By 10:50 AM, the team finally reached the starting point of the hike—a peaceful hilltop destination known for its fresh air and scenic beauty. The hike began with cheerful spirits as the group moved along the trail surrounded by stunning landscapes, chilly winds, and the calmness of nature. The route offered breathtaking views of valleys, terraced fields, and distant hills, creating the perfect environment for meaningful conversations, jokes, and shared moments.
