A Sunday in the Hills | Long Walks, Village Life & Summer in Uttarakhand
It was Sunday, so I set out on my weekly long walk through the beautiful hills of Uttarakhand.
Early in the journey, I came across a dead sparrow by the roadside, probably hit by a passing vehicle. I gently moved it away from the road before continuing my walk.
Along the way, I met several village children who recognized me from a distance. They greeted me enthusiastically, and I waved back. Their smiling faces made the morning even more special.
After covering around 7 kilometers, I reached one of my favorite tea shops, where I had planned to enjoy a bun omelette. Unfortunately, there were no eggs available that day, so I settled for a simple cup of tea while admiring the breathtaking view of Kharsadi village. Farmers were busy preparing their fields for the upcoming paddy transplantation season, a sure sign that the monsoon is not far away.
I continued walking for a few more kilometers and reached another favorite stop of mine at Danda Kyari village. This place offers a stunning panoramic view of Kharsadi village and the surrounding hills. There, I enjoyed some Pahado Wali Maggi mixed with Aloo Bhujia, along with another cup of tea. After spending some time relaxing and soaking in the peaceful atmosphere, I began my return journey to Mori.
By the end of the day, I had completed nearly 16 kilometers on foot.
On the way back, I saw a group of children enjoying their summer vacation by bathing in the Kedarganga River. As soon as they spotted me, they shouted, “BEO Sir!” I waved back, and their cheerful response reminded me how beautifully rural children spend their holidays—close to nature, free from screens, and full of joy.
It was a simple day, but a deeply fulfilling one—filled with scenic views, meaningful encounters, village life, and the quiet happiness that comes from walking through the hills of Uttarakhand.
