(The Himalayas. Canon 1500D. f/10. ISO 400)   Day 1 - River Rafting Just wow! Never had I imagined that I would be traveling to Uttarakhand anytime soon. But we did go! And it was mesmerizing. 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
