First of all we wish you a very happy Akshaya Tritiya, which is believed to be a good time to start anything new. Either it's a new job, buying a new home, or a new car. People prefer to do a lot of shopping on this particular day. It is believed to be a great occasion to buy Gold. You can see a crowd of people shopping for Jewelers on this day, all across the nation. And with this Char Dham Yatra is also open to the public. Though the bookings are almost full for the season, the government is planning to increase the duration of the yatra this year, which may extend to October.

But with that a lot is also happening around us which we cant ignore. Gun violence in the US and the current situation in Sudan. And on the other hand there is climate change, which is a major challenge which we are witnessing in our day today life. Most of the states in India are suffering from heat waves including the whole North East. Which left Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir and Uttarakhand as the top preferred destination. In our previous post we told you about a trekking destination in Pauri Garhwal, but today we want to share some fun facts about Deeba Trek which may excite you to change your plans and explore this location.

Many of you are not even aware of this, but Pauri Garhwal district holds first position in India when it comes to cases of panther attacks on local residents. Just pick any local newspaper and you will definitely see a report where there is a panther attack on the people while they are farming or working on their lands. This is not a new situation for locals, but is a major factor which forces people to leave their villages for employment, as farming is no longer a safer option for them. But what we are disclosing here is some fun facts which are true to our research and knowledge.

Though Deeba Trek is now open to go as there is a decline in temperature, we suggest you visit there in May’s end for the best experience. As this journey starts from an unpopulated remote location towards a mountain top with 4-6 hours of trek in dense forest that too at night. According to people, there has not been a single incident, where one can hear a story, about a panther attacking the pilgrims during their trek. This is how this place is blessed as the stories named it Deeba Maa the protector of the valley. You may reach the top, but when the sun shines you may question yourself? how i am even capable of reaching here.

So we are planning to take reservations from May start till August, that too on a first come first serve basis, as some dates are very crucial. After that we would like you to join us virtually for this year's ritual. Though the world is at the verge of World War 3 due to the US and China conflict over power, and there is no hope of ending the Russia-Ukraine war either. We pray for all those who are affected by this happening which we don't have control over.
