An Enriching Journey From Landour To Jabarkhet to Kolti Village | The Offbeat Mussoorie

Taking you to the offbeat side of Landour & Mussoorie.
After a laidback 5 days in Landour, it was time to rough it out a bit. And while on one side, Landour is a laidback hill station dotted with old colonial bungalows, not far from it is a private wildlife reserve. The brainchild of conservationist Sejal Worah and land-owner Vipul Jain, Jabarkhet Nature Reserve (JNR), is a privately owned forest, that aims to demonstrate a model that combines conservation, education and ecotourism, while generating economic benefits for the local communities.
Giving me company today is Virendra, a local lad who now works as a naturalist with the reserve. Viru is just exceptional with his knowledge of the reserve and its rich flora and fauna. Aur ek reliable naturalist aur guide hone ke saath saath he's also full of stories about the life in this region. And just like that we decided to hike to Viru's native village called Kolti. A small idyllic village perched in the middle of these vast mountains. Inaccessible by road, it is a traditional Pahaadi gaon at a trekking distance of about 6 kilometers (2 hours) from Landour.
Yet again this experience made me realize that travel for me will never be about the number of destinations I go to. It'll always be about collecting stories, accumulating experiences and gaining a broader perspective.
And that's why I don't travel, I UNTRAVEL.

thanks a lot Samabrata

[@thecoffeetable8420]

I like your phrase " I don't travel, I, untravel" Being a loner in myself, I always feel that the mountains and nature wants me there and I think I can live with the nature, however when I was in Pokhriyabong village in Darjeeling last year, I was feeling more locked up in my room as I could not go out because of heavy rain pouring outside my stay and extreme cold weather at my open windowsill. I have a little low vision problem so I was scared of slipping off from those steep slope and I felt so lonely as if I was quarantining for long in my lonely wooden room, now when I was watching your video, I saw sweet little children smiling and playing carelessly and I started fantasizing me as a small child born in the place surrounded by nature. Viru speaks so good, I enjoyed his Hindi language. Abhishek I envy you at the same time I feel so proud of you, you are the best content creator. Regards #Ashishchandrana

Hi Abhishek , CA Kamal Jain, Age 57 from Delhi. I am feeling jealous of you, I was always fascinated by hills, jungles and was willing to do lot of adventures journey of untravelled remote area, to know life of these places, their culture but life problems never allowed me to do so, Moreover I can't travel alone and could not find any person of my taste. So, dream never come true. Now age and Legs strength don't allow much. Have been to Mussoorie , Landour more than 50 times.But remain confine to Mall or chaar Dukan. KEEP GOING, THIS IS A UNIQUE HOBBY AND TASTE.

[@THEUNTRAVELSHOW]

Thanks for sharing Kamal. All I've learnt is that dreams do come true, they just test our perseverance and passion

[@str82puneet]

Jungles are vast & mountain jungles are even more unique as they give a different meaning to the beauty in vastness, one gets to view this vastness from various compact angles only on the mountains & hence it may unconsciously give the feeling of ownership of the external vastness very much same as we all are the owners of our inner yet mostly unexplored vastness. The love for the mountain jungles comes from the blissful projection of the inner jungle which becomes evident even though yet so unconsciously. Thanks🙏

[@sujataaich1981]

Your vlogs are amazing and so enriching. Right now I'm reading a book" into the forest" by Dr Qing Li. Its all about forest bathing or Shinrin- Yoku as you say in Japanese. This particular trek of yours from landour to the village through the forest is perhaps the best example of forest bathing. I think I can smell the damp mossy scent of the forest through your narration and photography. Kudos to you and your team and to the young guide.
