Deo Tibba – The Magical Trekking Experience

Damm!!! We all need vacations at least for two weeks. We want to do, try out adventure every year. Forget this daily routine: eat, sleep, pray, repeat. You must rectify this blunder. It should be eat, sleep, fit & be adventurous. The essence of beauty, you will not see in your city which is completely polluted. Gear up & see the magnificent glimpse in Manali. Yes, I had been on a trek with two stupid friends of mine & returned back with around 30 new friends. Wait…One Moment. It was my secondary reason of going on a trek to make new friends. The primary reason is to see myself as an adventurer. To climb 12,500 feet & yes your parents will tell you this is stupid. Of course, it is stupid. But for us, this is what we called craziness. Oh, Hello! You must be thinking this trek is easy. If you are an adventurer & ready to endure pain, then it will be too easy. Don’t you even dare to think that this is a picnic.

So what happened to us when we went to base camp was terrible. Wait…I am not complaining about the facility provided by YHAI. YHAI facilities were outstanding. From trek leader to the chef, everything was exquisitely well crafted. The problem arises when we were in that group where you will see all aged people between 40-50. Me & my besties were not at all happy. Still, we managed to stay with them for 2 days. All we have seen that is “Rules & Regulations” by senior citizens. One interesting thing I would like to share. The day before the trek I watched the movie Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani & that’s where you see yourself as EXPECTATION & REALITY.

Yeh Jawaani Hai Dewaani Trek Actually Started (Yeh haseen waadiyaan ye khula aasmaan)

Let’s give them a huge round of applause to my bunch of idiot friends. We managed to change the group & what we have seen that is HEAVEN for us. They all were special & we begin our day with rappelling. Apart from all fun, we started climbing towards upward & if you ask about our TENTS, we treated all tent like a 5 Star Hotel. We ended up with a basic trekking which includes Acclimatization & Rappelling. We started our journey from Katrain to Tilgan camp. It was neither easy nor tough. We started trekking for around six hours to reach Tilgan Camp which is situated at an altitude of 7000 feet. The climate was up to the mark. In the evening, we were freezing a bit. But the stay was manageable & of course the staple diet will be unforgettable. We were the bunch of 12 trekkers at one tent, but later we joined other trekkers to get ourselves more entertain. Freezing intensity level has gone up to -3 degree Celsius. It was not at all bearable, but hugging each other was the best comfort level at that moment. And we have allotted teddy bear with us. He is none other than Darshan who is way too innocent & decided to give a free hug.

Crap Shit: How Can I Forget The Senior Guy…Oh Yes! I Am Talking About Non-Sense Person a.k.a Group Leader Dhrub.

Please don’t call him a flirt guy. He never shouts on us. He barks…NOOOOONSSSSSSSSSSENNNNNNNSEEEEEEEEE!!!! Everybody Fall In Line….DT 21…Please take your pack lunch...so on & so forth…

If you know me well, then you can understand my SARCASM. We found one of the best group leader & sorted person ever. He gives us a freedom to do whatever we loved to do without any complain. He is a professor of Endeavour classes, but when he was a part of this trek, he forgets every dam & literally enjoyed with us. Trekkers will never forget his signature words like Nonsense, DT 21, etc. He took care of each one of us. We are really very thankful to have him in DT 21 with his sweet buddies.

5 Stars Tent

So our base camps were situated in Tilgan, Sarotu, Dumdumi, Kharabandari & Jobri Nalla. All we have got the best facilities. All camps have maintained certain time slots. We have got blankets & sleeping bags. Eventually we couldn’t manage to do campfire, but we had a great time when most of them participated in the game call Mafia, Truth & Dare, stupid discussions, etc.

Mudde Ki Baat Karte Hai

Cracking this trek was a too easy task for us. Glad to see the bunch of groups like Amravati boys, Guala group, Dhrub sir group, Rajkot Gorgeous Gals, Rutu’s group and other individuals who decided to join us and make this trek more mesmerizing. They all were package of entertainment. Everyone has got their inner talent. The major communication was Gujurati & minor was Marathi. When they were having conversations, it was so easy for me to understand. Nobody will forget Vedant grand performance in a Tent. Every one of us has taken a bunch of memories in this expedition trek.
