‘Hum sochte rehte the ke koi le jaye hume… bada shauk hai trekking ka’: Two sisters over the age of 70 on Kedarnath trek win hearts

Some stories on the internet do not try to go viral but still end up touching thousands of people. A simple travel moment, shared from a mountain route, is now getting a lot of attention online. It is not about a destination or a big event, but about two elderly women whose way of living has quietly inspired many social media users.

A simple meeting on the Kedarnath route

The story was shared by Instagram user Jini Jhala, who came across two elderly sisters during her journey towards Kedarnath. According to her post, both women were above 70 years of age and were still actively travelling and trekking.

What stood out in her experience was their approach to life. As described in the post, they did not carry any sense of limitation because of age. Instead, they showed a steady interest in continuing their journey, exploring places, and staying active through travel.

Still active after completing tough treks

The post also mentioned that the sisters had already completed the Kinner Kailash trek, which is known to be a challenging route.

Even after that experience, they continued to look forward. They spoke about their interest in travelling more, meeting different people, and keeping themselves engaged with new experiences.

The post also pointed out a simple contrast. While many people wait for the “right time” to do things in life, the sisters chose to focus on the present and keep moving forward without delay.

A short video that reflected their spirit

During the journey, Jini Jhala also recorded a video of the two sisters. In that video, one of them spoke about their interest in trekking.

She said, “They enjoy going on treks,” which showed how natural and simple their love for trekking really is.

Social media response

After the post was shared online, it quickly gained attention from users who found it meaningful and uplifting.

One user commented, “Beautiful souls.”

Another user wrote, “Wow, so inspiring.”

A third reaction said, “I want to become like them.”

These reactions show how the story connected with people in a very simple and direct way.

Why this Kedarnath trek story is getting attention

Stories from the Kedarnath trekking route often focus on travel difficulty or scenic beauty. But this story stood out for a different reason. It highlighted the mindset of two elderly sisters who continue to trek even after 70 years of age.

Their experience of completing the Kinner Kailash trek and their continued interest in travel made the story widely relatable. It brought attention to how age is often seen as a limit, but personal interest and passion can still continue.
