Ascending > Descending!

The mountain ⛰️ peak, from a great distance, appears scalable with ease

As the miles are covered, the vision clears to reveal that the peak isn't that visible

The altitude of the hill alter the attitude of the viewer and raise the awareness level

The aspiring mountaineer realizes that the mountain is standing tall at a height of 4000' from the foothills

The mountain terrain exposed steep slopes, rocky as well gravel surface, patches of greenery and a confined summit area

The first 2000' of climbing was a relatively bit easier for the climber thou the gravel terrain did test the climbing skills

To manoeuvre the slopes and the rocks, the mountaineer took the guidance of a local guide whose generations were the natives of the soil

The native guide guided the climber to a rocky cavern where faded rock paintings adorned the rocks which style and subjects appeared, prehistoric

According to the guide, this rock art is mentioned in their folk songs which tunes were reverberating for thousands of years, passed down to generations

The view from the peak was spectacular, miles and miles of the plateau spread across like a carpet woven with the rich greenery, sand and the blue river

The spot at the ground level from where the peak looked easily scalable wasn't traceable but the vision from the peak revealed a lot more than the spot

The mountaineer exhaled and began the descending journey while ascending in thoughts that there's a lot more to see than what's seen

What appears as a simple task might turn out to be a testing task!

What appears as a simple subject might turn out to be a gold mine of knowledge!
