At Camp Himalayan.......... by Ankit

This is what my friend Ankit had to write about our trip

My review :By Ankit
Day 1
On the first day, mom, dad and I came down from our apartment to the bus at around eight o'clock. It was a night journey.
We were delayed reaching the camp by about 4 hours because of the driver who was driving like a snail. When we got there then we met Sumit uncle and we told him about the journey. We had lovely apple juice.

After we talked for a few minutes we went to our rooms. After freshening up I went to Kabeer's room and we played name-place-action. Then Kabeer and I took pictures of a few birds. I didn't get any but Kabeer got quite a few. There was a yellow billed blue magpie who made us chase it above the camp and then below and then above again.

Later all of us went for a walk to see the temple and the sunset. I got nice pics of the sunset. Then we came back, had dinner and slept.
Day 2
The next day we went to the national park. Well not exactly the national park we only managed to reach the entrance ! We started by the bus and from a point got off and got on to jeeps and after a point again got off and started to walk. It was quite a long trek but it was fun. We went down to a river bank near the entrance to the national park and ate lunch. There was a very nice waterfall over there. And we came back to the camp freshened and then had dinner and slept.
Day 3
The next day we went for "river walking" near Sumit uncle's house. We left by bus and then we got of a little before his house and start walking along the river the river. It was tough but fun. There were many big and slippery stones so my pants tore. It tore very badly. When we got to Sumit uncle's house to my relief my mother had got an extra pair of pants. After spending fifteen minutes in Sumit uncle's house we started walking along the river again. There it was even tougher and I fell quite a few times so I was totally wet. Then we came back to a place where Gopi bhaiya had got us lunch. After lunch our parents went to Bahu to see the sunset.
We went to the camp. We waited till our parents came back and when they came back we had dinner and slept.
Day 4
We went to Jalori Pass. We went by bus and then we got off at a place and started walking. When we got there we saw a very beautiful view from there. It was great fun. After seeing the fort we came down half way and ate lunch that Hem Raj bhaiya had got. When we got down we ate Maggi at a dhaba. Then we got back freshened up had dinner and slept.
Day 5 (THE FINAL DAY)
On the last day we had breakfast and left for home. We had lunch in Highway Treat instead of having at Highway Restaurant where we were supposed to have lunch. We had dinner at Nik Bakers in Chandigarh. We had trouble finding it. After that we got on to the bus and it was night so half of us slept. In the end we reached home 6 hours late.
