I really liked the way you have thanked the kitchen and housekeeping staffs. Wish I was there too.<br />Thanks and regards<br />Pankaj khandelwalAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13891410674715299320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646030733795701511.post-44326989153859812832016-03-28T19:52:52.301+05:302016-03-28T19:52:52.301+05:30Bigya, you yourself write so well, I started imagi...Bigya, you yourself write so well, I started imagining if I was taking this journey in bumpy rides and having a dip in the river to catch the himalayan trout. Please share more of your such experiences and journeys.

Thankfully there was no roads constructed for the vehicles then.The panoramic views of mustard fields, such rich yellow with greenery and the freshness of the air,everything with utmost purity..., i could never enjoy these living in cities.Crossing through the river would be another big task, the exciting of all. Yet, when me and my brother would slip, my dad would crack a joke " macha maryo!!" i.e. " catching a fish" and we all would laugh about it and walk ahead. <br /><br />Thankyou sir, for sharing such a beautiful account of your trekking. It reminded me of my childhood memories with my parents, when we would frequently travel and trek because there were no roads constructed then. As time passed, me and my brother got caught with the usual life-jobs( i know it is nothing compared to yours) and i entirely missed joining my family for such treks. But I will make sure i make one happen when i return home this time.Looking forward to reading more of your accounts, Bigya ShahBigya Shahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06676609539418166902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646030733795701511.post-50038689738485021672016-03-23T18:36:38.389+05:302016-03-23T18:36:38.389+05:30Malini, I had very much wanted to this trek with y...Malini, I had very much wanted to this trek with you and Shariff. We had a great team during Roopkund trek. Let us create another opportunity to trek together some day.

It brought back the memories of mine and Shariff's trek to Kedarkantha in Dec 2014.I can't forget the Christmas cake that was baked by out kitchen staff right from scratch at Juda ka talab camp. Another first for us was use of gaiters and microspikes. I am sure you must have also used them during the final climb to the peak.

It almost transports you to the location and you can feel the excitement and anxiety of the trekker sitting in your house.It is wonderful to venture out with someone from the family in this case your son and return with a whole set of friends who would be henceforth like family. Kudos to your abundant spirit Dr.Khabdelwal. Keep up the great work. You are an inspiration to many.Poonam Kirpalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09971966804570748389noreply@blogger.com
