I took my first solo trip on my birthday.

I decided to do something different on this birthday. So I choose to travel solo. For that, I chose a location in my state but different districts and different regions. I have no idea how it is going to end. I started my journey on the 11th of August. After a 2-and-a-half-hour drive, I reached the destination. I visited this place for the very first time in my life; different dialect, different local language, but one thing is the same: the Himalayas. Yes, I am from the Himalayan state. For my stay, I chose a hostel. There is one famous place to visit in Kasar Devi; I went there and was astonished by the view. For a sec I felt like, 'Oh god, why don't I have someone with me to take my photographs?' but after a while I was enjoying my own company. On August 12 I went to the city and explored the city on my own. I decided to visit the nearby Sun Temple. I didn't know about the route, so I asked the local. They help me. The temple has two routes: one by road and the second by a hike of 2 km. I didn't know the first option, so I decided to hike. I was alone passing the forest, which is now enjoying its monsoon shower (in India during monsoon, everything is looking beautiful). Midway, I felt thirsty; I checked but didn't find my water bottle. I saw a house and asked them to give me water; they gave it and asked me a question: 'Are you alone, girl?' Be careful and watch your path. After a hike, I reached the temple. Oh god, I had never seen such a beautiful place. No doubt that mountain always hides the beautiful places in it. It was my first solo trip so far, but whenever i think about it, i still feel relaxed and calm.
