There is no denying that trekking is one of the best things to do on a friends trip to McLeodganj. The whole experience was super thrilling and rejuvenating. We also spotted a few animals around on our way to the top.

It took some three to four hours to reach at the top of the mountain from where the world looked like a tiny beautiful ball. It felt like we were in heaven, and away from the ordinary world we knew. Standing on a mountain cliff, which was at a height of 3000 feet was no less than a victory for me.

On the third day, we woke up to a blanket of fog, which was spread all around us and we could barely see anything. Without wasting any more time, all of us decided to come down back to the hotel. After freshening up and having a hearty lunch, we boarded the bus back to Delhi.
