“Keep close to Nature’s heart…And break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean” – John Muir
We started very early in the morning at about 5. Our first stop was the sacred forest of Mawphlang. The whole path in the forest was covered with clouds with constant drizzles brushing the face and a small stream running parallel to it. Lush green fields were all around us, and it had already started to feel like paradise. After coming out of the forest, we were served breakfast, and then we moved to our next destination of Mawphlang dam. At the dam, we could feel the might of water energy and how it is being utilised for the betterment of humanity.
Then we moved to the best part of the trek, the trail in Lingyong. In Lingyong, we first had our lunch, sitting on the banks of a stream. After that, we started our trek. We passed through different terrains, crossing muddy patches, walking through waterfalls and making our way through streams. We were in the lap of nature with raw natural beauty starring at us from all sides. It was a soul cleansing experience. One personal take away that I had from this field-trip was that in future when I will be working in a corporate in a managerial position, whatever decisions I take, I must ensure that it in no way should it harm the sanctity and beauty of such natural resources.
