Jibhi - A piece of heaven on earth

The trick to getting through life is always having a holiday booked to look forward to!

For nature lovers, Jibhi is a true paradise filled with lush green forests, cool mountain streams, and quiet meadows where butterflies flit above the wildflowers.

In nature everything has a job. The job of the fog is to beautify further the existing beauties. I can’t tell you how stunning every bit of nature looked all around us, the lush greens bathed in the early showers of monsoon. I am a sucker for such underrated beauties.

A turquoise-blue stream wound its merry way through the forest. Babbling and burbling, it sprung over the limestone rocks in its way. Streams are the liquid soul of the forest, and this one was glowing.  

We were in awe of the size and majesty of the trees. Their knotted arms rose ever upwards, as far as my head could lift. They were hoary fortresses and stood proudly.

The nectar sweet smell of the spring flowers perked up our spirits

The simpering wind carried a fragrance with it. It was spirit refreshing to smell the mulchy mix of the forest’s perfume. We ate a few windfall apples and they were mead sweet.

The lake was in teardrop-silver in colour and No sound rang out from the shimmering emptiness of space around it. The idyllic scene took our breath away. Unruffled by wind or rain, it was vault still and restful. The only sounds were the bumbling of bees and the heavy echo of a raven crawking. I can still see the rain-pearled grass in my mind’s eye. I remember the saccharine sweet smell of that grass.

The rustic scene was spirit-renewing. Clouds shaped like tufty pillows glided slowly across the sky. They carried an airy, warm, drizzling rain with them.
