Day three was the day for a sunrise view from Pisgah Mountain and waterfall hopping in Northern Georgia. The sun was rising on Pisgah Mountain at 6:16 am. We had to climb 5721 feet to get to the top. We left in the dark to make it to the mountaintop. As we reached the top, the sun was a little fireball trying to peek through the mountain. The view was magnificent. As the sun matured, the color changed from pink to orange, giving the hills different hewes. The sun had fulfilled its obligation of providing light and life to nature for one more day. This quality of the sun is very humbling. We have a lot to learn from the sun.
We left Pisgah with a heavy heart and a promise to return soon. On our way to Atlanta, the first stop was Tallulah Gorge State Park. The popular spot in the park is Hurricane Falls. The falls cascade through the river. The day was scorching hot; the splash of cold water would have been great. But visitors are not allowed on the water.
The next stop was Toccoa Falls on Toccoa Creek. The waterfall has a vertical drop of 186 feet on the campus of Toccoa Falls College in Stephens County, Georgia. The fall is taller than Niagra Falls. The sound of the waterfall was very soothing, and the water mist was very relaxing. Visitors were not allowed in the water here either.

On the second day, we hiked the MST (Mountain to Sea trail) for seven miles until it met State Route 276 and Blue Ridge Parkway. We took a Blue Ridge Parkway to loop back to the Pisgah Inn. It was a total of 11 miles hike in 7 hours, including the rest on scenic overlooks. The portion of the MST trail we took was supposed to be very picturesque. But we didn't see any viewpoints. It turned out to be a moderate difficulty average hiking trail. The trail was lined up with Rhododendrons. I am sure it's a lovely hike in the early spring during Rhododendrons blooming season. Also, Blue Ridge is known for its uniqueness, and Gandor displays colors in the fall. Therefore, early fall and spring would be the best time to visit. The trail became beautiful once we got on Blue Ridge Parkway with its picturesque overviews.
We had promised ourselves the sunset view from Fire Lookout Towers. So, after dinner, we took a mile hike to the Fire Lookout tower. The tower stands on a 5340-foot summit, which is 70 Feet tall. After climbing 70 feet steps, we landed atop the paradise. The location had a 360-degree view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The sunset view from there was indescribably beautiful. It was so lovely that we could spend the night there. The idea came to mind as there was a barricaded area fire watchers used to shelter from wind and rain in the old days. These are the glimpses of our adventure. Enjoy

We reached Pisgah Inn, located on Blue Ridge Parkway, NC. It took us six hours to get here from Huntsville, Alabama. There was no rush, so we took our time. We stopped to charge our car and ate dinner on the way. We had to make a reservation to dine at Pisgah Inn. We were not sure what time we would make it. Therefore, dinner at. “Papas and Beer” at Waynesville was a perfect choice. I liked their fresh guac. The server mixed all the ingredients and made it fresh before us at the table. Their chip dip was a warm, spicy, and flavorful white bean. I loved it and asked for a second helping. The serving was immense; we shared a fish fajita and still couldn't finish it.
The Blue Ridge Parkway was right around the corner from the restaurant. Blue Ridge Parkway is the scenic route that runs along the Appalachian Trail. We are staying in Pisgah Inn for two nights. It is the most picturesque place in the whole parkway. As we entered the Blue Ridge mountain, the view of cascading blue mountains started to welcome us with viewpoints at every milepost. It was a beautiful ride to the hotel. The sun was about to set for the night. We didn't want to miss the view. So, as soon as we checked in, we left again to go to the sunset view. After driving almost a mile toward the south on the parkway, we came to a viewpoint and decided to park and enjoy the setting sun there. It was a gorgeous evening.
The almost full moon appeared on the horizon as the sunlight faded, outlining the blue cascading mountains. The view was amazing from our back porch. The night is tranquil. The air is cool and crispy. It's beautiful. I can spend the whole night on the porch, enjoying the view and quietness. We have plans to hike the Mountain to Sea trail tomorrow. The trail itself is 1175 miles long. We plan to hike only 7 miles, the most picturesque portion of the trail. Our dinner is booked at the Inn restaurant at seven pm. We will have just enough time for a little rest and shower before dinner. Then, we plan to hike to the Fire LookOut tower for the sunset view. We will probably have to hike an hour to get to the top. According to Google, the Fire Lookout tower is a tower that provides housing and protection for a person known as “Fire Lookout,” whose duty is to search for wildfires in the wilderness. But at present, sitting on the back porch of my room, there is nothing more I can ask for except to enjoy this beauty and be thankful for everything.

Sitting in a corner seat and watching people is fun. We are at Atlanta airport waiting to board our flight to Nepal. It's a busy airport. The noise of constant foot traffic with the dull background music makes me tired. But those occasional loud overhead announcements jolted me back to the present. Looking around, almost everyone is occupied with some external activities. Phones, food, and headphones are lovely distractions. It makes time pass easier. Once I get tired of looking around- I like to sit still doing nothing. Have you ever tried it? It is the best way to pass the time. It is very rejuvenating for me.

Our flight is supposed to depart at nine fifty pm.to Turkey, and then we take a connecting flight to Nepal. We have a four-hour layover at Istanbul Airport. Then, a seven-hour flight to Nepal.
Nepal is a Himalayan destination located between India and China. The total population is 29,164,578 as of 2021 census.
It is a trendy destination for trekking and mountaineering. Nepal is the country of Mount Everest. The highest mountain in the world. It is also the Birthplace of Gautama Buddha.
Join us on the trip. We plan to take you along with us to our destination, Nepal. Catch you on the other side of the world.

Santorini, known since ancient times as Thira, is one of the most famous islands in the world. The fact that you can sit in front of the caldera, and enjoy local dishes, a drink, or a coffee while gazing at the remarkable beauty of an active volcano is priceless!

An island is actually a group of islands consisting of Thira, Thirassia, Aspronissi, Palea, and Nea Kameni in the southernmost part of the Cyclades.

Santorini’s volcano is one of the few active volcanoes on Greek and European land The islands that form Santorini came into existence as a result of intensive volcanic activity; twelve huge eruptions occurred, one every 20,000 years approximately, and each violent eruption caused the collapse of the volcano’s central part creating a large crater (caldera). The volcano, however, managed to recreate itself over and over again. Please like and Share our page.
