Introduction.
Have you got bored by visiting Hill stations in India or want to know about new "India tourist place" or India Hill station? I am going to share you my journey of a beautiful Mount climbing in India . Actually I was always curious to know about special India tour places and search many but never got any opportunity to visit them. But this time I found a heaven in Jharkhand which is Indian State .
If you also love Mount tracking then read my beautiful journey patiently and just packup your bag and move on.
Planning of the Mount climbing.
Every beauty can't be described either she is girl, gaddi, or Nature. I definitely won't include boy in this philosophy :P
While we were there in Xavier we made many plaan but non of them got successful and i know am not alone who's plaan has never got successful.
Few days back accidentally we made a plaan to Do mount tracking of Parasnath hill which is situated in Jharkhand and it's nearly just 30 km away from my home. I had been thinking to reach the top of this mountain but because of it's height neither i dared to do it nor my luck favoured me.

But finally this time our plaan was going to be successful, all of us were agree to go there.
A day before the tracking my friend Ranjit told me that he has some work and he might not go with us, i was quite shocked and definitely angry that how could he deny it? And Since we had to stay at his home one day before the trip. So it was clear that if he would deny it then it will be cancelled!!
But luckily i tried to convince him and finally he got ready to go there.

At 24th December 2020 we assembled at the home of Ranjit, since next day early morning at 3am we had to leave the home for Madhuban, Parasnath hill.
So at 24th December we all Including me, Rahul singh, Ranjit Yadav, Mahesh, Sunil and Elder brother of Ranjit. Ranjit's brother had not to go with us but when he saw us he got excited , i saw his situation and offered him to join us and as expected he accepted it happily.

| Preparing for the Trip |
Since next whole day we had to spend our time at Parasnath hill so we thought to cook something to take it along with us. So what dish could have been better except Litti, yes you would must have heard about it somewhere.
At night we bought required food stuff and cooked delicious Litti. of course, normally people doesn't consider that boys can cook good but it's totally lie, I have seen people who cook delicious food for their girlfriend :P
 |

At night of 24th Dec we packed everything and got ready for the next day, approximately we all slept nearly 11:30pm. I requested everyone to set an alarm of 2:30Am so that we could leave at 3:am. Everyone Including Rahul singh shown his confidence that I'll wake up before all and will work as a alarm. But somewhere i had doubt at all so i my myself did set a alarm of 2:30am.
25 December the day of Tracking to Parasnath Mountain, Jharkhand.
At early Morning i realized that i turned off my alarm many times, i woke up and saw the time it was 2:40am, i saw that all of my friends were sleeping, i called everyone to wakeup and again i slept!! Few moments later i realized that we had to move from here at 3:am and now already the time is 2:43am. Instantly i woke up and wake everyone up.
We were total 6 person, Since Madhuban, Parasnath Pahad was 17 km away from our location Dumri, Parasnath station so We traveled the destination over 2 bikes, yes it's illegal, but it was damn cold bro, and we didn't wanted to freeze before the journey.

We Climbing the Parasnath mountain
At early morning 5am |
We started our Climbing nearly at 4:40am after keeping our bike at local shopkeeper. Actually we wanted to travel through bike but there was a notice board that it's illegal, so we postponed that idea.
I saw a board that the total distance of Parasnath mountain by road and stairs was nearly 9.8 km and the direct height of parasnath mountain was approximately 4.4 km.
When we started the tracking few steps it was normal but as soon as we climbed nearly 100 meters i started feeling different kind of pain at my thigh, and i was quite sure that i might leave the climbing soon, because it was getting worsen at each step i was tracking. But somehow i managed to continue it with all of my friends, and later got to know that all of them were suffering from different kind of discomfortnes.

When we tracked nearly 2 km by Road & stairs we found a temple there but since we were getting let so we don't go inside it.
Till 2.5 km we didn't found a single person who were tracking Parasnath mountain at that time, whole route was silent, we were just watching the beauty of Parasnath mountain. Trees and leaves were covered in the darkness of time but the absence of Sun or light couldn't hide it's beauty, couldn't hide it's purity. that time i think there's temperature would be nearly 8-10℃ but we were feeling quite heat and there wasn't any mystery behind it because We were climbing the mountain so it was normal to feel it. When we tracked more distance we found two groups who had started the tracking before us, we felt competitive that how could they do it, and we put our extra effort to leave them behind, and we did it.
Within 1.5 hours we had reached nearly 5 km. but had no idea that next 5 km was going to be very tough, because when we were tracking last 5 km, that time we had option to use shortcut to save time and energy both , means insted using long path we directly used short and direct way to reach up.

Nearly at 5:45 am |
While traveling we tried not to spend much time at relaxing. So where ever we stopped we hardly took 5 minutes on it.
When we tracked nearly 6 km , we all assembled and ate the Litti we had cooked last night. It gave us some energy to move ahead but our foot was paining like hell, means normally it was fine but when we were climbing each stair our legs was like... What the hell you are doing bro!!
But as closer we were going, we were finding this mountain as beautiful and it was working as a medicine of our foot.

Parasnath mountain. |
Since now the time was more then 6am so the sun had started rising, obviously our dream was breaking but that was fine because we were happy with the beauty we were going through.
We were tracking casually and then suddenly we saw a very little waterfall , yes waterfall could you imagine how beautiful we would have felt when we saw that at the mountain. That was damn amazing for us, i stopped there and tasted that water and trust me that was damn good. I didn't drink that much because i had no idea what is mixed in this water, but that was fabulous.
 |

We did some photoshoot there and then again started our tracking. Each step of our tracking was giving amazing satisfaction but with this amazing feeling we were also feeling very tired, could you imagine how tough it might be tracking to a mountain which is just half of Mount Everest!!
After tracking nearly 7km we focused that the sky is divided into two parts, one part was full of cloud and another was clear sky. We had started feeling more Cold than we were feeling below, because Cold wind was blowing here.

During our Tracking we saw that many people were living there at this mountain, they built some small huts where they were selling some foodstuffs, when I asked one of them about the price, the price he replied was double of normal price. But that was ok because it is really hard work to bring those food stuffs here. I just bought some bigbabool for all because I wanted to chewing something and nothing could have been better than this.

We continued our tracking, slowly-slowly the sun rose , and because of morning's sun light Parasnath temple was shining very much. We were hurried to reach that beautiful place soon because that time it was nearly 2 km away from us, but that two km wasn't easy to climb at all.
 |

Since our destination was also closer so we started taking photographs of our tracking, i can't express about the beauty of that mountain, i think nothing can be more beautiful in Jharkhand then Parasnath hill.
 |

Soon nearly after half an hour we reached at the top of the mountain , there was some small temples, beside of the temple and out of the boundary there were few huts, and there's residential people were selling foods!! Could you imagine that people were cooking food and selling it at the top of the mountain.
 |
| Road at Parasnath hill. |
The first temple we saw at the top of the Parasnath mountain was small but gorgeous, that location was full of monkeys, they all were moving around fearlessly. Initially we were in tension because these monkeys might snatch our mobile or DSLR but later we felt that they are very friendly.
 |

We saw many lovely monkeys there and trust me they were very adorable.

We seat there for sometime, saw some small Temples there, ate litti and then again we started our tracking for next and highest peak of Parasnath hill which was nearly 1.3 km from this temple.

We continued our journey and with our each step our destination was coming closer, this time we were not feeling as tired as much we were feeling before.
On the way we stopped at a temple for photoshoot, then a guy came and asked us for video shoot from his phone, i did it for him and he expressed as if he were satisfied.

A jain from Agra came to visit
Parasnath hill's temple. |

After spending some time over here we stepped for the next temple which was the largest one, situated at the toppest peak of the Parasnath mountain .
Since it was looking closer so I thought that it would Be easier to go there but i was totally wrong, we continuesly were climbing up and down but our destination was still away from us, it was totally visible but like the moon.

Approximately After half an hour we climbed the toppest peak of Parasnath hill somehow and of course the beautiful temple was there near our eyes, just we were 20-30 stairs away from that.
When we reached there we felt that cold wind was blowing with more speed than earlier and the environment was much more cold than down of the hill. Yet, we didn't required any extra jacket to wear because our body was already warm and it was shiny day also.
There was a banner below of the temple that remove all your leather goods here. We obeyed that and removed all we thought was necessary.

Luckly there was no any crowd at that time when we go there, everything was just clear and pure just we could hear the sound of the wind and of some staffs. Since i had eaten litti so i asked the guard that can i go inside the temple because i have eaten Litti? He replied that yes of course you can, just go and see it.
Since i had to wash my hand so i asked the guard about water, he show me a bucket of water, i went and washed my hand , pore some drops on my body because i hadn't another option.
Then i went inside the temple prayed and took Aarti and came out of the temple.

After coming out of it my friend show me a way to basement and told me that there is a historic stone which is worshipped. After knowing these all how could i leave it, so i also went inside with them, there was a gate whose height would be nearly 4 feet don't know why did they make it as shorter but there would also be some philosophy i guess which was obviously fine.
When i went inside, i saw a priest standing there and a diya in thali was burning, whole room was lighten with a small diya and from a light which was coming from a place which was made for it.

After visiting these two places at the top of the Parasnath hill we gathered there and took some photographs.

Now slowly slowly people were started gathering there, tiredness was totally visible from there face. Since it's been some time we came there so we were ok with the crowd but we had also to go back. i wanted to spend a night there or atleast i wanted to stay there till evening but non of my friends seems agree for this so i didn't forced them to do it. So we all started going back.

After reaching the first temple where we had visited at first, got to know that there is a jalmandir nealry 5 minutes from here so we all decided to visit there. Since that was situated in down of a valley so we started going there. it's far easy to go downward then going upward and that's why we enjoyed this journey to the Jal mandir.

Jal mandir and Temples at Parasnath hill were totally made of Marbles, now imagine how difficult it would have been to build these beautiful temples at the height of 4.4 km. We should hatsoff to those legends.

We took water of this well and drunk, and trust me it was awesome. I hadn't expected that it would be as tasty as it was.
 |

After visiting this beautiful place we did some rest there, by that time we were totally tired and hadn't courage or strength to go for the next temple. So we decided to go back after here.
 |

Returning from Parasnath mountain.
Now we started going back from here, when we were coming to the Jalmandir it was easy to get down but similarly it was very tough to climb up, and we really were regretting that why did we came here, but over all that temple Worth that effort.
After 12:30pm approximately, Slowly slowly we started getting down from the Parasnath hill, again we captured many scenario of that beautiful mountain of jharkhand.

When we were getting down we saw that the road which had barely any single person now is full of tourists, they all were trying to go up to the temple. They were asking us about the distance, about the time and another things but not with curiosity rather with their tired face and a better expectation. We told all of them the truth.

After many downs and ups finally we reached at the temple, which was just 2km away from the bottom of parasnath hill i think.
We went inside and it was also damn beautiful , it was also made of marbles. There were many small temples along with the main temple.

After moving from here within half an hour we reached at the bottom of the mountain, here it was also a huge temple but we couldn't click it because of some reason. We took our bike from here and paid the keeper and went to our home with a great memory and obviously with so much of blessings.
