The beautiful Dauladhar mountain range was just in front of us. It cannot be explained what beauty was infront of us and unpredictable weather change every 15 minutes was adding more beauty to the viw when we reached it was sunny then it started raining then snowing and after sky got cleared all this happened in just two hours.. yes in only 2 hours. We climbed down the hill in just 3 hours we got exhausted but what we saw was incredible.
