Day 4

I got up  early in the morning around 7, it was still cold🥶🥶 but I put on some layers and headed towards kookal village

It's a 2km walk to village from the stay
The sun arose and it was a beautiful view of the lake.
After sightseeing of kookal, came back to homestay

Then I met the caretakers of kookal paradise and I came to know that, they have 15+ dogs in their homestay and most of them are rescued and adopted

I made some great fur friends and the caretakers are friendly.
