The Journey Begins

We’d been waiting for this day for so long—our trip to the Kelo mountains. I went with Hemant, Dharmendra, Naveen(1), another Naveen(2), and me, Semant. We were all set to see the sunrise from the mountaintop. The excitement was real, but we had no idea how wild things were about to get.

The Bus Mishap

Our adventure started off with a funny twist. Hemant and the two Naveens missed their bus by just two minutes! It was bad timing, but honestly, it made the whole thing even more memorable. Eventually, we all met up and were ready to hit the trail—just a bit behind schedule.

The Unexpected Detour

Instead of following the usual route, we decided to be a little adventurous and try a new path. Spoiler: bad idea! The trail was steep, rocky, and way tougher than we expected. But we kept going, laughing at ourselves and pushing through.

Hilarity Ensues

As we climbed, the group’s personalities started shining. Hemant and Naveen(2) were all over the place—loud, excited, and full of energy—while Dharmendra and Naveen(1) were calm and peaceful, taking in the view. I was somewhere in the middle, just enjoying the moment and the madness around me.

The Feathered Surprise

During our climb, we found a beautiful black feather lying on the trail. It felt like a special little reward from nature. Even though we were scratched up and tired, we stopped and took tons of pictures. Because of course—if you didn’t post it, did it even happen?

The Summit and Shenanigans

Finally, after what felt like forever, we made it to the top. The view was breathtaking. Mountains glowing in the morning sun stretched out in every direction. We decided to make some Maggi to celebrate, but first we cleaned up all our stuff and the area around us. Then Hemant turned into a wild Maggi thief, running around with the pot like a maniac. We laughed till our stomachs hurt, took a bunch of goofy photos, and just soaked it all in.

The Unplanned Descent

Eventually, it was time to head down, and we chose a different path to see a waterfall. That decision turned into another adventure—aka, getting completely lost in the forest. We had no clue where we were but thanks to Google Maps (and some luck), we figured our way out. It was confusing but also kind of epic.

The Jungle Odyssey

Walking through the forest, we ran into all sorts of crazy things—giant spiders, beautiful butterflies, and some strange mushrooms that looked tasty but were definitely not worth the risk. Hemant even slipped and fell into a river at one point, which only made things funnier!

The Animal Fiasco

Just when we thought it couldn’t get any more chaotic, Hemant accidentally stepped in animal poop. The smell was awful, but we couldn’t stop laughing. We helped him wash off in the river—it was gross but unforgettable.

The Slippery Slope

Near the river, we hit a super slippery slope. No matter how careful we were, we kept sliding and falling like total amateurs. We were all muddy, tired, and bruised—but honestly, we were also having the time of our lives.

The Return and Revelry

By the time we got back, it was already late morning. Our schedule was completely ruined, but none of us cared. We went home, devoured some hot homemade fritters, took a selfie, and ended the day with full hearts and tired feet.
