Re: Exploring Dev Bhoomi Kumaon
yes sir, it was a solo ride.
----consecutive posts auto-merged-----
Day 4 (final day): Gwaldum - Kausani - Someshwar - Ranikhet - Nainital - 175Km
Again woke up early before sunrise and went down the Gwaldum-Dewali road (around a Km) to get a good spot to photograph sunrise. Again the sunrise was spectacular. Some pics below
While I was taking the pictures of the sunrise, met a person who was out for a morning walk and we struck up a conversation. The person had served in the '71 war somewhere in the East and told me a couple of stories. We then returned back to town and had tea together.
After returning to the room. packed and left. Unfortunately the GMVN guesthouse was not serving breakfast.
From Gwaldum, I descended down to Baijnath. The old temples looked spectacular against the towering snow-capped peaks.
Baijnath temples under the towering Himalayas.
From Baijnath the road ascends to Kausani with its perfect panoramic views. At Kausani, I visited the Anashakti Ashram and saw the museum there.
Panoramic view of the Himalayas from Kausani
After Kausani, again the road descends to the town of Someshwar and its spectacular valley with terraced fields. Again the road was quite wide and nice; traversing through some spectacular views.

After Someshwar, I stopped at a juice processing place. They had small outlet outside the factory. After 3 bottles of juice, I turned towards Ranikhet.
Few Km before Majhkhali, I found a vacant temple with a small ground. Took a break and slept in the sun for half an hour before heading towards Ranikhet.
Ranikhet to Nainital is a short distance which I made in no time and was soon home before 1800.
Trip Stats:
Distance: approx 650KM
Fuel consumed: Rs900
Food Cost: Rs400/-
Lodging: Rs3400/-
