Class 4 English Santoor – Unit 4: Up High – Chapter 11 A Journey to the Magical Mountains – Hindi Translation

Once upon a time, in a small village at the foot of the mighty Himalayas, lived a young girl named Minam. She loved to listen to stories about the mountains from her grandfather, who was once a Sherpa. The two of them would often go on long walks together.
Hindi Translationबहुत समय पहले की बात है। विशाल हिमालय की तलहटी में बसे एक छोटे से गाँव में मिनाम नाम की एक छोटी लड़की रहती थी। उसे अपने दादाजी से पहाड़ों के बारे में कहानियाँ सुनना बहुत पसंद था। उसके दादाजी कभी शेरपा थे। वे दोनों अक्सर साथ में लंबी सैर पर जाया करते थे।

One sunny morning, Minam’s grandfather said, “Minam, you have become strong, and you can walk for a long distance. Today, I will take you on a special journey to the mountains. We’ll see the beauty of the Himalayas up close!”
Hindi Translationएक धूप भरी सुबह, मिनाम के दादाजी ने कहा, ‘मिनाम, अब तुम मजबूत हो गई हो और लंबी दूरी तक चल सकती हो। आज मैं तुम्हें पहाड़ों की एक विशेष यात्रा पर ले जाऊँगा। हम हिमालय की सुंदरता को करीब से देखेंगे!’

Minam was excited and quickly packed her bag with some rotis with achaar, two water bottles, and her favourite fruit, apples.
Hindi Translationमिनाम बहुत उत्साहित हो गई और जल्दी से अपना बैग पैक कर लिया। उसने उसमें अचार के साथ कुछ रोटियाँ, दो पानी की बोतलें और अपना पसंदीदा फल, सेब रखे।

They started their journey early in the morning. As they walked, Minam saw beautiful flowers, tall trees, and heard the sounds of birds she had never heard before. The air was fresh and cool, and Minam felt very happy.
Hindi Translationवे सुबह-सुबह ही यात्रा पर निकल पड़े। चलते समय मिनाम ने सुंदर फूल और ऊँचे-ऊँचे पेड़ देखे और ऐसे पक्षियों की आवाज़ें सुनीं, जिन्हें उसने पहले कभी नहीं सुना था। हवा ठंडी और ताज़ी थी और मिनाम बहुत खुश थी।

After a while, they reached a small river with clear water. Minam’s grandfather said, “This is where we will have our lunch.”
Hindi Translationकुछ समय बाद, वे एक छोटी-सी नदी के पास पहुँचे, जिसका पानी बिल्कुल साफ था। मिनाम के दादाजी ने कहा, “यही वह जगह है जहाँ हम दोपहर का खाना खाएँगे।”

They sat by the river, enjoying their rotis and watching the fish swim. Minam dipped her feet in the cool water and laughed with joy while eating an apple.
Hindi Translationवे नदी के किनारे बैठ गए, रोटियाँ खाते हुए मछलियों को तैरते हुए देखने लगे। मिनाम ने अपने पैर ठंडे पानी में डाले और सेब खाते हुए खुशी से हँसने लगी।

After their meal, they continued their journey.
They climbed higher and higher, and soon they could see yaks.
Minam’s grandfather told her, “Yaks are very important to the people living in the mountains. They give us milk, wool, and help carry heavy loads.”
Hindi Translationखाने के बाद वे फिर से यात्रा पर निकल पड़े।
वे ऊँचाई की ओर चढ़ते गए और जल्द ही उन्होंने याक देखे।
मिनाम के दादाजी ने उसे बताया, “याक पहाड़ों में रहने वाले लोगों के लिए बहुत ज़रूरी होते हैं। वे हमें दूध और ऊन देते हैं और भारी सामान ढोने में भी मदद करते हैं।”

As they walked further, they reached a place where the ground was covered with snow. Minam had never seen so much snow before! She and her grandfather made a small snowman. They laughed and played, making memories Minam would value forever.
Hindi Translationवे आगे चलते गए और एक ऐसी जगह पहुँचे, जहाँ ज़मीन बर्फ से ढकी हुई थी। मिनाम ने इससे पहले इतनी सारी बर्फ कभी नहीं देखी थी! उसने और उसके दादाजी ने मिलकर बर्फ का एक छोटा-सा पुतला बनाया। वे हँसे और खेलते रहे तथा ऐसी यादें बनाईं, जिन्हें मिनाम हमेशा संजोकर रखेगी।

Finally, they reached the top of a hill. From there, Minam could see the huge peaks of the Himalayas shining in the sun. It was a beautiful sight. Her grandfather pointed to the highest mountain and said,
“That is Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world. Many brave people have tried to climb it.”
Hindi Translationअंत में, वे एक पहाड़ी की चोटी पर पहुँचे। वहाँ से मिनाम हिमालय की विशाल चोटियों को धूप में चमकते हुए देख सकती थी। यह एक बहुत सुंदर दृश्य था। उसके दादाजी ने सबसे ऊँचे पर्वत की ओर इशारा करते हुए कहा, “वह माउंट एवरेस्ट है, जो दुनिया का सबसे ऊँचा पर्वत है। बहुत से बहादुर लोगों ने इस पर चढ़ने का प्रयास किया है।”

Minam felt happy to be living near such wonderful mountains. As the sun began to set, Minam and her grandfather started their journey back home.
Hindi Translationमिनाम को ऐसे अद्भुत पहाड़ों के पास रहने पर बहुत खुशी हुई। जैसे ही सूरज डूबने लगा, मिनाम और उसके दादाजी घर वापस जाने के लिए अपनी यात्रा पर निकल पड़े।

On their way down, they heard the beautiful musical notes of a Santoor. It was played by an old man sitting under a tree. They also saw a family of mountain goats jumping from rock to rock. Minam’s grandfather explained, “These goats are good at climbing. They can go to places where it’s very hard for people to reach.”
Hindi Translationनीचे उतरते समय, उन्होंने संतूर के मधुर सुर सुने। उसे एक पेड़ के नीचे बैठे एक बूढ़े व्यक्ति ने बजाया था। उन्होंने पहाड़ी बकरियों के एक परिवार को भी एक चट्टान से दूसरी चट्टान पर छलाँग लगाते हुए देखा। मिनाम के दादाजी ने समझाया, “ये बकरियाँ चढ़ने में बहुत कुशल होती हैं। वे उन जगहों तक पहुँच सकती हैं, जहाँ लोगों के लिए पहुँचना बहुत कठिन होता है।”

By the time they reached their village, it was getting dark. Minam was tired but very happy. She turned to her grandfather and said, “Thank you for taking me to the magical mountains. I will never forget this day.”
Hindi Translationजब तक वे अपने गाँव पहुँचे, तब तक अँधेरा होने लगा था। मिनाम थकी हुई थी, लेकिन वह बहुत खुश थी। उसने अपने दादाजी की ओर मुड़कर कहा, “मुझे इन जादुई पहाड़ों की सैर कराने के लिए धन्यवाद। मैं इस दिन को कभी नहीं भूलूँगी।”

Her grandfather smiled and replied, “The mountains are truly magical, Minam. They teach us about strength, beauty, and the wonders of nature. Always remember to respect and protect them.”
Hindi Translationउसके दादाजी मुस्कुराए और बोले, “मिनाम, ये पहाड़ सचमुच जादुई हैं। ये हमें शक्ति, सुंदरता और प्रकृति के अद्भुत चमत्कारों के बारे में सिखाते हैं। हमेशा याद रखना कि हमें इनका सम्मान और संरक्षण करना चाहिए।”

Minam promised to take care of the mountains and share their magic with everyone she met.
Hindi Translationमिनाम ने वादा किया कि वह पहाड़ों की देखभाल करेगी और जिन-जिन लोगों से मिलेगी, उनके साथ पहाड़ों के इस जादू को साझा करेगी।
