"If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere"
Travelling is one of the best things you can get addicted to, so here it comes once again. A trek to an all new, unexplored and less exploited place.
Tucked away in the middle of a vast stretch of forest, Mundali meadow is “Shangri la” of Uttarakhand region.The never ending meadow of Mundali offers a panoramic view of snow clad Himalayan ranges. Mundali’s relative inaccessibility adds to the charm of the place. For most of the year Mundali can only be accessed through a trek (This particular trek is part of curriculum for Indian Forest Services.), though for a small period it can also be reached by a kaccha Jeep road.
