This is an experience of a . I cannot even express the emotions I felt on reaching there. It was so extremely overwhelming. Yesterday I wrote about how my days 7, 8 and 9 passed, but when I reached the top, I was so overjoyed that none of it mattered. In that moment all the pain was gone. All that I was feeling was joy and pride for myself. I was also feeling extremely grateful to the Universe to bring this whole experience to me. Today when I am sitting and writing this blog at my home and remembering these moments, I know they will never come back in my life again and I feel that every single experience has been a part of my self-growth and development. Even if I do this trek again, I may not have the same feeling, because the first is always the first and very special.
On reaching the top, I tried calling up my hubby as there was weak signal up there, but I could not. I wanted him to be with me in that moment. The amount of support he gave me all throughout has been as good as he being with me in real.
I was in tears, I was crying, but this time it was out of joy. I could not believe it that I did it. The last few days were so difficult and I was taken down completely. At one point of time, I felt I could no longer go on and then here I was. All I wanted in that moment was someone of my own to be around to hug, but then that was not possible as I was on a solo journey. I made short videos for my family and then send it to them after I came down.
The Khumbu Glacier views are magnificent, they were out of the world. A scene that I would never ever get to see again in my life, it was a moment of all mixed feelings. I finally felt that I did something very worth in my life that I can always feel proud about and a super strong memory for life. I always wanted to have one big achievement in my life and here it was finally. I always get very inspired and motivated by those people who make big accomplishments in life, who conquer the difficult paths of life and I wanted to do something like that too for myself for my own self-development.
I feel we pamper ourselves too much and in that bargain, we miss to explore some of the real paths of life. These last 9 days have been a game changer for me. Whether it was the food, the daily necessities, the trek itself, the weather conditions, the obstacles at so many steps, dealing with my mental condition, it was all a learning for me and rediscovering myself at every step as I moved ahead.
When I set out for this mission, some of my friends challenged me that I will not be able to do it, because I am not a regular trekker. At times even I had doubts on myself if I could do it or not. Then I would think, if it's not now it will be never, so come may what I have to prepare myself and do this.
At the same time, I felt, I was not completely ready. But then would there ever be a time when I would be 100% ready, I am not sure of that.
It's a story that I will tell my grandchildren with a lot of pride.
I am back home now and my health is completely good. I did rest a lot for 2 days after coming down and now I feel fresh once again to start with my day to day activities.
