Day 5 ( 16th August, 2006 ) : Kurmotolli Bugyal to Lohajung

This is the shephard hut where we stayed for the night after our hut was washed out in previous night. There were 5 of us who stayed put for the night.



Our savour for the night, the shephard with the Bhotiya dog ( sheep gaurding dog)



Last of the pics before the views of trishul got lost in clouds.




The route down to Bedni with the sunrising above us was too beautiful. Seen are the lower hills across bedni which extend upto Kausani !!



View of Nandaghunti from top of Bedni bugyal



I am almost near Bedni (which can be seen far below)when the clouds again started closing in.

We reached Bedni by 9 am and had Tea and breakfast at the only dhaba which was still open.


This is the boy from Wan villege who gave us interesting company while coming down from Bedni bugyal.


This is the route back to Wan from bugyal. Can you see the route which had washed away due to the continuous rains !!!



I am trying to quench my thirst near Wan after the tough day of trek from Pathanachoni !!


This is Niitn at the end of the trek at Wan. Thank god we have completed the trek !!



This is pic of Nandaghunti from rest house at Lohajung. This was to be our parting shots of the himalayas as we were leaving in morning with a promise to come again and again !!!



The bus that took us back to civilisation ! This is the daily bus service which connects Lohajung with Hardwar (leaves at 4.30 in morning). The road near Mundoli was broken due to which we had to come down to Mundoli to catch the bus for Karnprayag as Hardwar bus cud not make it to Mundoli also.
