Munsyari Khalia Top Part 7

the photons were playing strange games with the camera


a view of the peak on the left side of panch chuli


panch chuli - yudhishtir peak

pretty soon, i finished my prasad - 3 pooris, some saag (vegetables) and sweets.

drove down to munsyari, which is around 10-11 kms from the temple. it was totally dark. stayed in the trc (tourist rest centre) of kmvn (kumaon mandal vikas nigam).
ganga ram had come to meet me. he said that he will arrange everything for tomorrow. had a light dinner. then it was zzzzzz .. snoreee for the night. i was sooooooo tired after travelling non stop. but in 26 hrs i had reached munsyari from madras (chennai).

just closed my eyes and zonked off.


next morning, i got up at around 7 am. had slept straight through without blinking an eyelid. opened the window and looked outside. this was the view that greeted me.


these peaks represent (l to r) - yudhishtir, bhim, arjun and nakul

the sun rises from behind these peaks. also, behind these peaks lies darma valley.

another pic of panch chuli.


the kmvn trc where i had spent the night.
my room was on the ground floor. so u can jump out of the window and land in the garden.


in the distance u can see the burphu peaks. the gorge below is that of the gori ganga river. last year i had gone on this route to milam village. earlier, it was a major trading village with tibet and had 500 families. now just a few ruins and an itbp camp. hopefully, the trade will be restarted in a few years. then the prosperous days will return again.


dew drop.
