Day 23: Gala To Dharchula
If you remember when WE started Our trek from Dharchula, WE had stopped at Sirkha for the night and then proceeded to Gala. But now WE decided not to stop at Sirkha but proceed forward straight to Dharchula. This way WE could have reached Delhi a day early.
Starting Our Trek. Today will be the last day of walking for US.
Passing villages and curious onlookers
At Sirkha, yatries had there lunch and this was the last bit of climb that WE had to do. On the other side was all downhill from where WE would be transferred to Dharchula in jeeps
The point where yatris have to bid good bye's to their pony and pony men and have to traverse the rest of the distance by foot or with help of the porters.
But it was not that far. The cluster of houses seen at the end of the mountain is where the road starts. Jeeps would be waiting for US there.
Jeeps in sight
Aesthetically kept houses
Finally in the jeeps. Lots of waterfalls due to the incessant rains
Also due to rain and landslide the road to Dharchula was blocked. So WE had to cross this landslide on foot and take other set of jeeps waiting on the other side
WE reached our hotel in Dharchula by 1600 hrs. At Dharchula there is a bridge that connects India to Nepal. The bridge closes at 1800 hrs so WE just had enough time to cross the bridge over to Nepal. Just roam there and came back to India to enjoy our own Chaat and Tikki's.
By the evening WE were back in our hotels as it had started to rain heavily. Our luggage had yet not arrived and our luggage would determine if WE leave tomorrow or not. Finally luggage came 10:00 in night and WE opened and packed and re packed Our luggage all over again.
WE only slept for a few hours as tomorrows journey from Dharchula to Jageshwar would be a long one, so WE had to start early.
End Of Day 23
