The second and third days. It was just traveling that day. We had to climb to Tungnath peak the next day. So, we had to go and spend the night in a city closer to the mountain. There are camps and tents in places very close to the mountain but they are very pricey. And moreover, the demand was huge due to the holidays. So, we stayed in a lodge in Ukhimath. From Rishikesh, it took us almost 9 hours. And I got some good pics on the way. (River Mandakini. Canon 1500D. f/10. 1/400 s) (Somewhere near Rudraprayag.

We left Bangalore the previous night to Delhi. Traveling in flight at night was kinda fun. All the patches of light. The lights of civilization. The footprint we have left on this planet we call ours. Anyway, we reached Delhi at around midnight. We had booked a tempo traveller from Delhi for 4 days. We left Delhi right away to Rishikesh. The journey to Rishikesh from Delhi was a hell-ride. The road construction has been going on on the National Highway, and there was fog everywhere. Especially after 4 in the morning, the fog was so dense that the visibility was just 5 meters. We stopped at 5 near some dhaba, then left at 6.30. This delayed our river rafting. There was traffic all along the way. We reached Rishikesh at 10.30. From there we still had to travel for 35 km to reach the starting point
