At around 7 pm we lugged our haversacks, climbed into cycle rickshaws and made our way to the metro station at Dwarka. This time there were no trolleys and we hefted the sacks onto our shoulders.

So there was no need to carry any cooking utensils, gas stoves, etc. Between the 11 of us, we carried the following foodstuff. 2 Peanut and jaggery.

Adi Kailash and Om Parbat. 09) 30 July 2007 – Dharchula to Gala. December 4, 2007 at 1:38 pm Posted in Adi Kailash. The 45-km road from Dharchula to Mangti is made of narrow roads twisting and turning tortuously. The drop into fierce Kali is always just 2-3 feet away. Everywhere you look, the green peaks of the Himalayas are hypnotizing in their tall glory. By then the skies had cleared and everything was drenched in a pale watery sunshine. And mango pickle. After lunch we sat on the parapet outside ...

Adi Kailash and Om Parbat. 07) 29 July 2007 – Kathgodam to Dharchula. November 27, 2007 at 5:51 pm Posted in Adi Kailash. As we made our way outside the Kathgodam station, we found our guide. Waiting for us with 2 jeeps ready to go. There were introductions made, our sacks were tied onto the overhead carrier, covered with tarpaulin because it often rains in the mountains and we pushed off on the 285 km long road from Kathgodam to Dharchula.
