a day in our life in Himachal - hiking by the Tirthan river

- We visited Shimla in Himachal Pradesh in the peak of summer. We had to leave Shimla early because of the forest fires and we decided to visit Tirthan Valley since we still had many days of my mom's India tour left before she went back to Finland. We stayed at the Blue Sheep Hostel for a few days and explored the town of Banjar and the areas around the Tirthan river. One day we went hiking by the river and it was a memorable experience. Most other days though, we were lounging in the garden at the hostel and enjoying our food. I hope you enjoy our little family adventure from a day in our lives in Himachal :)

The best thing about you and Vinod is that both of you and your families enjoy holidays, not in the hustle and bustle of glamorous places, but in the places of seclusion where there is space for mental peace and mental and physical rejuvenation. That’s the whole point of being on holiday.
Thank you so much for the kind words, I very much agree with you :)
A lot of people can learn from your mother how to view
places,cultures and a whole different way of living. She has set an example.
The way your mom astounds at simpler things like " that water, the fresh air" it just melts my heart. Mothers are a great soul. Hatsoff of to every mother including you too Johanna!!
and also Little Annika is a pure delight to watch, just love watching her grow up!❤❤🙏🙏
You are so kind, thank you :) To my mom everything in India is so new and exciting, so she is like a little kid herself just marvelling at everything :)
Compared to all no 1 bloggers you are the best.
Working in the USA atm, miss India, miss my hometown Himachal ❤️ here’s to returning soon 🥂 lovely video 🙂🙏
Haha! Lucky she didn’t throw the ball down the hill again! That was a beautiful place to visit.
I feel refreshed just by watching this video...Actually yes, vacationing somewhere should just be it, far from hustle and bustle of cities and having the time and space to connect with your loved ones amidst mother nature... ❤️ you guys..
(obviously) I so agree with you! Especially now as a parent, the most important thing about vacation is to get to relax and re-energise! :) We're busy enough even with Annika only on vacation too :'D
Vinod is a terrific down to earth simple yet charming guy. Annika is cutest. Both Finnish ladies r superb.
0:45 😁 it's exactly 6:30 pm now here
your daughter makes each and every video of yours very beautiful
I am wondering how much of all these memories now your mom is reminiscing 😍
Aww! Johanna, your Mom's so adorable..I love to hear & see her expressions from the lap of nature...such a darling !Beautiful post of you 4 soaking in the Himalayan paradise.Thanks for the lovely share.
Happy to hear you enjoyed the video! We had a great time in tirthan 🥰
Nothing like Himachal. Video is well shot.
8:19 Annika "Neilarmstrong" celebrating her stone landing and seems very happy about it
Mountains speak to my soul too.. beaches, plains, bare hills- nothing beats green mountains with fresh air. We all need healing, our soul needs healing and mountains spell magic on us and can heal us from within. I yearn to go to one...its been ages.. Living in urban jungle of NCR has bruised my soul and health. For now, your videos of your hills and greens is soothing my soul a bit..not to omit, your narration adds to the healing. Great going Johanna. Your home in Kerela is beautiful too..
Thank you so much, I'm glad to make you feel better with my videos! Hope you get out into the nature soon too, I'm so thankful we get to also live in the middle of it :)
Visiting places like this remains in our heart and mind for a long time- so refreshing.
Joanna your mom has that child like charm..for her every thing is so splendid so charming..I can feel what she says..like from the heart..you also looks fresh like daisy..I think the mountain air is refreshing 😊
My mom has always been curious to go and explore the world, so she's super excited to finally have got the chance and of course do it with Annika! Who better to teach us about excitement and appreciation of learning new things than little kids!
Hi Johanna, Himachal is really an incredible place that I was not aware of, the mountain, the river and the nature is absolutely amazing. I'm sure your mother found her visit to India a great experience to take home with her. Thank you so much for sharing this unique paradise-like environment 🙏🙏🙏💓💓💓
Happy Onam to all Keralites ❤️
What a beautiful place. Along with birds chirping and Annikas babbling blends with the nature, tirthan Valley is blessed with her visit and her walks.
Do Visit this Place during Winters in order to experience beautiful snowfall and snow capped mountains and valleys. One would feel like Finland, Norway and Iceland kind of ambiance in this part of India.
You do everything with such pleasure that I want to do the same things right away. Hiking before breakfast, then breakfast. I wish I was there too. How Annika defended herself. She seems to be a true warrior, as her mother said, rather than her father's princess as her father calls her. She will most possibly become the mixture of it. She is to-be a warrior princess.
We actually call her a Haryanvi viking, never a princess which doesnt fit her personality at all 🥰 more like a warrior queen!
There's nothing better than a cool and refreshing trip to the mountains, especially during the heat of the summer It's really so beautiful where you are. I think your mother is having a wonderful holiday with you all. A trip of a life time! 🌷
My mom absolutely loved the Himalayas :)
Wonderful and Beautiful You and Vinod ,Annika,Grandmom Enjoyed send good time many deferents place Mountain 🏔, deffrents Any Place beautiful more ,Annika is happy and walking health , Bridge many other any places very nice 🤩👍🏼😊God bless her Annika , God love you Annika family 🙌🏼🙏🏼🤲🏼🌸💞
So beautiful u guys enjoy with your mom lots of love
00:53 that face flip ❣🥰🥺😊
Now it's raining in india ❤️
Your videography is wonderful Johanna. It just draws me right into the scene. So good to see your Mom being overwhelmed by all the beauty of the surroundings. Something not to be forgotten, I'm sure. Annika seems to be a bit overtaken at times by the energy of the mountains, forest & moving water as well. Perhaps that's a priceless building block, as you alluded to. You are all so fortunate to have these experiences. Keep her safe J. Love to you all. ❤
Thank you so much Blair! And yes, my mom is still digesting all that she experienced, and of course watching all these videos and the photos she took :)
Wow.......
Annika and the lovely views…..😊
Today we are celebrating Onam festival in kerala... wish you and your family a happy and prosperous Onam 🥰🎊
Oh yes, we're enjoying a rainy holiday today and last Sunday we had a great Onam sadhya! Happy Onam to you too, Sree :)
@@JohannaNorth 🥰🥰🥰
I love your videos. They’re realistic and simple. No show off. I admire the way you are bringing up Arnica.
Thank you so much 🤗
Wonderful family 👪 in a beautiful place..👍
How beautiful nature can be....this part of the world,I too would love to venture.but watching your video somehow brought me close to it.hv fun,especially having Yr mom around.
I hope you get there one day, and if not then can enjoy all the videos from the mountains and other bucket list destinations! That's what I love about making travel videos, taking viewers with me to places they might not otherwise get to visit :)
Hallo Johanna, I like very much to follow you and your famliy step by step. I think that is not easy to be an international family. So I hope you and Vinod and Annika have so a great chance to live without borders of culture and contries. What counts is only love, respect and understandig!!! All the best for you from Ruth from Germany
It comes with its challenges and disagreements, but we do our best and I don't think I could've made a better match with anyone other than Vinod :)
To have a modest cottage in Shimla outskirts would be a wonderful thing. I am definitely a mountain person and Himalayan mountains have it all.
Beautiful❣️ You're so fortunate to have such a beautiful family, and a lovely place to vacation!!
Welcome to holy food turism
Couldn't have said it better...Mountains speak to my soul too😊🏔💚 it's wonderful to see how you're exposing Annika to nature, she will automatically grow up to love, appreciate and value it and that connection is priceless. The hydrangea bush behind you where you were having lunch was just magnificent, haven't seen one of those in a long time. Eagerly waiting for the next vlog 💕
My mom was so in love with the garden, especially the hydrangeas which she was astonished to see in India too! There are surprisingly many similarities between himachali and Finnish nature 🥰
Hello and happy Onam to you and your family. I am happy that your mother is still with you and enjoying her stay and the beautiful summer in India. Again, all the very best to all of you.
Happy Onam to you too! :)
Nice video and I can see you've got love for the mountains. Enjoy while you're here. Love from Shimla, Himachal Pradesh❤
Always very fond of videos and Johaana way of narration, little Arnica is just a replica of her granny (Johaana' s mom), through your videos, i feel as if, i too explored the nature and the places. God bless this happy family.
Oh yes, she's still trying to digest everything that she experiences! She was so overwhelmed by all of it :)
I am really enjoying your walk,beautiful scenery and everything is so newly touched by the rising sun,enjoy every moment
What a wonderful holiday. I’m so so glad that Mumi is loving India. And Himalayas are my favourite too! Enjoy your holiday. Am looking forward to what you are going to show her next :-)
The doggy resting his head on the chair’s handle and Annika busy on the side. Brought a smile to my face. So so cute!
You know what - my hello has become ‘hello hello’! Even when I’m in office!! Guess who is to blame :-)
Annika sends her hello hellos! ☺️
It's so serene and beautiful to see a part of our country so far away from Kerala. Enjoy and stay safe!
I love how diverse India is! One will never run out of new things and places to explore :) Happy Onam!
Annika is bright eyed n bushy tail starting her mornings, Mommi loves the crisp mountain air..the great outdoors as u say Johanna 😍. Such a beautiful video. ..the atmosphere n sceneries so palpable n alive 🌿🌄 . The solitary honking 😅 on mountain trail. The pine trees 🍂 so calming in the wooded area. Great vids so far showcasing the majestic Himalayan region 🇨🇮 🙏🏻💙💚 .
Thanks Johanna n Vinod 💖 .
Happy to hear you enjoyed with us! I’ll share a secret: best is yet to come after one more video 😉
@@JohannaNorth ..aww..Waiting for the surprise 😊
Johanna you are one very decent videos with a mild music & your voice over is excellent compared all no.1 bloggers, no in necessary talks you or vinod very decent, mind soothing, natural, loved it keep continue all videos, we aged at home enjoyed all your videos.
God bless you, annika, vinod, mother,your sister too.stay blessed. Visit bangaluru some time in summer.
Thank you so much for the kind words 🙂 I hope the rains aren't an issue for you at home! I love Bengaluru, and have been waiting a long time to visit again. We were planning to come now in September but it was unfortunately impossible :( Have you seen my earlier videos from your city?
Wow, what a amazing view, Himachal is really very very close to nature & God. Mountains, Rivers, forests wonderful state to stay. Cute Annika always played big role to entertain your social media family. Look forward for next vlog. Stay blessed 🌹
Indeed I have to admit that if I ever feel like there might be a higher godly power in the universe, I feel so in the mountains :)
Thnx for acknowledgement 🙏
Enjoyed the vlog thoroughly. 👍👏
Nice to see you guys specially Anikaa😘❤❤❤love from Coimbatore TAMILNADU

Your videos are extreme beautiful,humbling and somehow able to showcase how subtle beauty of small things can give the greatest happiness in life. God bless you and your family🙂🙂🙂🙂
Thank you so much! That's exactly what I try to share in the videos!! :)
Wow, I'm glued to the videos Johhana, Annika is incredibly cutest child, her actions speak beautiful language ❤. Your mom is so appreciative of everything. Johhana I'm loving your videos who knew one day you both will meet and hv an amazing child😊. You're a wonderful person.
Thank you so much!
Sooooo beautiful ❤️, what a scenic view, so lovely nature, enjoyed the amazing view of this video, you captured so beautifully the nature and also enjoyed sweet sweet Annika's walking, talking, smiling... everything, it's a lovely video again ❤️❤️
Thank you so much 🙂 The Indian/Himalayan nature is so stunning that it'd be impossible not to capture it's beauty! We had a great time and I'm glad it shows :)
Loved the video. Thank you for sharing your journeys. Annika is getting to experience so much of the nature and this will definitely have a positive impact on her. Kudos to u and Vinod!!
Sometimes it's utterly impossible to get her into the house, away from the outdoors :'D But that's indeed a good thing! Rather that than trying to drag her out of the house sometimes :)
For me mountains feel very close to my soul . I am more of a mountain person than beach .
You are so lucky . It must be so refreshing mentally and physically.
Hello Johanna Vinod and baby Annika 🎈💕👧🏻🎈happy holidays 👋🌻🌞that is so true Johanna 🐈🐕🦺🐈🐕🌴🍁🌱🌿lovely walking though the valley 🌿🐕🌱🐈🐕🦺Bless you and the family 👋🌻🌞🫂
Thank you so much 🤗
Very beautiful and peaceful place it's. Lucky to visit such places with parents. Nice to see Annika enjoying her trip ❤️
13:07 Such a cute kid Annika is. She is saying something, pointing downhill 👇🏼
She's calling for her ball (which she threw down) in Finnish :)
Once again, such a beautiful vlog 😍....Loved every bit of it. Tirthan valley is indeed one of the most beautiful places in our country and you, along with your family made the most of this travel. Travelling with a child has its challenges but loved your experiences:)....Keep sharing more, whenever time permits.
Such a beautiful place n lovely vlog.
I always love to go to the mountains.....💙💙💙💚💚

Hi Johanna,i would like to see you explore sayolsar lake nearby tirthan valley that' place is somewhat real heaven for hikers
It would have been lovely to hike there, but this time around it was not possible with Annika and my mom having a leg injury :)

Beautiful ❤️❤️ pictures

Very nice
Happy onam wishes Annika baby 💕💕💕🎈🎈🎈🙏🙏👍
@ 12:46 Annika- See Daddy ... Isaac Newton was wrong !. Aiti ran twice as fast as gravity to collect the ball !... See !.. She's huffing and puffing !
I'll need to have Vinod explain me the physics related to your statement :'D
@@JohannaNorth just a silly joke from me.....
By the way about the physics...all masses ( for example -a ball )released from a certain height fall ( accelerate ) at the same rate ..it is denoted as 'g'( also known as acceleration due to gravity) which is equal to 9.81 meters per second squared. ( which is pretty quick actually)... so when I noticed that you were huffing and puffing after going a long way downhill to collect the ball, I joked that you went twice as fast as gravity ( which in reality is impossible) in order to go collect the ball for your daughter ! It was a way of saying you'll do anything readily for your daughter! ymmärsi?
*you are a natural story teller Yohaana, but who did the starting editing ? Vinod or you ? Like always, It's marvellous ! BTW, the table infront of those beautiful flowers, where you & mommy having breakfast, that was just extraordinary shot ! Reminded me the french, polish, etc movies of my college days when I used to go to the oldest film club of India to watch them. Loved it*
Vinod has his own job and I'm the one managing my social media channels, sometimes with a little help though :) So thank you. The table next to the hydrangea bushes was my mom's favourite spot too :)
@@JohannaNorth I think Vinod is in Govt sector (probably you said so earlier), at the same time it was his idea (you said) to take Annika's shots from her level (getting down with some back probs), that's why I thought he might have done his part to assist you while editing, I didn't have any doubt (but made it clear) that those macro shots & wide shots clubbing were your hardwork .. Even I thought you might have done some professional course bcs of the beautiful presentation....
*Anyways, you made everything around you beautiful.. the positivity is reaching your subscribers too... I'm sure your Vlogs will be in trending very soon, those having million subscribers don't have your story telling quality ... all the best*
Majesty and peace of mountains landscape 🏔, poetry of the nature 🌸, happy and smily Annika's face ❤❤, tender moments between mummy and Annika...thank you for this resourceful vlog ! 🥰🥰🙏🌿
❤️🙏
Annika and your mother are mirror images of each other. They have so much resemblance.
Been there ❤️
Hope you had as a wonderful stay as we did :)
Happy Onam
Annika didn’t like the girl! She protects herself very well 💫
Can you pl give us the address of your hotel in Trihan Valley
GREAT TO SEE NICE MOUNTAIN AND CITY DEFERENTS ANY PLACE … WE ENJOYED EAT LUNCH OR DINNER EVER VERY NICE 👍🏼… ANNIKA LOOKING ANOTHER ANIMAL …❤️😊
Visit Meghalaya once you ill love our beautiful natures ♎
Nice
Ohhhhh Johanna what a SUPER vlog. Tirthan Valley is mind blowing in terms of its beauty. I would love to visit. I can take a bus from Aut to Tirthan, and have tried so many times to find the distance to local hostels/homestays from the Tirthan bus stand but Google is just not giving me any info. Hmmmm. Would you happen to know this info dear as its necessary prior to my travel. Also the blue hostel looks AWESOME but i think i would be far better off in a family homestay as i cant stand those parties that begin in the afternoon esp with trance and weed. It's a pet hate of mine. If I'm able to avoid such stays and get some orientation on how to reach the nearest accommodations form the bus stand i might just make it to Tirthan valley!!!
Namaste and Blessings
Kas ❤️🕉️❤️🕉️❤️🕉️❤️🕉️❤️🕉️❤️
The Banjar bus station is just a few minutes walk away from the blue sheep hostel. Jibhi, about an hour away, is a more popular hostel/guesthouse destination. But The Blue Sheep isn't a WILD party place either, but with a baby's sleep schedule it is not entire quiet either. :)
@@JohannaNorth oh Johanna this information is soooooo Helpful. We are still off season so it will probs be pretty quiet next week in Tirthan. ❤️ I will message the hostel today 😀
Nice vlog
Ma’am please come to Bathad it’s 20km ahead from banjar in Tirthan valley 🙏🙏🙏
Juxtaposition of four generations of life represented in this video. Interesting. Living life to the fullest, with what has been offered to us.
👌👌👌
Hai Johanna sis Happy onam ✨😇 How's you're day going so far ... And i like to ask you one thing ...there is a sense of silence and peace in all your vlogs and how you maintain this through out your TH-cam journey... But it feels so relaxing to watch sis 🤍❄🍃
I hope you had a good Onam too! For me it was quite busy yesterday, but we had some good moments at home :) I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly, but I just try to enjoy family time, nature and life at my own speed and capture that as things are. I like to take things slow and I hate hurry and noise, so that's how my TH-cam journey would be too :) ...and I try to ignore unnecessarily negative comments and don't partake in debating
@@JohannaNorth 🙌.. Ignore negativity that's all we want now in this world 🤍 sis.
Happy onam annika keep her away from stray dogs, they are dangerous ☺️
Happy onam!
What kind of work do you do that you get to have so many vacation days?
We've only had about a month's worth of vacation this year in June which I think is pretty basic :)
You don't let her go near stray dogs....
