Who Missed It………..

This trip was a proof to say, we can do it to the best even with out a proper plan since our only motto is to enjoy the life at its best……..simple and straight….
It started with lots of confusion regarding whoz going to join the trip and stuff but ultimately hats of to Sri… My self and sri decided to go out for the weekend irrespective of whoz joining us.
We decided about the team around 9.00pm on 15/7/2005 for a trip to masoori.. but within 15 mins the plan was changed to almora… since another team was heading towards almora…so we decided to join them and make it memorable…

Our team this time consisted of very talented and enthusiastic people all around so everything till the end was fun…it included Hari Krishna ( Photographer…), Soni (…..Yoooo maaaaaaan….), Sambhav (Shambu…my roomi…), Sandeep..(Trying to come out of the villan sphere…), Srivatsa (Sri……) …his wife Suman (summi…..as sri calls…..),…..Shilpi…(One Cartoon…..a small kid in the team….) and myself..Poorna Prajna…

Nothing went as per plan the cab which was suppose to come at 9.30 came at around 12.30am what a loss for people like us…who belive time is money…. hahaha…also to add to the pain we got one of the worst driver I think he had a bad at office one day before our trip he never crossed 60kmph even in the best of the roads available in India which hit back our plans very badly….

At last we started at around 12.30 making lots of noises…. We saw our first obstacle at around 6am when the other team called us and told that their car has broken down and they have halted their proceeding.. We caught them at the 79km stop where in they were resting in a dhaba…this team included Anil Chand, Rakesh (DJ Raka), Rajessssssssssssh, Kiran (The culprit…..) , They just had overlooked a speed breaker and hence had a dent in their oil tank because of which engine had seized.. We gave a big break for our driver and even had enough time on car so we took a break freshened up ourselves and then had good breakfast… then we got the mechanic to fix their car and then we decided to make a move thinking they would join us at the top for the party….unfortunately they could not make it…….

We stopped at a small stream for a small photo session also to enjoy the water….it was a cool place had some fun….over here..

We reached almora around 3 we got a good hotel to stay where in, took some rest and freshened up….after which we made an enquiry for the places around where in we can enjoy…we narrowed down on to Binsar a wonderful place….
We planned for a camp fire but since it started raining…we had an alternative we went to the hotel canteen…. Removed all the tables and chairs which was nicely arranged and made ourselves comfortable for the dance floor….

A special mention has to be made to Sri and Shipi …….. Sri entertained everyone with the typical steps of fun and enjoyment…..to the best…. Also Shilpi ….wow what a dancer she is….she dances really well no one could even match her ……..hmmmm myself, sambav, sandeep, soni and suman all danced to their steps…..

Day 2 we started to Binsar after a wonderful breakfast….filled our thirst with lots of paratas……really good ones……….
On the way to Binsar we stopped the cab for a small trek at a wonderful place….amazing place with lots of trees and coooool breeze to add to the pleasure and fun we had….lots of fun seeing people slip while climbing the mountains….

The road to binsar was amazing……very narrow and wonderful sight of greenery all the way….We reached binsar around 11am it was raining heavily.. so we took some rest and had some tea at which the rain stopped…. The plan was to have a small treck inside the deep woods to a place where in there is watching tower to watch the snow capped mountains…

We got a wonderful company all the way through …..julie ….Sandeep’s run time girl friend…. Who resisted every one for not calling her Julie……. What an impact it made on our sandeep in such a small time….

This route was really amazing…….to be frank it was the perfect picture of a dense forest……. dark….filled with greenery…tremendous silence…no sound other then our team….it was a bit scary….. to add to this we heard something jumping from a tree we were lucky that we did not see anything out there but every one were assured something just jumped past….. this will definitely remain in memory for some time …… as we walked for almost more than an hour… after which we could hear from others lets turn back since we did not even know where we were heading towards….also the memories of the movie kaal was fresh in everyone’s memory hahaha….. At this point we were lucky enough to find the tower at a certain distance every one jumped in joy after seeing the tower as it was the ray of hope for out trek…..

Climbing the tower was really very scary and also had lots of fun …. As It did not look strong enough to hold everyone climbing was not easy….however everyone made to the top of the tower from where we could get a spectacular view of the whole valley unfortunately we were unable to see the snow capped mountains from here as it was filled with fog……
It was here that I made a mistake to tell my experience to Sri…in my local language forgetting that even Sri’s wife was around and I became centre of laughter for sometime………
It started raining heavily over here and then we decided to move ahead with the rain it self …..so by the time we came back to the starting point everyone were drenched in water….

It was wonderful experience inside the deep jungle…..after coming back to the hotel we got to hear that….the place is home for lots of leopards and wild bores and we were lucky not to find one….hahaha… here everyone left open their wild imaginations of the sound we heard in the jungle….. good that everything ended well… without any issues…
On the way back we stopped at a small water stream to have some fun in the water…. Also we had a great photo session over here…. It was really coooool place with a big land slide from a few meters away from where we stopped….

From here we started heading back to home….our driver added to the worries driving slowly at his own pace and dropping back home at around 5am in the morning…… We all were very happy that our driver dropped us back home safely as we could see him close his eyes every now and then while driving…….. he definitely added lots of thrill to our journey….
But what a trip….. we were able to see the nature from a close distance have the thrill at its best……… wonderful experience…… was just dreaming like what if a leopard had made an appearance in the forest……….hahahaha…..
At last… for the amount of risk we took everything ended well hahahaha…..
