Dodi Tal now online



The grand Dodital Trek image gallery is now online! This 4-day trip turned out worth a thousand anecdotes.

Here's some archival fodder detailing the awesome night that we trekked without rest, starting from Dodital, right uptil Gangori; a distance of 34km (and 47km for me for the entire day)
The atmosphere is quiet and thick with shadows. The silence has intensified the void. Dark mountains bulk all around us, and if not for our dim torch lights, we couldn't be certain if we were trudging ahead on our own discretion or had the darkness taken us in for prisoners.
These extremities of Uttarkashi - the roads that form its nerves - are like a bad mutation. They get no blood, for there are no settlements along them for many kilometers; many kilometers of stretches that you thought were populated, lie barren in the night. Me and Saurabh seem to have internalised this emptiness - walking on sans any emotion, not even fear.
