A cool night breeze
in time of summer setting in, a bunch of friends armed with poison and lots to
eat, we set the sail towards Panch-gaani hillocks this time.
After a short
drive of about 1.5 hrs, we reached the scheduled place. After parking the car
to a safe place, we trekked our way down on a hillock, commonly known as table
top, where we were able to locate a flat surface contour on which we could
erect our mini-camp.
The climate was
a little humid and mostly cold with chilling winds, After a through round of
talks and praise for Mother Nature over a couple of pegs, we called off for the
day and slept at around 3 in the morning.
Next morning I
woke up to one of the best mornings I have ever seen. We could see the Sun
ray’s projection over the edges of hillocks and vast vegetation surrounding
thousands of acres of sprawling greenery. The very first thing I did was to
quickly get back in the camp, grab the Cannon EOS of our leader for this
expedition and shot some snaps.
By the time our
photo ops were over, the sun was in its full glory and we quickly folded our
tent and wrapped up our belongings. Like a true nature lovers we made sure that
we left nothing but footprints while we left that scenic place.
