Traveling was totally stopped after earthquake,,,the work
pressure and all other reasons,, , but today with my office colleagues we
planned to visit charikot view tower, deurali-a junction and bhoot pokhari –
ghost pond. It was 12 am in the morning
that we set our journey from charikot. We took some chicken curry, rice and
pickle from home and we bought some chips and coke from the shop.
The view tower was up hill and it was a bit hard while
walking up the hill,,,, the guide was the daughter of our colleague,, on the
way to charikot view tower, there was a beautiful place where we took a lot of
pictures,, after resting for a while we left for the view tower,, we had to
pass a small jungle,,
The view tower was located on the top of hill which is in
construction phase,,, the tower is 6 storey building,, I felt dizzy while
climbing the tower,, and I am afraid of heights ,,,we took some pictures there
and we went to a suitable place for our lunch,,,,there were cracks on the hill
due to earthquake,,,the lunch was delicious and the weather was too cold.
As soon as we finished our lunch we got down through the
different path,,, following a deep dense forest,, on the way I found some
edible lichens,,,I plucked and collected with the help of my colleagues,,,I
collected a bag full of lichens,,It will
be a gift to my mother and she will be happy as these edible lichen is
indigenous knowledge and which is not available in the market,, The lichens are
tasty with the pork meat,,,
We went to Deurali – a famous junction where we bought the
‘Chauri Churpi’ which is local and tasty. There was a gumba where we took some
pictures,, we drank milk tea there and move towards the Bhoot Pokhari- Ghost
pond.
The ghost pond is named as ghost pond because it looks
black. It is a beautiful place like a shooting location,,, we took lot’s and
lots of pictures ,, The battery of my camera showed low and it was getting dark
so we returned to Charikot before it got dark,,, The day ended with beautiful
memory, healthy mind and healthy body,,
