The bird-watching:
Next day I was up early for my jog and for the sunrise. We had plans for some bird
watching along with another group who was there for the same purpose. We looked
for the state bird (Monal) for quite a time but as it often happens with the royalty we
were not able to get a glimpse of it. Himalayan Vultures did bestow us with their
presence. The rest of the day were spent Bird-watching with the group, wandering
and checking out local delicacies.
Uphill Task:
The day after, we decided to trek. The thumb rule is no visit to any hill station is
complete without a hike. We trekked to the renowned Khaliya Top. It was an 8 km
trek. Initially it went through dense woods. The vibrant flora and fauna of the woods
was breathtaking. Every time I took a glance at the Panchachuli I couldn't help but
exclaim, Is this for real?. After 6kms of uphill trek, we finally reached the
Bugyal( Meadows). This was a new world, This was Narnia. We had our lunch at
about 2 P.M. Caught up in a trance, we kicked ourselves for not bringing the tents
along and slowly dragged our heels back. I was all for taking a shortcut in the way
down, but my wise friend resisted. We went down leisurely. No one comes back sad
from a trek, try it. We went to sleep seconds after we fell into the bed.
