Hey everyone! 🌼
Have you ever been on a little adventure that made you smile for days? Well, I recently went on a trek to Hati Pahad (that means “Elephant Hill” 🐘⛰️) in Balangir, Odisha — and guess who came along? My favorite, Priyanshi Di! 💕
Let me tell you all about it!
🌄 What is Hati Pahad?
Hati Pahad is a peaceful little hill near Balangir town. From far away, it looks like a giant elephant lying down — that’s why it’s called “Hati” (elephant) “Pahad” (hill)! It’s full of big rocks, green trees, and chirping birds. Perfect for a fun trek and picnic!
🚶♀️ The Trek Begins
We started early in the morning, with our backpacks full of snacks, water, and of course… lots of excitement! 😄 The sun was still sleepy, and the air felt fresh and cool. I was holding Priyanshi Di’s hand and asking a million questions (as usual 😜). She never got tired of answering!
The climb wasn’t too hard, but it did make us sweat a little. We laughed, played guessing games, and even spotted a few butterflies dancing around the bushes. 🦋
🪨 Rock Climbing & Little Discoveries
Some parts of the trek had huge rocks that we had to climb. I felt like a mountain explorer! Priyanshi Di cheered me on and showed me where to step safely. We also saw some cool plants and tiny colorful insects that looked like nature’s jewels. 💎🌿
Did you know? Hati Pahad has small hidden caves! We peeked inside one, and it was so quiet and cool in there — like a secret hideout!
📸 Picture Time & Sunset Magic
At the top, we could see all of Balangir! The houses looked like tiny toys from up there. We sat down to eat our snacks, clicked lots of photos, and shared silly stories. When the sun began to set, everything turned golden orange — it felt like we were inside a painting. 🎨🌅
Priyanshi Di said,
“Every adventure teaches us something — about nature, and about ourselves.”
And I’ll never forget that.
💛 Why You Should Go!
If you live near Balangir or ever visit, Hati Pahad is the perfect place for a short, sweet trek. You’ll love the fresh air, the views, and maybe even find your own little adventure like we did.
And if you can go with someone like Priyanshi Di — who’s always kind, fun, and full of cool facts — it’ll be even more special. 😊
🧺 Tips for Young Trekkers:
- Wear comfy shoes and carry a water bottle 💧
- Go with an adult or big sister/brother
- Don’t litter — keep nature clean! 🧹
- Bring a small notebook to sketch or write your memories ✍️
This was one of the best days ever, and I wanted to share it with you all. If you’ve been to Hati Pahad or any fun trek, tell us in the comments! Maybe we’ll feature your story on Learn with Pari too! 📬
