Day-1
After visiting so many places in Himalaya, it was very difficult for me to choose my next trip destination but due to this Cobid-19, there was no place to go on planes other than the Himalaya. Therefor Munsiyari was the perfect place to go as i been there in that area very long time ago but not exactly the Munsiyari.
Journey was started much before this day in my mind but the actual journey was started on 2nd Nov 2020 at about 5 am from delhi. The place is situated amid the beautiful Himalayas and about 600 Km from Delhi. So i took the first day halt in Bageshwar, a very beautiful place to stay and a very beautiful Shiv Temple to visit i.e., Bagnath Temple flowing two rivers of both side of the temple. only few people know about this temple and one will get to know diff diff stopy from the locals here.
Day-2
Next day after having breakfast and dharshan, i started to Munsiyari at about 12:30 pm, 125 km, long way was to drive from here. Whole way to Munsiyari was so beautiful from here that one can not stop to see it outside the window.
After driving almost 6 hours we reached Munsiyari at about 6:30 pm, it was dark we couldn't see anything except the snow clapped mountain shining in the full moon light. The view was so amazing that it cannot be explained in words. first we were supposed to stay in a camp, but because of the whole day driving, body was so exhausted that changed our mind and we took a room 6 km before the main town of Munsiyari. The place was Milan Inn, rooms was just okay but the view was ultimate. i would say best place to stay, one can sit whole day in the lawn area mesmerising the snow capped Himalaya. one can view a perfect sunrise and moon rise from here. We were so luck that 3rd of Oct was full moon day and nothing could be better than watching full moon rise from the Himalaya.
Day 4
i was ready for the trek as i had already did so many treks before, But i couldn't resist myself from doing this trek. so after having breakfast we started for this beautiful trek at 11 am. Trek was not easy and one should make up his or her mind before doing it. This just 6 km trek would take minimum 3 to 4 hours or more, depending on your speed. trek starts from balati bend,one can get the camping equipments from here at a very cheap price, 300 to 400 bucks. we did a mistake not taking a camp from as we were under impression that one can get a camp or a place to stay easily at khalia top. there is always a price for mistake, it cost us 1200 for the camp including three sleeping bags after bargaining and if you are good at it, it could cost you a little cheaper. after trekking 4-5 km, there is last and the only one restaurant and guest house. one should take camp and packed food from here if one wish to stay at the top, as no edible iteam would be available at the top of khalia top. we had to stay at the top so we packed our food and camp from here. from here one should ready for the steep walk for one km and then meadow field starts whih goes to the next 2-3 kms.
VIEW AFTER TREKING 4-5 KM
third day we did nothing, just watching this beautiful Himalaya from the lawn area and did yoga
Though one can not see stars properly in this pic due to the poor camara quality, but it was full of starts, no place was there to put ones fingues. looks like a whole planet can be seen from the earth 🌍 .
while we were sleeping at night, at about 1:30 am one fox touched his mouth on my hand that awoke me and we sat in our tent, anticipating there might be attack of animals as there was no tent close to our tent. although this is quite normal they come at night and go.
DAY 6
after watching most beautiful sunrise and spending few hours at the top in morning, we started coming back to down as we had to start same day for the delhi. day 6 we stayed at bageshwar and next day we drove to Delhi.
