D October Trip to Mukteshwar!!!


6-8 October 2007 was another chance for me to relish the beauty of nature at Mukteshwar, a hill station @ Uttraranchal where i travelled with the Kinapse team ...

Began with cursing n cribbing the long, tiresome journey (phhewww it was a 11hr drive)... And then we arrived @ dis resort - Trishul Orchard Farm... We chose our tents, freshened up and were all geared up for the excitement...

To start off with we trekked down a slopy path near a waterfall and were supposed to do river-crossing... Camera and video cams jetted out to catch every one in action... and there were the enthu pots climbing up again n again to get the belts around them and hang down to cross the river... Dats me down there :)


We returned for lunch and then rush off again for some rappelling and rock climbing.... man wat an experience it was... the fantastic 4 (Ashwin, Rohit, Dubey and Ashwani) need a spl mention as they made us rotfl... ashwani's face white with fear, dubey and his antics r a couple of incidents that are being quoted over n over again @ office even now :)

Followed by a bonfire that night we got up pretty early the next day (though v missed d late night session @ Rohits's tent)... Sunil and myself went on walk till the cabbage fields... Have no clue why i got so excited by the cabbage and pumpkins out there :) Dats me and Ashwin nibbling at a cabbage leaf!

Teams Vodka and Tequila (lead by me and Neha) were then on their next tour of adventures - rope walking, monkey walking, tarzan swing and spider web... Was an exciting two hours with both the teams trying to clock the best time with their efforts... And finally Team Vodka won d first 3 events and Team Tequila won in the spider-web...

And then we packed r bags and said a goodbye to Mukteshwar.... Thanks a lot Raj and Hemant for this wonderful, exciting, fun-filled trip! Not to forget the lunch at Dev Resorts (NV guyz hope u never forget the murg makhnis, murg lababdars and stuff....)
