Whoaaa Uttrakhand

Tripoto
24th Nov 2014
It finally happened!  After a whole lot of yes / no,  when /where,  not nows,  5 of us finally landed up meeting at Delhi airport at different times. Some flew in from Bombay and 2 of us from Pune after attending the nh7 music festival.  We lugged our way to the fabulous Nainital!  
 
I had some vague memories of the place as I had been there as a child.  Didn't like it too much then.  It was just tooo overcrowded.  Tooo commercial not that it wasn't the same this time but something was different.  Maybe we just learnt how to look at things differently. Maybe we learnt how to travel and not stay as tourists.  
 
These are some pictures from my walk around nainital and our day trip to Mukteshwar!  Will be posting our Trek and campsite photos in another blog,  soon!  
 
Happy travels!!! 

Stunning mukteshwar!

On the way from nainital to mukteshwar, we got super hungry. Stopped our car at a dhaba which wasn't even opened and asked the owner if we could make our own breakfast. He was delighted. We made chai and anda bread! What an amazing experience
