Thursday Challenge – Spring
It’s Spring in Jammu and Kashmir now. The spring season starts in March and lasts till early May.
Last weekend, I had the pleasure to be at Patnitop which is a hill station near Jammu.
This view from a small hill gives you the blissful feeling of peace and tranquility. Surrounded by lush green forest and tall pine trees are the JKTDC Huts. Well furnished rooms with working kitchen ย beckon you if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing holiday. One can indulge in reading a good book under a tree or long walks, trekking or pony rides at any time as the weather is very pleasant, with a slight nip in the air.
Ah, miss this serene place now that I am back in the hot and sultry weather of Jaipur!

Awww! It’s such a beautiful place. ๐ And yea, we always continue missing good things even though we know that we cannot have them. However we can cherish those beautiful moments spent in the past.
