After back to back expeditions and travelling,with a quintessential note,we decided to explore a new place for the last time here in Mexico and that too with a gang of 13 people..A sudden plan with a bunch of enthusiastic people all around who however supported to make this trip memorable.Life gives you some surprises and you never know until and unless you wonder about the path that is forbidden ..Let me introduce you all with those guys who accompanied us in this trip.

THE GANG ALTOGETHER...
Before intriguing into the gateway of this journey ,lets have a look about the place,,
BEAUTY AT ITS BEST..
La Huasteca is the place defined by the area dominated by the Huastecs ,Geographically it has been defined as from the Siera Madre Oriental to the Gulf of mexico with the Sierra de Tamaulipas as the north border and the Cazones river as the south.Surrounded by beautiful waterfalls and the forest within to expand your adventure,one must visit this place.
WATERFALLS AT LA HUASTECA
Well to start from the beginning,I must confront you the exact date and the place from where this trip has started.On 17th march 2017,we altogether 13 people started our journey ,with a new guide Jesus.Heading towards the destination ,and of course at night when you seem to have adventure and fun amalgamated with,life gives you an eternal bliss..The gangs that we developed were no lesser compared than any other gang one could have ever find out.Despite of so much uncomfortable seats and travelling for a long journey,everybody seemed to be very enthusiastic and energetic.Kudos to all of you..Rock on...
IT'S THE TIME FOR THE TRIP....YAAHOOOO
Nights were whispering and we were gossiping,endless talks and of course with numerous ghost stories were the subjects of interest..By the time flew on,we reached at 10 am on 18th March ..The next day seemed to be quite tiring but who cares.From there only we somehow managed to get freshen up and got started for the exciting events.Believe me,I was really not sure about the next venture.But what I have experienced would be my lifetime experience forever,.
PUNTO DE DIOS...POINT OF GOD..
DAY 1-18TH MARCH
Well ,being a non swimmer,and that too always excited to be in the part of water activities,I was very much afraid about this event that you all are watching over this pic.But when life gives you something in front of you and you should explore it for at least once,My hubby first took the chance and then he felt being a non swimmer that its not easy.By that time me and Arpita were busy finding some different places and finally we all got it..The place was like heaven on earth..One would feel like dancing over it and enjoying every bit of it. But adventure was still waiting for us,,.We could find a rope and with that help we were in a safer zone for very sure.But with the sheer motivation of my friends me and Arpita ,took that very challenge to swim inside the cave...Believe me guys,For the very first time I was quite deep into the water,thank god for the life jacket but I must thank Saran,Pattavi,Sam and Ram ,,these guys helped me like anything..,For me it was Saran and Pattavi,who didn't leave a single moment to leave me,The sheer motivation that you guys hooked me with is unforgettable...I was feeling excited at the same time I was scared too.But the experience that I got had left something very deep inside me..
WONDERFUL PEOPLE WONDERFUL STUNT.,
WHILE SWIMMING....GROUPFIE...
This wonderful saga continued for long time and then we all hooked up like anything for photoshoot,,The caves and the waterfalls are the two very best thing that compliment each other..If I would start describing or portraying the scenic beauty ,then words would have been very less for all this.,.The greeneries ,the stones,the rocks,the sounds,birds chirping and of course the fun altogether with the atmosphere within.can make you feel like you are in the heaven..
AFTER WATER ACTIVITY..IT'S TIME FOR SOME PHOTOSHOOT
The aftereffect was tremendous..You get to feel hungry like anything and when it happens you become mad,,So again the very cheerful thing happened as we all were very much hungry,and there was shortage of time and it was quite late...But when enthusiasts are there who cares..It was more of like a picnic that we did,,Different foods altogether shared with all of us...a feeling of love and affection was rising in,
ENJOYING FOOD....PICNIC AT ITS BEST
AFTER A WONDERFUL FOOD PICNIC...PHOTOSHOOT FOR A WHILE..
The sun was setting down and another place was knocking in to explore and guess what..It was again a waterfall,..By watching the scenic beauty one could have ever imagined the movie Bahubali and same applied for us also,we watched it.The force of the waterfall was strong and we enjoyed over there like anything..
SAM DIRECTING US .....
BAHUBALIIIIIII!!!!!!
DINNER AT HOTEL WITH PIZZA PARTY..
...
The sun was rising in and everybody were attempting and planning for a new beginning ,a new thing to explore.Whe you get to have some like minded people,for whom travelling is the ultimate destination,enjoyment is ought to hit you,,As the time passed on,we all went ready to go from our hotel at around 7.30am and this time we were heading towards a new ride.guess what?River Rafting,,Now the name seemed to be quite different but this was my another dream that came true at last,I don't know may be I am quite adventurous and funloving and for these two traits,exploration is the best word in my dictionary.. ..One boat and all 13 people altogether,Trying for the first time,with sheer determination and energu,we somehow started the boat.While roaming it was really fun for all of us to play with some sprinkles of water passing here and there to the other boat passengers,,The slogans that we hooked up to was BHARAT MATA KI...lol..People would have surely imagined how ruthless about all these crazy stuffs,Moreover our entertainer Ram began with his melodramatic slogan..Baby baby,,,referring to our little Ishan.Drained with loads of water on our bodies and almost rowing with a bit of pain in your hand,fun was the ultimate word to fir in that situation
JESUS WITH ALL OF US ...
RIVER RAFTING ...WONDERFUL HAPPENING
The scenic beauty while passing on was marvellous..One could have dreamt of heaven forever showering its blessings..
BEAUTY AT ITS BEST
ONE OF THE EXOTIC LOCATION WHILE RIVER RAFTING
The to and fro river rafting was one of my memorable events that I have come acrossed.While passing through this exotic ride we again came to another cave and this time it was quite deep and dark..There was no rope in side the cave and again couldn't make myself aloof from the adventure.
HAVING FUN
Completing River rafting was not at all the last thing for us on that day..There was another place waiting for us..BIRDS CAVE.,.
BIRD'S CAVE
THE SCENIC BEAUTY OUTSIDE THE CAVE
Well nobody knew that what the other thing was leaving behind us..We were waiting for a short trek..The cave was much much deeper down and we had to step down a lot to reach there..In the meanwhile,there were forests and the chirping birds who were accompanying us..
ME AND ARPITA WHILE THE TREK
RAM THE ENTERTAINING PHOTOGRAPHER BUSY WITH THE PHOTOSHOOT
The bird's cave was something very interesting and enthralling.The enchanting melancholy of the chirping birds and their returning through the cave was a natural beauty altogether.the birds were huge in numbers and it was their perfect time when they used to arrive in the cave,,The cave was much deeper and we somehow managed a bit to watch some birds..
THE EVENING BEAUTY....
The day was saying bye and the night was welcoming us..Riding again though the bus we started for our next venture and this time it was camping.The night at the camp was one of the most exciting things that we all have loved to do..Heading towards a forest and at night it was all of a superb experience altogether.At the beginning it was quite a hurdle to find a place for bonfire and camping ..the tents were not enough but somehow we managed..The best thing and the best memory that I could personally carry with myself from this trip is none other than the Bonfire party..With no food and dinner at night,we just forgot of having food..Some musics with rocking numbers and we all were there dancing altogether,,THE STORY OF KATAPPA...begins from here...I feel Pattavy would certainly feel nice while reading the KATAPPA story..KATAPPA NE BAHUBALI KO KYUN MARA..lol..We did non stop dancing and mischievous things altogether that led obviously other people awake,.Till 4.45am we were awake and when we headed towards the camp to sleep ,another funny thing happened and this time it was someone's snoring that was coming from some other person..Tent to tent ,,,the chatting sessions were memorable..
BONFIRE AT CAMPING
DANCE PARTY AT CAMPING
DAY 3- 20TH MARCH.
..The last day ,the last morning ,after so many happenings back to back,where we had a very short sleep last night but still some happenings were knocking in..Before leaving the plave with a goodbye note.we got into another place and this time it's quite historic..It was ED SAM'S PARK..The park was innovated by the writer ED SAM and as he was quite bohemian at his times,he cultivated and portrayed some innovative ideas of plants with their assemblings in the park.
THE ENTRANCE OF THE PARK
TOURISTS GATHERING AT THE PARK
After the story of Ed Sam and his creativity,one would have ever imagined his love for nature while visiting this park,But to be very honest,there should be a maintenance in the park.The park has some beautiful places with some natural waterfalls .The whole architecture of the park was well framed by Ed.He must be applauded for it.
THE WATERFALL
THE SCENIC BEAUTY OF THE PARK...
The trip towards the park was something that ended everything ,that ended everything with a new hope of reuniting again,In Mexico ,I have been through many places to visit ,but the trip of LA HUASTECA POTOSI would remain something special for me always.The people ,and the places created a good chemistry with a solid equation.Life is too small ,and obviously there is a doubt if I would return to Mexico again or not but the memories never fade.Neither the memories nor the people ,nothing could be erased,,,never ever,,I hope my fellow mates ,those who have been with me in this trip ,are feeling emotional while reading this blog.Yep to be very frank ,being a blogger ,and being a person who is funloving for sure,I love to capture moments with my writings and so in the blog..Hope to get some comments for jotting down some lines for you all and hope again to get some comments from those viewers who are enjoying now reading it out..
Miss you....LA HUASTECA...Miss the TRIP.....
