A hurricane trip to Sursingdhar

Snow peaks on the way to Sursingdhar. Can u spot me? 

On 24th of November, just three days before we were supposed to leave for Japan, five of us ( we three and my grandparents from Kolkata) went on a hurricane trip to Sursingdhar to Nalin uncles's resort. My mother is the architect of the project and she had some urgent work at the site which had to be done. She also wanted to show something to my grandfather who is a civil engineer.

So Off we went. From Dehradun, Sursingdhar is just three hours into the hills. The weather was very clear and we got to see the snow capped Himalayas all along the way and my grandmother was extremely thrilled. The peaks stretched out for miles and miles all along the right side of the road and my grandmother just kept watching them.

 At Sursingdhar we were given two very good rooms in the first floor of a beautiful bungalow. The rooms were very good and the view from the rooms too very fabulous. We were really in the lap of the mountains.

 Next morning we woke up at sunrise and had a clear view of the snow peaks like Chaukhamba ( my father's favorite) and the others. After some time we could also see the Tehri Dam, a big spread of blue in the middle of green mountains.

My mother had already gone to the site after an early breakfast. Later in the morning, we ( myself, my father and grandfather) went to the site. My grandfather did a good survey of site, going up and down the contours, while my father continuously talked on his phone as I wandered about.

Later that day, after lunch we returned to Dehradun. It was a short but  sweet trip.
