High Mountain

Many of you had heard about Nainital, most of you for sure had visited the Place too but i bet you have been never been to this place called“Gerikhet”. No doubt Nainital, the city of lakes , attracts the sight-seekers round the years but i can say most of you had never visited this wonderful place. I heard of this place from one of my cousin so i plan to visit the place. Well the place didn’t get the recognition till date but nowadays is very popular among the backpackers.So i too decided to visit the picturesque view of this place and i swear i got totally mesmerize with beauty of the place.

travel trekking nainital

My cousin and i started our trek from Nainital polytechnic college(11:00). He told me that the trek is of one hour and half hour only(5 km ).We park our car at polytechnic itself, took our bags and camps and started our journey. we estimated we would reach there by noon but to my surprise i got so many sceneric views that i  reached  there by 15:00.Apart from the views the magical mood of nature is also very excited. Sometime the bright sun lighten our path, sometimes we feel like we are walking across the white clouds, sometimes it seems to be a rainy day.(fortunate we are, as no rain restrict was there. )

The cool breeze touches our cheeks and a amazing feeling of pureness of wind is felt by us. seriously i got totally refresh, and waits for the sunset.

Game of Clouds Gerikhet

we had decided to do camping in the field called “Lambokhare” by the locals, but she told us we can do that some other time as her parents wouldn’t allow three girls :(. but the delicious food made by her mother totally changed our mood. we went for sleep after playing some games of cards.
