Night Camping at Asthanmarg Srinagar

Asalmualaikum

 Dear Readers.

First of all I am thankful for choosing my travel blog to read.

INTRODUCTION: 

It was Saturday & I wanted to make Vlog for my youtube channel Waju The traveller badly, On Friday I planned to visit Doidhpathri Budgam for Night Camping, but at the end moment my friends dumped & i was stucked at office on Saturday. But I knew my best friend tasaduq will come to Srinagar & we will go somewhere for the Night camping, He joined me By 5:30pm & we went for the night camping.

HOW WE DECIDED THE DESTINATION:

We used Google to aeeach the nearby camping sites in Srinagar, we couldn't find any. & I remember of my friend he is traveller pro.. I made him a call & asked about the plan.. He suggested me 3 destinations. Khymber,mamneth & Asthanmarg. We choosed Khymber cause it was the nearest, we were already late..

Point: whenever we are going for Night Camping or want to travel any place, research properly & ask the one who had been there already.

TRANSPORT :

   You Have to use self mode of transport as it will save your time & can take your stuffs for the stay.

ROADS:

 Roads are good halfway & Rough after off road. It will give u joy of being travelling on offbeat road.

THINGS TO TAKE AT CAMPING:

  You Just need to take basic things during camping like Tent, sleeping bag, 1 stove, eatery stuff, 1 Jacket, 1Rain coat. & battery or powebank.

MY STORY OF UNPLANNED TRIP:

    Hi, As I already mentioned the plan in introduction. I will start here from after that. We started our trip to Khymber & on the way we had famous mawa with falooda icecream it was delicious. 

After reaching Khymber by 8 pm we have been told by the locals it's not permissible to do camping there as recently there was new police camp established there.

We took a new route to Asthanmarg. We had a joy . It was already 9om & we were still figuring out the place to settle our tent⛺, After reaching Asthan marg by 9 pm, we reached at the top but there were noone without b2 of us... Roads were rough & dangerous. 1 mistake & we are down Through  the side  road. 

     It was beautiful 🤩, we were witnessing the city from the top.it was beautiful. I wish you could see through my eyes. It was like, I was in the sky & stars were beneath me.  We   covered little distance by walk. And spent 45 minutes enjoying the view. After that we decided bro go back to our place. We cancelled the program as it was not wise decision to spent night there in dense place without informing anyone.

So we moved back by 11 :30 reached to room , had dinner & slept.

It is said that once Baba sahib was sitting close to the "Much" (burning fire) and a piece of wood was not catching fire i.e. (It did not burn at all ) Baba sahib became angry and threw that piece of wood saying if you cannot burn keep on fruiting (Baldi Nahin Te phaldi Ro) and ultimately this piece of wood grew in to an evergreen fruit plant which bears fruits and leaves throughout the year and is not affected at all by a change in season.
