This trek was so mesmerising that we cant help clicking pictures...and end up capturing 500 odd snaps...most of them are invariably orkuttable...lol... I am putting the Chopta, Tungnath and Chandrashila trek in a different post..

Deoriatal (2438m) is a trek of 2kms from Sari village...This lake has captivating surroundings with forest all around... The reflection of the mighty Himalayan peaks in the lake creates a beautiful effect...

...train was little late...so had morning tea on train itself...

...oh...i forgot to tell that we are going in a group of 4...here come two...Manabesh and Arnab(from left)... from Haridwar took an auto to Rishikesh...few on route snaps...

Anrab was very much excited...afterall it is his first trek...

let me present...the master mind behind the trek...Shibatosh (Shibu-da)..

8:30 am...reached Rishikesh and occupied 4 seats of a shared taxi...and left for Rudraprayag...(un?)fotunately one luggage fall down, allowing to capture this pic...

just before reaching Devprayag we had our breakfast...with aloo parantha...

By 1.15 we were at Rudraprayag...where our driver Jagadish Negi was waiting for us with his Sumo...we r already running behind schedule...without wasting anytime we left for Sari...

No doubt..Border Road Organization is doing a great job....
