Trails of Nature.

This  place is around  panchaganga river. It is a river side area. Panchaganga river is located in city called Kolhapur in Maharashtra. There are innumerable natural beauties on both sides of the rivers. There is a agriculture lands on the both sides of river. Nature can make us feel great and improve our mental health.

First ill tell you how this place is discovered  and became my fav place, so  In lockdown may 2020, when people are not allowed to go out much, that time people who stays near panchaganga river go to this place for a walk. Because there is a lot of greenery here and unlimited free oxygen. Actually it is a farm area. There is a  sugarcane farm in a large scale. and same other types of farming also. It is a beautiful walkway through farm to the riverside. This place is not much explored by people so it is not so crowdy, That makes this place more beautiful.

 Now ill tell you about my experience about this place. My experience is little bit  different from others.  I live near this place so when I was young in school I used to go to there with my friends for fun and to take away some sugarcanes home. And by the time getting older and getting busy with college life we forgot about that place day by day… and they suddenly is lockdown someone told me about that place. Then  I remember all my childhood memories about this place. One day I decide to go there and relive old memories. I went there in may 2020. and it is whole new feeling and experience all together.. with a nostalgia in the background.

The journey starts by beautiful rough walkway through sugarcanes and old big different types of trees.. while passing by I met with some cute and some angry cows and buffalo’s. in every direction there is a endless greenery, when you reach at the location there is a huge and calmly flowing panchaganga river.

           

 I sat there on a grass by riverside.. looking at the flow…looking at the fresh blue color of a sky. by the time, changing colors of sky with the sun going down in mountains..  now it is a twilight time.. freezing fresh air.. lots of different types of birds chirping and going there home.. now a days we don’t see them usually in city life… sound of nature is releasing mental stress.. feeling  great from inside. Not in a mood to go back to home in a every day busy life.. but I have to.. so then I decide to come here again and again on weekends to recharge my soul.. and come back to home with those peaceful feelings.

This place is mindfulness in its simplest form.
