You can imagine my excitement as I set out on my journey to Visapur Fort with my group.
Experience:
Let me share a small incident with you, which scared us when we were climbing the mountain.
We were all heading towards the hill and due to heavy rain, the path was wet and swampy. Suddenly one of the students from the junior batch fell and got injured which scared everyone including me because the fort is positioned at an altitude of 1084 metres above sea level and to reach the top of the hill we needed to cross a rough terrain which was risky as anyone could get hurt without appropriate footwear and double clothing.
But Thanks to our faculty members who motivated our group to climb the mountain with vigor and bravery.
Having a supportive and encouraging guide can make a challenging and potentially dangerous activity like trekking, fun and enjoyable. But it is also important to be cautious and safe while trekking to prevent accidents and for a smooth joyride.
The Beautiful Mountain:
As we climbed further, the scenic beauty with the clouded sky, lush green trees, and the outline of the hills against the sky had become more stirring, and I felt a sense of accomplishment with each step. The trek was adventurous and full of fun as we made our way up the hill, passing through the thick forests and coming across several beautiful sights.
The day we spent at the Visapur Fort will remain a memorable one, full of adventure, learning, and fun. My remarkable experience indeed sparked a love for touring and exploring the greatness and beauty of nature.
