Hiking to Chilla Gah (Meditation Site) of Sufi Saint

To experience the hiking journey, you have to hike back with me on 14 December 2024. The light was gone, and Wifi( internet) was also off. Without mobiles, this generation is lost. We have nothing to do without the internet.

Saturday was going boring. That’s why my roommate “Meesam” took me on a hiking trip to Chillah Gah. I never heard about this place. Now, I know about it. Chillah is a spiritual situation in which saints/ people sit in meditation. Gah, it is a word for place. So, it means that we are going to a place where a Sufi saint meditated. That site/ place is preserved, and thousands of people visit this site daily. They lit up diya(candles), pray, and eat langar(food meant for goodwill).

Not everything was young, lush green, and youthful. Some trees were living some last moments of their lives. They have lived and stood naked without holding any leaves over them. They were narrating stories of youthful days to pass by.
