I couldn't see more than two steps ahead, but my ears were flooded with an incredible, deep symphony. All around me, the hidden mountain valleys had come alive with the thunderous roar of dozens of temporary waterfalls plunging into the Konkan plains below. The intense scent of wet basalt rock and fresh wild ferns filled my lungs with every deep breath. I walked slowly, guided only by the soft, squelching sound of my mud-soaked boots on the clay tracks. There were no phone signals, no train whistles, and no crowded viewpoints. In that raw, stormy isolation, I felt completely small, beautifully untethered, and entirely alive inside the mountain's wild embrace.
