ambling to taluka







Day 3 : dec 21 ,2008
As the title suggests ,we ambled to taluka today.we got up nice and early at 7 but got ready around 9.we met our porters had our breakfast.started around 9:30 slowly we made our way through vistas of beutiful unknown trees.we could hear chirping of birds .the ground though rocky , was a jeepable track.i would have walked hardly a kilometer, my bag started pulling me.now i realised the gravity of the situation.i am going to trek to har ki dun at 3566 m and i was kind of feeling tired.sign i had overpacked.not good. slowly we made our way to taluka.One blunder we did throughout the trek was not to pack lunch.so we had to starve and trek .Not even biscuits.i had bought some amount of dry fruits and mixed tang in waterbottle.we saw jeeps plying between seema and taluka and i readily voted for taking them.in the rickety ride,i was contemplating how the hell am i going to finish the trek .salt to injury the guide showed me a towering peak and said that's where we are going to go.for the first time it looked ominous.we reached taluka around noon.got into guest house and went for photography session of the tons rivers.the children were disciplined and ready to pose with thier cute smile.the day ended witha good dinner prepared by our porters.there is dhaba at taluka also and it was functional.
