Camp Himalayan........... to the Great Himalayan National Park

I cannot believe it.............

We are going to go to the Great Himalayan National Park today and were all set to leave at 8:00 am with packed lunch and all. Gopi bhaiya and Hemraj bhaiya the caretakers of Camp Himalayan came with us. We went till Gushaini in the bus as then the road became too narrow for a bus to go.

We hired a Sumo which went for another 2 kms of motorable road. We then began our trek

to the gate of the Great Himalayan National Park which we thought ( by mistake) was close but actually it turned out to be a long uphill 7 kms walk. The walk was really beautiful through the forests & next to the Thirtan river. But it was exhausting. But when we reached it was really wonderful, as we had lunch on a rock perched in the Thirthan River. It was one of the most beautiful spots one can ever imagine.............................

There was a huge pool and a big waterfall with a water spray cooling us each time there was a breeze. We finished lunch and went on through the gate of the Great Himalayan National Park just 10 meters in and came back out as we had a long way to get back. We saw a lot of birds on the trek- Barbets, Bulbuls, Flycatchers and some Raptors.

On the way back we stopped at a Rainbow Trout fish farm, it was cool and some of the trouts were huge. We reached back at camp at 6pm and had a bonfire with soup and a yummy dinner.

I had a bath and finally sleep......................
