Road less traveled
in Sattal
Trek in the Forest
Unmistakably
Sattal offers
things which you
can't imagine,
and the way to
explore is to go
local.
Region around the lake is surrounded
by dense forest, and one can explore
the forest trails by paying a fee of Rs.10
per person. The opportunity in hand
was hard to leave, and we decided to
walk on the road less traveled.
The idea to take such a trail seemed
boring for the first 5 min and we
thought it was just another of those
tourist spots. But our thoughts were
marked incorrect by the mother nature
and we were gazing at the pristine view
with-in no time.
The jungle trail is everything from
usual walk to amateur trek to steep
climbs; the fresh cool air of the dense
forest keeps you energized while you
seek path to go deeper in the jungle.
Boating in the Sattal Lake
When you are at the lake side, boating
becomes one of the mandatory
activities to do. And with so many food
options how can one not visit the place
and take a dip.
The stairs to the lake is flooded with
food stalls with variety of options to
choose; and interestingly it was more
fun for me as I was visiting the place
after five long years, thus was able to
remark on how the place has
changed.
Mahadev temple
in Mukteshwar is
probably the
highest spot of
Mukteshwar
from where you
get the view of
the entire city
scape.
Doing the Obvious
When you are traveling with the ladies,
you can't skip the obvious and mall
road in Bhimtal offers some good
options; en route when traveling back
to the retreat.
The view of beautifully decorated
aquarium in Bhimtal lake called for a
change in plan and we accommodated
it by spending the evening by the lake
side with the company of some
steaming hot Momos & Maggie.
