Hi friends😉
It’s summer... the perfect season to escape the heat and head straight into nature! 😎🌿
Nothing beats a one-day nature getaway—especially when you’re leaving behind the city’s noise and heat to breathe in some peace and fresh air.
This time, I’m back with a new plan: I’m about to share another easy, scenic, and good-vibes-only day trip with you all!
Just about 60 kilometers outside our town, you’ll find yourself in a whole different world called Darongar — a cool, green paradise that feels like pure bliss on hot summer days! 🌿💦
Darongar is full of natural beauty, but what always draws me in the most is hiking through its amazing river and canyon. Just imagine: it’s the middle of summer, your feet are in refreshing cold water, the sound of the river flowing in your ears, and tall canyon walls surrounding you... it’s heaven for nature and adventure lovers! 😍
Every year, lots of people from nearby towns come here—whether it’s for a chill day in nature or a proper river hike.
This time, I’m sharing my own one-day trip full of splashes, peace, and good vibes.
Let’s dive into nature! 😍
When we got out of the car and stepped into the canyon, I had no idea what a unique experience was waiting for me. Right from the start, the trail led us straight into the river, and we walked for several kilometers through the water. It was both peaceful and full of excitement.
With every step forward, the nature around us became more untouched, more wild—like we had entered another world. Nardeban-e-Daroon-Gar Canyon, with its watery path and unique atmosphere, became one of the most unforgettable adventures of my life.
As I looked at the surrounding mountains, their grandeur and magnificence took my breath away. The towering cliffs and silent rocks stirred something deep inside me—a mix of awe, respect, and a strange pull. I instinctively took a deep breath, as if trying to absorb all that beauty and calm with every part of my being. I wished I could be up there, standing on one of those peaks—somewhere I could see the world from a completely different perspective.
When the river path became tougher and deeper, we had to continue our journey through the mountains. We got out of the water and started climbing and making our way across rocky and steep trails.
Since I’m a bit sensitive to heat and usually get tired quickly at higher altitudes, the rest of the journey became a bit more challenging for me. The direct sun, the warm weather, and the uphill trails gradually drained my energy. Honestly, I no longer had the same enthusiasm and motivation I felt at the beginning of the hike, and because of that, I couldn’t take many photos. Some of the most beautiful and unique parts of the trail passed by unphotographed—captured only in my memory.
Still, I hope the few photos I did manage to take can give you a small glimpse into the beauty and atmosphere of Nardeban-e-Daroon-Gar Canyon—a place where nature is still untouched, where silence has a voice, and where you can disconnect from the noise of everyday life, even if just for a little while.
I’m really glad I got to share this experience with you. I hope that as you look through these photos and read these few lines, you feel even a bit of the peace and wonder I felt out there.
Wishing you bright days ahead, filled with calm, joy, and beautiful adventures.
Take care of yourselves—and the nature around you.
Much love,
and until the next nature journey…
Goodbye for now 🌱📸
