Following are the posts of ma experience of the Himalayan Trek been in the month of May... The experience was sooo rockinnn that cudnt culminate it in one single post...!!!
Our trip to Har Ki Doon began its journey from Dehradun station where a bus picked us up and was going to drop us at Sankri (from where we would make our way to Taluka, the base camp) in Uttarkashi district,Uttrakhand. Our 12 hour bus journey began with not so curvy ghats but as we neared the destination the roads became steeper and cold winds blowing as we gained higher altitudes. On the way we had our lunch in a dhabba at Mori with delicious roti, sabji and dal. Cooked on logs of wood this sumptuous meal freshened everyone from the long bus ride. In just about 2hours or so from there we reached the destination, Sankri. At Sankri, a jeep was arranged to drop us till the base camp, Taluka. However, a landslide had unexpectedly broken a bridge connecting two banks of the small-flowing river where the jeeps couldn't cross over, resulting in just about a kilometer or two of walking to reach the base camp from the point. A man-made bridge built across was crossed one by one and a good warm-up began for days of hike ahead.
On reaching Taluka, everyone was spellbound looking at location where we were camping. We were alloted our tents and asked to settle ourselves inside. Hot Soulful Soup and Dinner was served. The cooks put up an excellent buffet with Healthy Food inclusive of Salads, Papads, Delicious Sabjis, Garama -Garam Rotis and Yummy Dal-Rice.
The sun had set and the sky wore its night robe.
Thats where we were to head in days to come! Even in that Persian-Blue coloured sky one could admire the scenic beauty. Down lay the beautiful river melting down from the glaciers of mountains which could be seen by our eyes at the entity. Rocky mountain range lay on the other side of the river bank and as the range moved ahead it began to cap itself with snow.
