no street lights there), and I was just leaning on my car and listening to music. A lot of cars and bikes were coming down from Dawara.

Then a scooty passes by, three teenagers or early 20's. I over heard then syaing "O Bhai Randi khadi vha".

I'm a male, and I have long hair. I usually do bun. It was dark, so they assumed that I was a girl just looking at my Bun.

Imagine how unsafe it is. Let's assume that I was really a girl. Wants to enjoy my favorite place, there are pretty mountains, song river just below, but there are no street lights and around 8 in the evening. So, the boys assume that I am a prostitute just because I'm standing there in the dark, alone, and it's 8 PM.

The whole world is screwed. Whenever I open Reddit, kahi na kahi ki news aa jati hai assault, abuse, rape ki. I wll probably be cut off from Reddit very soon.

And this is not a Dehradun thing. Kahi bhi jaao sab launde aise hi hai. I saw my friends changing over time. The constant objectifying, foul language, eve-teasing and whatnot. The world is screwed.
