Perhaps the most alluring spectacle to experience in Ananta Ecostays, camping near Mumbai is at the time of dawn.
The dead silence of the frosty morning is massacred by the shrieks of your alarm. You battle the temptation to fall in the comfort of your sleep as you zip open your tent to be greeted by the embrace of the winds of winter. The canvas of the sky is still smeared in ink-black, with shades of grayish blue becoming vibrant on its edges.
The shimmering of the stars fading as the sky disperses a darker shade of blue as time passes. The bone fire burnt down to embers in the ashes like fireflies flickering before they wither to dust.
The winds are still wrapping everything in their chilly blanket, the darkness is elapsing as the dawn glistens over the end of the horizon. You lay in the comfort of your armchair as you sip up your spicy ginger tea to await the march of the dawn atop the mountains. Overlooking a stretch of mountain ranges slowly unveiling their beauty as dawn unfolds at a steady pace. The orchestra of birds chirping in their symphony, echoing the ranges with their mellow tunes. Their dynamic chirps electrifying you with their pulsating spirits.
The darkness has yielded the sky and the shade of blue are spreading its vibrant shade across the stretch of the sky. The chilly breezes swirling in the air with a hint of warmth in them as they gush through you. The fragrance of the forest engulfs you in its aromatic embrace as you ravish the sweet scent of dawn.
That is when the sky disperses a tinge of orange in blue, the light of the dawn illuminating the world below, as your vision fixates on the aesthetic view bathing in light.
The dawn encapsulates the spirit of spring, exuding ecstasy with every drawing breath. The shade of tangerine slithering throughout the canvas of the sky and the sun emerging from the far end of the east, its vibrant glory spreading through the dawn. The crystal clear sky portraying the immaculate picture of dawn in a pristine fashion. The sun, bold and unobscured, roaring in the sky and the birds taking flight whilst chirping their resounding tunes.
The whole world sparks with life and you sit there, basking in the warmth of the dawn. Relishing an experience, which you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
