Mussoorie 2 - The Trek

On our second week end Thomasso, Adam, Lauren and 2x Anna decided to go on a trek to Nagtipah - snake mountain. Brave and adventurous as we are we decided against taking a guide and got lost after 30 minutes. Who would know that what looked like a riverbed was actually the path that led straight up to the top? We took the hard way, through the forest and across stony terrain but eventually found a nice place to camp at. Here some impressions.

The valley we passed by jeep on the way to the mountain.
Adam, sunbathing. Thomasso, carrying one of the tents.
... and then it got steep. But a great view from up there!
We found a deserted rice field where we put up our tents. These guys had some fields further up, but slept in a hut down the hill. We had a nice conversation in Hinglish and they helped us to find wood and lit the fire with one (!) match.
The next morning. I think we all felt much dirtier than we look like.
Devalsari, the village on the foot of the mountain where we took a jeep back to Mussoorie.
Aaaaand I got another chance to sit on the rooftop. Great experience, good pictures!
