My pursuit of my Achan’s dream – the 12th trip – Dec 2018 – Dayara Bugyal Trek Trek Altitude -11978 ft
ayara Bugyal is a perfect trek for beginners where you get a beautiful view of Alpine meadows. It was amazing to walk thru lovely mixed forests of oaks, maples, rhododendrons and pines. The view of Bandarpoonch peak from Dayara top is magnificent and beautiful.
It was a first trek for my pink back pack on my shoulders too and was extremely proud to carry it around for the first time in life.
I had missed the joy of carrying my backpack in previous treks due to my rigid thinking. After my two surgeries on my right forearm, I had the fear of carrying anything heavy .But after accepting the fact that focussed training even on weak arm and shoulders could help me strengthen it just changed the game for me. Mindset shift helped me achieve my first milestone carrying my own backpack towards my dream journey.
My takeaways were
ABC of a Good Backpack to carry is Accessibility, Balance and Compactness.
ABC of Growth mindset I learnt was Great Attitude, Being Brave and Accepting Challenges To be continued…. Stories from this trek condensed in my upcoming book.
