Video Journey of #LoneCreekFalls #Sabie #SouthAfrica #TheLifesWayCaptures

Hi Friends, 

Lone Creek Falls is around 12km from Sabie, 50km from Lydenburg, 107km from Dullstroom. The waterfall is around 68m high. There is plenty of space for braai and toilet facilities are also available adjoining the parking area in a park. Kids totally enjoyed the falls and people enjoyed watching the falls from various pedestals made at Lone Creek Falls near Sabie, South Africa. 

My little one wanted to enter the water and did so by wetting his feet in the pool. Moreover, there were so many small fishes in the pool that used to eat your dead skin of the feet if you keep them still for some time which gives a tickling sensation. Enjoy this marvelous beauty of South Africa!

Flowers at God's Window #Graskop #SA #PhotoYatra #TheLifesWayCaptures

Hi Friends,

Flowers are lovely and there is nothing that beats them in terms of giving the divine pleasure to the eyes and the heart. They are truly a gift from nature and we shall continue to take their photos and share with the world. 

Why do people and governments make parks and botanical gardens? 

It's always to bring pleasure to human beings in terms of fragrance, beauty, symmetry and asymmetry, design, and colors of the best gifts of nature. Each country spends a huge amount of money to maintain these beautiful gifts of nature and there are jobs assigned to create and take care of the garden. 

But that doesn't mean flowers will survive where they are taken care of, at the God's Window there is no gardener in view but the flowers survive in their natural habitat without the disturbance of human hands. 

Nature has it the way of taking care of human beings and flowers are something that brings happiness to the minds of people who needs hope, they are presented to the sick and needy to wish him to get well soon, they are presented to the dead to pay homage, they are presented to the partners for the representation of the love towards each other. 

God's Window is a beautiful place to spend a few hours in the evenings and morning amidst nature and the view to live for. They have a tropical rainforest walk which is around 100meters and it is really great to walk through to reach God's Window. All photos are taken by Aashish Rai using Nikon D7000 and an 18-105mm kit lens. 

Namaste!!!

The View from God's Window #Graskop #SA #PhotoYatra #TheLifesWayCaptures

Hi Friends,

God's Window is a viewpoint just like you have one in Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA but this is totally different from the one in States. This is the greenest Canyon called Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve where God is opening his window towards to enjoy the fresh breeze and a great view of valley and hills. 

The place is right next to the highway and you can park your car on the side of the road and walk around 200-300metres to reach the place called God's Window in Graskop, Mpumalanga, South Africa. I always try to see the same whenever I am in the area and last time when I went the place was not visible at all because it was raining and fog clouded the roads and the visibility was too low. 

The place is worthy of its name as the view from the window is totally amazing but if you are not careful you can fall into the deep valley so precaution needs to be taken when visiting the place. The place is totally free and if you park the car inside then there is a charge of R10-20 for the entry. 

Check out this view from the opening where you can mountains after mountains and they say you can see 7 hills from God's Window and also Kruger National Park is also near the same but won't be visible. 

All the photos are taken by Aashish Rai using the Nikon D7000 camera and 18-105mm kit lens. If you are in the area, do visit this place and enjoy the amazing view of the South African Canyon. More on the canyon in the next posts. 

Namaste!!!

Berlin Falls in #Graskop #SouthAfrica #PhotoYatra #TheLifesWayCaptures

Hi Friends,

On our trip to Sabie - Graskop and adjoining areas, there are so many waterfalls that after some time you will say that let's see something else. 

Berling Falls is 80m in height and forms a candle-like fall of water which looks really lovely and unique in its own terms. Generally, at most of the tourist places, these plaques are installed by the SA Tourism and Government but soon taken away by the people visiting them so at most of the places it is no longer there. It's a pure theft which shall not be done at least at the tourist places.

The entry ticket is R10 per person which guard takes at the boom gate without any receipt or something. If you are walking without any car then he doesn't charge you as we were staying very near this place, I took a trip early in the morning to the same and saw the falls on my jogging/walk. I don't think he was even there at that time. 

If you staying in Graskop or Sabie towns you are already in the middle of some of the great mountain ranges and you will feel right in nature. You will be able to feel the fresh air and it can rain at any time of the day. 

If you are a fan of waterfalls this region will provide you with numerous accounted for and various unseen hiking trails waterfalls which will not only challenge your skills but also you will feel relaxed in the jungle. All the photos are taken by Aashish Rai using Nikon D7000 camera and 18-105mm kit lens at Berlin Falls, Graskop, South Africa. Check out my other Waterfall stories on my blog 1. Howick Falls 2. Lisbon Falls 3. Sterkspruit Waterfalls 4. Lone Creek Falls and more are coming for your viewing pleasures.

Namaste!!!

Not so alone at Lone Creek Falls #Sabie #SouthAfrica #PhotoYatra #TheLifesWayCaptures

Hi Friends,

Let's take you to the journey to the province of Mpumalanga where cities like Sabie, Graskop, and Hazyview form a kind of triangle and there are so many places, viewpoints, waterfalls, and more to visit around these towns. 

In this part of the journey, we are going to Lone Creek Falls which are around 12km from Sabie, 50km from Lydenburg, 107km from Dullstroom which was my starting point to go visit the waterfalls. The waterfalls from around 68m height from the hill and the best part are that you can enter and take a bath if you have brought your swimsuits. 

Along the way, you will find the highest road from Sea level in South Africa and it was really awesome as my watch showed the validity of the claim too using its altimeter along with the GPS. It only happens if you cross Mt. Anderson Nature Reserve from a single road crossing the reserve from Lydenburg to Sabie. 

Once we reached the Old Lydenburg road it was a gravel road on and off and once you reach the gates of the falls, you need to buy tickets per person and per car. The fees are not so high as it's around R10 per person. Once you park the car outside, you enter a forested area that is around 200m walk to the falls which has several stairs up and down. 

Once you reach the falls, the beauty is amazing and the sound waterfalls make it the best experience to the ears along with the sound of birds and crickets chirping in the jungle.

There is plenty of space for braai and toilet facilities are also available adjoining the parking area in a park. People from the area come in huge numbers on public holidays and weekends to enjoy the falls with their family and friends. I would definitely say that you can avoid going on weekends if you don't like crowds. 

Kids totally enjoyed the falls and people enjoyed watching the falls from various pedestals made at Lone Creek Falls near Sabie, South Africa. My little one wanted to enter the water and did so by wetting his feet in the pool. Moreover, there were so many small fishes in the pool that used to eat your dead skin of the feet if you keep them still for some time which gives a tickling sensation. 

Here is a snap of me and my family to confirm that I was there and totally loved the place. I am not sure if this is correct to share my personal photos here but I think it adds to the beauty of the place more than anything. All the photos are taken by Aashish Rai using Canon 77D camera with an 18-135mm USM kit lens. 

Sawubona!
