After long walks along the paths of 'himalaya I came into a village from where the pilgrimage to the shrine of Kedarnath. I arrived in the evening, until the majority of people are here to reach by bus and then walk, there's a great multitude of people, all are preparing to go to sleep and fill the available accommodations (free ones) everywhere, I reminiscent of the slave trade all crammed farcene to stay longer, I decide that I can not sleep in such conditions, individuals around the country and a source of hot water made a small temple where even if you are outdoors you can lie down on that the stones are tempered, I'm settling for passing a kid who invites me to follow him, I go with him, and leads me to the restaurant where she works, here the owner joins the tables in pairs to create three beds, even this time my good star has forsaken me.

The next morning I get up very early, around 5, I greet and thank the kind gentlemen and childbirth at a time of Kedarnath, after about 10 minutes walk there is a rock under un'antro saddu inviting me to tea and smoking a ciloom (Indian pipe ritual), smokes one, two ... and again, I greet him and resume the path, around the corner (20 meters after) there is another saddu: "ciloom pious" (example = smoking), I like the offer and stand with him.

I'm still in the company of saddu starting to move the pilgrims on foot, on horseback, in litters of 4-straight men, cripples on crutches, with no legs crawling on his hands see this multitude of people going up makes me think of early retirements bibblici, just fantastic. I resume the journey after another 30-40 steps saddu another: "ciloom pious" and so it is up until noon, after 7 hours of walking I was just halfway (10 km out of 20) to decide which to reach the goal no more than one stop in a couple of hours arrival at destination.

First encounter with a military tent ifermeria, at 4000 meters may have some problems, then a street with buildings on either side and in front of the temple of Kedarnath, going toward the temple and I'm calling from a saddu: "ciloom ple, "I stop with baba and I like. Greetings and I go to see the temple, I stopped a boy of Australia (only non-Indian as well as me) and asked me if I smoke, I watch amazed and I signal to follow me: let the baba and these as they see it rise and they go, I salute and I go well, then the baba tell me: "no one there." India is well and I'm at home in India.

Kedarnath is a place among the most beautiful and wonderful that I know, hope I did not bother dealing with certain topics.
