Early morning sun rise is a must watch here. The sun as it rises quietly amidst snow covered mountains and rests in the clouds amidst the blue sky looks heavenly. This mesmerizing scene is barely seen in the ever-crowded cities that we live in. The care-taker Mr. Omkar is kind enough to take the tourists for a trek in the woods. The sight one gets to watch is of the rarest and beautiful birds hidden amidst bamboo trees and a small running stream that carries fresh water. A waterfall that gives pure water can quench your thirst or a dip after your brief trek that is much better than a shower in the washroom. The trek takes you through a lion’s den as well and some pine and cedar trees that smell simply divine.
A small fish pond and a kitchen garden with fresh vegetable is an interesting sight as you get to see on your way back to the resort. The trek is long enough to rev up your appetite and before you know it a table is laid for you with a variety of breakfast options you could imagine. The chef makes delicious food that would make you feel back at home.
