Day 1

Happy New Year friends! It's almost 6am in the morning and I am here with my friend to drop my fiancee.
Last night my friend called me and asked me to keep some warm clothes as we have to go for some hill station for quick trip and I was thinking.....we'll go to Himachal or may be Mussoorrie.

Oh God.....just now we started our journey.....but what...my Friend asked me to search Munsiyari rout in Google map......OMG m totally shocked.........it's really too far from Delhi....we can't reach in one stretch....we have to take a hold somewhere.................!

I am still making up my mind........looking at the distance again and  again in Google map..... finally I have decided to go ahead!

We stopped Shiva Dhaba for breakfast which is approximately 90 km from Delhi...... journey continues..........

It's almost 1pm we are approximately 30km ahead from Nainital towards Almora......we stopped again for lunch....
Menu: Dal fry, Mix veg, chicken and rice
Cost:........?

Only 140 rs/ only for two people.....we are amazed.

Now we are heading towards the Almora........Berinag......Choukori....Thal...... finally..........

It's almost 9:30 we have crossed Thal......... everything is dark and closed as people in Pahad sleeps early at night.

We are heading upward now......it was really tough.....we stuck at one place....oh God finally we came out of situation again heading upward.

Munsiyari is almost 8Km away........wow wow started snow fall...we have to reach as quick as possible.....we have to find the hotel as well.

It's 11pm finally we found one hotel: Hotel MJ inn......Hotel people are not believing us that we reached in one stretch from Delhi.....they are asking where did you stop in between......

Next day 2nd Jan: Munsiyari local site visit
3rd Jan: Back to some other place...not sure where????
