Epic Trail Run over the Hollow Hills

Hollow Hills

Epic Trail Run over the Hollow Hills, this is one of the most thrilling write up sent to us!

Hills and Mountains have fascinated my soul ever since myself was of around one feet of height! Me always wanted to see what lies behind that hill or the mountain.
Snow and The Mountains

Every time I go hiking to the new hills or the mountains or even go the same hill or mountains my curiosity always gets refreshed.

This Hollow Hills post is about one of the hill among many under the range of high Dhauladhar Mountains. This hill had my attention from the time myself was in Dharamsala.

Every time my eyes always looked for the possible trail to reach the top point of this hill. Since myself been in online mapping from a long time so also looked in and around this one to start my solo hike.

But sometime it is not easy going solo on trekking and that too when there are new trails. There are many fear factors that bound you and stop one from taking the leap of faith.

"That was an epic soaring flight of that Himalayan Vulture, some peaceful moments then plucking of the Rhododendron flowers and then made some unwise decision and then another epic trail run over the Hollow Hills!"

I remember, having taken the estimation of the distance for the top point of the hill and time needed for the same, but it was always only on maps.

Then come one day, some of my new friends had decided to join in for this trek and we decided to trek to the top point, which by that time was covered in thick snow.

We started late for this trek and were going too easy, so we ended up covering only 2/3rd of the trek and due to lack of day time were forced to retreat. Here once again my climb to that hill remained incomplete.

After some days, there was fresh snowfall and I decided to retry my attempt and called up my another friend to join in but he could not, so again it was me and myself.

This time I started the climb as early as possible by 9:00 am and went somewhat easy on that unfinished trek.

Before hitting this trail, I had taken some information from my friend about the possible trek for the final climb. But once I was at the bottom or say the base of that hill, I made a calculated attempt to climb for the top point from the front face with enough snow for safe stepping and with the support of a wooden trekking stick, which was made from the dried out twig that was found during trail tracing.

So instead of going back side and around that hill through deep snow of some 4 feet, I climbed straight with careful stepping and enjoying the angular climb with wider views of Kangra and Dharamshala.

It was may be 10:30 or 11:30 and I was at the top point with the sight of Dhauladhar Matter Horn welcoming me and a long flow of curly shaped cornice in some distance.

Myself stayed there for some moments, then untied my boots and started walking over the dry grass which was partially covered in the snow.

Took some photographs of the cornice and then made some footprints to leave a message of "Leave Your Footprints and not your garbage".
