The doctor said Akash has Acrophobia,fear of heights. He is even scared of going to the balcony of his home. Then how did he shoot with his camera all the way while travelling on the mountains of Uttarkashi. 😆 He is going to be training in NIM how is it even possible for him t stay away from heights.😕 Not to forget he also has vertigo. Is that a blooper or did I miss something? 😕

Fear of heights! becomes more obvious when a person is standing at an edge and looking down. That person can travel to places at high altitudes.

The mountains of Uttarkashi has very narrow roads. You can only see mountains and deep valleys. Most of the road is scary even for a normal person as you are very close to the edge.You can hardly see anything else. Lets see how they sort this issue in future episodes:)

Yes, Aakash had Acrophobia.. U can see how he looks extremely happy when he starts to travel his journey around Uttarkhashi.. Definitely I can't deny this was something dangerous to look far.. He actually sinked into his professional after a long period seeing those beautiful lovely nature's gift around Uttarkhashi.. He himself couldn't identify or recheck his fear towards heights.. That was erased when he started himself inserting into a situations.. When he starts to click her pics, he himself enjoying those moments.. That was visible, when he go through his pictures and he too said after a long time I m back to my mode..

I totally understand Akash's situation as I have the same problems.
I get vertigo on tall buildings, I feel dizzy when I look down from the roof or windows of a skyscraper or even a 10 story building.

But I love travelling in the mountains. Ive been to as high places as Gangotri and Kedarnath (12,000 feet) in the Himalayas but didnt feel dizzy at all.

Only if I stand at the edge of the mountain I feel like Im going to fall down. But travelling on mountain roads or looking at mountain scenery is no problem at all.

Akash's acrophobia will return with full vengeance when hes up in the high mountains, climbing actual peaks or hanging from the side of a mountain.

Rightly said even I have fear of heights but its only when I look down from height standing at the edge. To get over this fear I have travelled heights and being a trekker its my passion to visit places. As you said I had a trekking experience in the Himalayas with a mixed group of experienced and not so but it was an amazing journey. During that trek I have visited NIM which is a place worth visiting. The equpments accessories available their are just superb. A rigorous training is given to candidates which contain a schedule to overcome such fears by facing it.

You're welcome! 😊 Garhwal is indeed a beautiful place, Kedar-Badri, Gangotri, Uttarkashi, Rudraprayag, Devprayag etc.
I visited these places 20 yrs ago...they must have changed and modernized a lot! Hope to return there someday soon. This serial is making me long to visit these places again.

It is still beautiful. I visited 4 years back😛. Watching this show makes me relive those moments. Kedarnath has not modernise that much because of the extreme weather conditions. But Gangotri, Yamunotri, and Badri has. Now you got to walk just 6 kms for yamunotri. Maybe the pollution has increased with the number of people increasing each year.
