Bhilangna, Tehri- May ‘26

The trip was the most beautiful mountains, the warmest welcomes, skies that looked like God’s painted canvases and company that felt like laughter after forever.

Not in the photos:
1. A tour of BHPL- the construction and flow between mountains, supplying electricity to the national grid
2. Mom dad and group got to plant trees as a memory of our wonderful time there, thanks to the BHPL team!
3. Gangi- the first village; so high in the mountains that there’s no reception, no pollution. Only the greenest mountains, cutest kids, water operated automatic chakki, and a picnic spot with amazing apples and natural water!
4. Lots of long mafia nights and debate over UNO rules, Fanta and Coke imposters and Psych!
5. Dance around the bonfire 🔥 because why not
6. So much rain in the mountains that it transported me to a different realm.
7. Super comfy car rides with the open sunroof
8. Flowers. So many wonderful huge flowers.
9. Deeper friendships. Homely food.

Also in the photos:
1. Pahadi food
2. 500 year old temples and our luck
3. Pink sunset over mountains
4. Tehri dam and reservoir

Felt like God’s calling. And God’s embrace. God’s blessings. And God’s grace.
