TRAVEL REPORT Bong Nomadic Exploring the Uncharted-Sattal Travel Diary 28 Jun 2019 A short trip to a usually famous destination is not the itinerary of my preference. Breaking the ritual, we planned to travel to one such known tourist place this time. Sattal, being one of the well known tourist places in Nanital region; people from nearby cities rush here in summers to avoid the scorching heat waves and relax by the beautiful lake side.The serenity of the hills let you unwind and forget the chaotic city life. While a tourist would have been happy with the offering, the traveler in me was eager to find something different. Something with which I can connect and become one with the nature. Unmistakably Sattal offers things which you can't imagine, and the way to explore is to go local. Stay at Sattal-Ditch the Hotel for a Hill Retreat Sattal Retreat The retreat is situated at a hill top and offers mesmerizing views of the Sattal lake. The retreat is at about 5 min walk from the parking spot in the valley. For trek lovers, your may decide to walk up or down from the lake directly. Though, you should check-in and freshen up first before heading for the trekking expeditions. 58 www.yogicherald.com Jan. 2020
