The Arrival

Day 1,Dec 19 2008
This was the day we arrived via doon express to dehradun.The base for the trek.It was early in the morning.soon enough we were covered by autowalas.Soon we found a decent hotel to dump our bags.still it was 6am and since no shops would be oipened by then ,we decided to doze off.I never slept ,but laid in bed thinking about my himalayan trek.this was first of many to come perhaps.We started for moti bazaar around 9 am after after having parattas. we bought quite a lot.vegetables (quite cheap there),oil,potatoes,peas,rice,dal,stove,even ghee.we also enquired abiout terekking goods in many shops .notable is paramount.the guy boasts too much.let him talk you wil know.we got three down jackets from him.had no option.we also enquired about the bus from dehradoon to sankri the base.there are two buses that leaves d'doon for sankri.one at 5:30 going in roundaboutway to sankri.traveltime 12 hrs.another leaves at 6 00 am from main bus stand to sankri via mussorie.this is the short route.we took the 5:30 one thinking we would reach early.

info:
