MY TRAVEL STORY

Travelling leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller. That’s what happened with me. As you all know that a trip with friends is always momentous and mine was too. It was my first trip with friends to a hillock situated in Maharashtra and whose strawberries are mouthwatering, Panchgani.

We were 4 friends travelling with a tour operator who was very sweet to kids. We got there by train, singing, playing cards and chit chatting. Once we reached we headed straight to the hotel as we were exhausted by the journey, relaxed a bit and then in the evening we went for trekking. Once we climbed up the hilltop we just had fun with nature, it was tranquil and it was a charming view. We made a camp fire. And then same way headed down. Night time, we were fully energetic. We had a plan to watch horror movies, eat snacks, play but unfortunately they forced us to sleep early as next day we had to wake up at 4 in the morning.

Mesmerizing

The next day it was freezing. We set off to the jungle so that we could see the animals out of their shed as it was early morning. It was fantastic and now we were progressing to a strawberry event. We also took part in a competition where we had to munch around 30 to 40 strawberries in a minute. Unluckily I did not win but my stomach was about to burst any second. At night was the DJ party!! We danced for hours.

The following day we went for gun shooting, horse riding, rappelling and walking round a waterfall. It was so far the 3rd day and the days were passing by pretty quickly. We were enjoying ourselves so much that we almost forgot that after the trip ends, we will have to go back home and study. After that the 3rd day evening we were given 2 hours for just shopping in Mapro. I bought loads of things or a bit extra as I was over exited because it was my first time shopping without mom.

 At night we boarded the train back home with longing and fond memories and pics, not to mention that I had about 100 fights with my friend just in 4 days but yeah you aren’t friends if you don’t fight. So yeah that was it and I am definitely going to another outing next vacation.
