After almost five hours of walking and enjoying the hike, we reached the cliff's summit.

"We should've come here when it was time for sunset!!" Inaya complained and I chuckled, "Yeah! And then get stuck into a snowstorm and then die, only to be found frozen like Mammoths". I scoffed and she passed me a glare that signalled 'danger'.

I just laughed, wrapping an arm around her shoulder and pulling her closer. "Look over there", I pointed towards the mountain peaks around us and she giggled happily. She held the camera up, that hung loosely around her neck and began clicking pictures.

We took a few selfies too.

It was past two pm by now! The sun hadn't appeared since morning, it was gloomy and way too much cold. Even though I rarely caught cold, but my throat itched a little, the type that signalled a cold or cough.

I ignored it as we stayed there for half an hour more and then decided to return.

Too tired to walk back down, we opted for a mule ride.

The team we had joined for the trek, decided to leave to visit the Rohtang pass after an hour of break for lunch and freshening up. We were assigned a room in one of the resthouses. The lunch was delivered after a while.

We ate, chatting casually about the day and the plans ahead. She occasionally laughed and ranted about how much she was enjoying this and I couldn't be happier, knowing that she wasn't worried anymore.

Then, we traveled through the narrow and curvy path in a bus.

But what's the point of adventures without a risk?

Inaya was silently gazing out of the window, clicking pictures timely and showing me everytime she clicked one and asking if that was clear and good. I just sat beside her, admiring her everytime she smiled.

We reached after a dangerous drive of almost an hour and got down.

And the view, it literally caught my breath in my throat..This spectacle was the most mesmerizing one I had ever witnessed in my life. The snow covered mountains, the curvy borders of the roads running between them. The snow, spread like a mat on the ground, made it more appealing.
