Experiencing Kumaon Himalaya 7: Amazing trek to Dhwaj Mandir

✪  Enchanting trail to Dhwaj Mandir
✪  Sea of fog and mountain range
✪  Descending from a new trail
✪  Dialogue with the villagers
✪  Last night of sky watching in Satgarh
✪  Time to bid adieu to the mountains

10th December! Satgarh! Truly a dream village. Dawn sky is also excellent like the night sky! Ursa Major constellation has arisen and in fact it is tilted towards West now! Today, the last day at Satgarh! Aditya- my nephew will accompany me for trek to Dhwaj Mandir after he returns from the school. In the morning also I felt to take a walk. Here anywhere you go, it is beautiful trekking only. I started to descend and took the trail towards the road. Peaceful village, greenery, descending trail, highway in the distance and mountain ranges! Wow! I reached the road and took left turn towards Pithauragarh.
