a day in our life in Himachal - hiking by the Tirthan river

[@sunayannath3911]

The best thing about you and Vinod is that both of you and your families enjoy holidays, not in the hustle and bustle of glamorous places, but in the places of seclusion where there is space for mental peace and mental and physical rejuvenation. That’s the whole point of being on holiday.

[@JohannaNorth]

Thank you so much for the kind words, I very much agree with you :)

[@cg5611]

A lot of people can learn from your mother how to view places,cultures and a whole different way of living. She has set an example.

[@lakshminarayananbalakrishn7824]

Compared to all no 1 bloggers you are the best.

[@IamGauravSinghh]

The way your mom astounds at simpler things like " that water, the fresh air" it just melts my heart. Mothers are a great soul. Hatsoff of to every mother including you too Johanna!!

[@IamGauravSinghh]

and also Little Annika is a pure delight to watch, just love watching her grow up!❤❤🙏🙏

[@JohannaNorth]

You are so kind, thank you :) To my mom everything in India is so new and exciting, so she is like a little kid herself just marvelling at everything :)

Haha! Lucky she didn’t throw the ball down the hill again! That was a beautiful place to visit.

[@captaindeepakanand]

Vinod is a terrific down to earth simple yet charming guy. Annika is cutest. Both Finnish ladies r superb.

[@sagartirthagoswami9390]

I feel refreshed just by watching this video...Actually yes, vacationing somewhere should just be it, far from hustle and bustle of cities and having the time and space to connect with your loved ones amidst mother nature... ❤️ you guys..

[@JohannaNorth]

(obviously) I so agree with you! Especially now as a parent, the most important thing about vacation is to get to relax and re-energise! :) We're busy enough even with Annika only on vacation too :'D

Aww! Johanna, your Mom's so adorable..I love to hear & see her expressions from the lap of nature...such a darling !Beautiful post of you 4 soaking in the Himalayan paradise.Thanks for the lovely share.

[@JohannaNorth]

Happy to hear you enjoyed the video! We had a great time in tirthan 🥰

[@mwadh5266]

Mountains speak to my soul too.. beaches, plains, bare hills- nothing beats green mountains with fresh air. We all need healing, our soul needs healing and mountains spell magic on us and can heal us from within. I yearn to go to one...its been ages.. Living in urban jungle of NCR has bruised my soul and health. For now, your videos of your hills and greens is soothing my soul a bit..not to omit, your narration adds to the healing. Great going Johanna. Your home in Kerela is beautiful too..

[@JohannaNorth]

Thank you so much, I'm glad to make you feel better with my videos! Hope you get out into the nature soon too, I'm so thankful we get to also live in the middle of it :)

There's nothing better than a cool and refreshing trip to the mountains, especially during the heat of the summer It's really so beautiful where you are. I think your mother is having a wonderful holiday with you all. A trip of a life time! 🌷

[@JohannaNorth]

My mom absolutely loved the Himalayas :)

[@madhavkopalle]

What a beautiful place. Along with birds chirping and Annikas babbling blends with the nature, tirthan Valley is blessed with her visit and her walks.

[@blairswanson44]

Your videography is wonderful Johanna. It just draws me right into the scene. So good to see your Mom being overwhelmed by all the beauty of the surroundings. Something not to be forgotten, I'm sure. Annika seems to be a bit overtaken at times by the energy of the mountains, forest & moving water as well. Perhaps that's a priceless building block, as you alluded to. You are all so fortunate to have these experiences. Keep her safe J. Love to you all. ❤

[@JohannaNorth]

Thank you so much Blair! And yes, my mom is still digesting all that she experienced, and of course watching all these videos and the photos she took :)

Hi Johanna, Himachal is really an incredible place that I was not aware of, the mountain, the river and the nature is absolutely amazing. I'm sure your mother found her visit to India a great experience to take home with her. Thank you so much for sharing this unique paradise-like environment 🙏🙏🙏💓💓💓

[@SNair-tc3yw]

Joanna your mom has that child like charm..for her every thing is so splendid so charming..I can feel what she says..like from the heart..you also looks fresh like daisy..I think the mountain air is refreshing 😊

[@JohannaNorth]

My mom has always been curious to go and explore the world, so she's super excited to finally have got the chance and of course do it with Annika! Who better to teach us about excitement and appreciation of learning new things than little kids!

[@Alastavme]

What a wonderful holiday. I’m so so glad that Mumi is loving India. And Himalayas are my favourite too! Enjoy your holiday. Am looking forward to what you are going to show her next :-)

[@Alastavme]

The doggy resting his head on the chair’s handle and Annika busy on the side. Brought a smile to my face. So so cute!

You know what - my hello has become ‘hello hello’! Even when I’m in office!! Guess who is to blame :-)

Hallo Johanna, I like very much to follow you and your famliy step by step. I think that is not easy to be an international family. So I hope you and Vinod and Annika have so a great chance to live without borders of culture and contries. What counts is only love, respect and understandig!!! All the best for you from Ruth from Germany

Always very fond of videos and Johaana way of narration, little Arnica is just a replica of her granny (Johaana' s mom), through your videos, i feel as if, i too explored the nature and the places. God bless this happy family.

[@JohannaNorth]

Oh yes, she's still trying to digest everything that she experiences! She was so overwhelmed by all of it :)

[@vibha3776]

Such a beautiful place n lovely vlog.

[@mujdeoncu10]

You do everything with such pleasure that I want to do the same things right away. Hiking before breakfast, then breakfast. I wish I was there too. How Annika defended herself. She seems to be a true warrior, as her mother said, rather than her father's princess as her father calls her. She will most possibly become the mixture of it. She is to-be a warrior princess.

[@JohannaNorth]

We actually call her a Haryanvi viking, never a princess which doesnt fit her personality at all 🥰 more like a warrior queen!

[@manesakumaresh3102]

How beautiful nature can be....this part of the world,I too would love to venture.but watching your video somehow brought me close to it.hv fun,especially having Yr mom around.

[@JohannaNorth]

I hope you get there one day, and if not then can enjoy all the videos from the mountains and other bucket list destinations! That's what I love about making travel videos, taking viewers with me to places they might not otherwise get to visit :)

Annika is bright eyed n bushy tail starting her mornings, Mommi loves the crisp mountain air..the great outdoors as u say Johanna 😍.

Loved the video. Thank you for sharing your journeys. Annika is getting to experience so much of the nature and this will definitely have a positive impact on her. Kudos to u and Vinod!!

Sometimes it's utterly impossible to get her into the house, away from the outdoors :'D But that's indeed a good thing! Rather that than trying to drag her out of the house sometimes :)

Couldn't have said it better...Mountains speak to my soul too😊🏔💚 it's wonderful to see how you're exposing Annika to nature, she will automatically grow up to love, appreciate and value it and that connection is priceless. The hydrangea bush behind you where you were having lunch was just magnificent, haven't seen one of those in a long time. Eagerly waiting for the next vlog 💕

[@JohannaNorth]

My mom was so in love with the garden, especially the hydrangeas which she was astonished to see in India too! There are surprisingly many similarities between himachali and Finnish nature 🥰

BTW, the table infront of those beautiful flowers, where you & mommy having breakfast, that was just extraordinary shot ! Reminded me the french, polish, etc movies of my college days when I used to go to the oldest film club of India to watch them. Loved it*

[@vedantt9928]

@@JohannaNorth I think Vinod is in Govt sector (probably you said so earlier), at the same time it was his idea (you said) to take Annika's shots from her level (getting down with some back probs), that's why I thought he might have done his part to assist you while editing, I didn't have any doubt (but made it clear) that those macro shots & wide shots clubbing were your hardwork .. Even I thought you might have done some professional course bcs of the beautiful presentation.... *Anyways, you made everything around you beautiful.. the positivity is reaching your subscribers too...

@ 12:46 Annika- See Daddy ... Isaac Newton was wrong !. Aiti ran twice as fast as gravity to collect the ball !... See !.. She's huffing and puffing !

[@JohannaNorth]

I'll need to have Vinod explain me the physics related to your statement :'D

[@anand-menon]

@@JohannaNorth just a silly joke from me..... By the way about the physics...all masses ( for example -a ball )released from a certain height fall ( accelerate ) at the same rate ..it is denoted as 'g'( also known as acceleration due to gravity) which is equal to 9.81 meters per second squared. ( which is pretty quick actually)... so when I noticed that you were huffing and puffing after going a long way downhill to collect the ball, I joked that you went twice as fast as gravity ( which in reality is impossible) in order to go collect the ball for your daughter ! It was a way of saying you'll do anything readily for your daughter! ymmärsi?

Ohhhhh Johanna what a SUPER vlog. Tirthan Valley is mind blowing in terms of its beauty. I would love to visit. I can take a bus from Aut to Tirthan, and have tried so many times to find the distance to local hostels/homestays from the Tirthan bus stand but Google is just not giving me any info. Hmmmm. Would you happen to know this info dear as its necessary prior to my travel. Also the blue hostel looks AWESOME but i think i would be far better off in a family homestay as i cant stand those parties that begin in the afternoon esp with trance and weed. It's a pet hate of mine. If I'm able to avoid such stays and get some orientation on how to reach the nearest accommodations form the bus stand i might just make it to Tirthan valley!!! Namaste and Blessings Kas ❤️🕉️❤️🕉️❤️🕉️❤️🕉️❤️🕉️❤️

[@JohannaNorth]

The Banjar bus station is just a few minutes walk away from the blue sheep hostel. Jibhi, about an hour away, is a more popular hostel/guesthouse destination. But The Blue Sheep isn't a WILD party place either, but with a baby's sleep schedule it is not entire quiet either. :)
