For a moment time will stand still until you can completely grasp the vastness of it. Green-carpeted meadows will please your eyes and relax your senses. You will feel as if you have waited to be here for years. At high altitude places the surface of the soil is very soft and the grass growing above it is even more soft. At the Pushtara meadows, if you take off your shoes and stand barefoot on the soft grass for a moment, all your tiredness will go away instantly.
