Heaven
Upon hearing these words, what does Akir imagine we do?
Perhaps a place where all the noise of the world simply fades away
Where the sky leans a little closer to Zawin
Or the place where, once arrived, there is no need to return.
We have just arrived at Charnapaduga after covering a three-kilometer trek.
I mean, this very path doesn't seem any less than heaven itself.
And it's feeling exactly like a road to heaven.
There is a place in our country just like this one.
Where it is said that the Pandavas began their final journey towards heaven
And the intriguing part is that the road leading to that place still exists today.
A road leading to a remote village in India
To reach this beautiful corner of India, you travel approximately 300 kilometers from Dehradun, the capital of Uttarakhand, to Badrinath Valley.
This is one of the four Dhams in India and Uttarakhand: Badrinath Temple.
This temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu.
It is said that Lord Vishnu came to this valley to perform penance.
When Lord Vishnu was deeply absorbed in meditation
Then, Mahalakshmi took the form of a tree to protect them from the harsh weather of this valley.
It was a badri tree, and for this reason, this place came to be known as Badrinath.
Every year, millions of people come here to pay their respects.
At the same time, this place is one of the most beautiful valleys in the Uttarakhand region.
Before exploring this valley, let us also go to visit the temple.
But Suva Suva, this valley is hidden beneath the roots of the Koré tree.
Now it reveals itself in its true form
Male and Female Peaks of the Towering Montan Range
Alaknanda River is a sacred and noisy river.
The sound of bells coming from the Badrinath Temple, situated directly opposite the river
And perhaps Badrinath's charm lies precisely in this.
These mountains here are not just background.
They are between part experiences.
And amidst this very experience, near the temple, there is a hot spring.
A heated pond whose water naturally remains lukewarm
Badrinath is located at an altitude of 3,134 meters (10,282 feet).
The weather here remains cold throughout the year.
The water in this pond is rich in minerals and sulfur.
And it is believed that bathing in this hot water
And devotees bathe in the hot spring at Tapt Kund before visiting the shrine of Badrinath.
After paying our respects, we go to the back of the temple, to the entrance of the montins.
Another turn of these mountains was waiting for us
So now we have arrived right here at Badrinath.
We were heading toward Charan Paduga's side, and you can see that.
How huge a waterfall is before us
From the very moment I arrived in this valley, this waterfall has been in my sight.
And today we've come here, and it looks even more beautiful than ever before.
And since it's still the monsoon season, there are clouds everywhere—just like the peaks of the mountains.
And in all the high-altitude areas, there are very large, big clouds.
It's becoming extremely beautiful right now, the valley is so breathtaking.
Wait a little while here; we'll go up to Charan Paduka shortly.
This waterfall coming from the Neelkanth Glacier was just the beginning of this valley.
You can hike up to a peak about 3 kilometers away from the temple, which is Charnapada.
They say this is the very place where Lord Vishnu first set His foot.
And this path leading there is the most beautiful route in this valley.
As you leave Badrinath Valley behind, you catch sight of some breathtaking, endless rows of larch trees, waterfalls, and these vast, expansive meadows.
Standing right in the middle of this valley, I felt your footsteps as if they were Vishnu's own, and if you look at it straight on, the footprints will immediately appear just like Vishnu's.
Now, as we explore Valley and one more, we head to India's first village.
This small village lies just four kilometers from Badrinath, nestled at the confluence of the Alaknanda and Saraswati rivers. It is believed to be the first village along the Indo-Tibet border, and notably, due to extreme winter conditions, this place remains accessible only for six months each year.
And during those 6 months, these awakenings appear in such a way
These thin alleys of the village, the colorful paintings on the balls
And some people sitting here
These people belong to the Bhutia community.
But Maanah is not limited to just here.
This age is connected to even older history.
They say this is the very same land.
Where Sage Vedavyasa recited the Mahabharata to Lord Ganesha
And Lord Ganesha wrote this very Jagat Bhaitkar Mahabharata.
Your full name is Shiri Krishna Dwipayan Veda Vya
This invocation of Lord Ganesha was necessary in order to write the Mahabharata.
Vedavya Ji was supposed to come to Kalayug.
It was the final era of Dwapar Yuga—who would write so quickly?
Then Brahmājī said, "You, Lord Ganesha, please remove the obstacle."
Then, Vedavya Ji invoked Lord Ganesha.
How many times have you remembered, O Rambhasa, the virtuous Satyavati, the daughter of Sudhava?
Ganesha said, "Ah, Bhrutusmi, I am doing the sukhaar."
But under one condition, what was the condition set by Lord Ganesha?
When writing, my handwriting should not be sloppy, Vedvyā Jī
I will write on this condition.
So, Vidhyaji said, "My search will also continue, won't it?"
In that verse, I am about to speak, so please write it down.
I will recite the verses; you too, think and write them down carefully.
Thus, from here, Vidvyaji Mahabharata spoke, and below, Ganesh Kufa, Ganesh Ji wrote.
Maraaj is not distant for them; after all, he is an incarnation of Vishnu.
Om namo bhagavate vasishthaya namo namah Om namo brahman dahi vasishthaya namo namah
In every corner of this village, you can see things connected to Great India.
Whether it's the roar of the Sarsuti River or the large bridge built right above it
There is no large engineering marvel here to cross this river; instead, there is just a large stone.
They say that even during the Pandavas' journey to heaven, Bhima had placed this large stone on top of the river.
This place is today known as Bhim Purva.
If you can see that road behind me, it leads to Manapar.
If you continue along the same road, you'll reach China ahead.
The more unique this place is, the richer its history is as well.
This is the cave of Ved Vyas Ji.
They say Lord Ganesha wrote the Mahabharata right here, and his temple is also located right here.
The heroes, the protagonists of the Mahabharata, ascended to heaven through this very path.
Heaven is Rohini, and there are also many evidences here.
If you can see that over there on my right side
It is a very large stone, and people still use it today, just like the Bridge.
They say Bhim had placed the stone here.
when they were going toward heaven
We rebels cannot even reach as far as Swarv.
But from here, a short trail leads off
which takes you to Vasudhara Waterfall
which is a very large and very beautiful waterfall
Then we'll go there right now, we'll go
This trek to Vasudhara Waterfall is just 6 kilometers long.
But these 6 kilometers will be the most beautiful 6 kilometers of your life.
And I can also guarantee this.
Because within these 6 kilometers, you'll find what you're looking for
So we have just started our trek.
It has become such a lovely season.
The entire valley, which is there, is now covered with clouds.
The big peaks, however many there are here
It is covered entirely by clouds.
Dwaij Valley Pie, which is now this path, doesn't seem any less than Havin.
And it's feeling like the Road to Heaven, so let's go forward now
As we move forward along this path
Then it becomes clear why people call this place the Road to Heaven.
Mountains shrouded in clouds on all sides, a barren expanse stretching far and wide.
And in the middle, a path that slowly is taking us away from this world.
We will reach the waterfall in just a few minutes.
But before that, hey, you check this weather.
Wow, what a look, brother.
And the weather keeps changing again and again,
We are being shown these valleys in many different colors.
We're sorry we're late because the weather hasn't cleared up for two days.
But today a nice sunshine has arrived, and you'll meet them straight at the waterfall.
About one to one and a half hours later, Vasudhara Waterfall becomes visible emerging from among the clouds.
Apero falls from a height of twenty-two meters, making this waterfall the most unique point in the valley.
During their heavenly journey, the Pandavas had rested near this waterfall.
But Vasudhara's curse is connected to another story here.
They say this water falls only upon those with pure hearts.
So, to examine this theory, we also move closer to this waterfall.
So finally, we have reached Vasudhara Waterfall.
And this waterfall is so incredibly massive, isn't it?
There are many other stories associated with this waterfall as well.
They say the water of this waterfall increases among people with kind hearts.
But the thing is, that's not true because water is also rising on my friends.
Look here, Porc, once this water is here.
