When ever I come across a small village in Himalayas, I always wonder how wonderful it would be to live in such a beautiful place. Maybe one day my dream will come true and I will settle down in a place like this.
After three and half hour of exploring the the villages, it was time to return to Sarahan.
Just in time to eat breakfast cum lunch at a small Chinese restaurant right in front of the Bhimkali temple. Not only were we treated to delicious breakfast cum lunch of momos and vegetable soup, the temple also added to the overall feel of place.
After eating to our full, we decided to ride a little further. So off we went to Jeori and after topping up, both of us headed on the NH-22. With clouds getting thicker by the minute, it was only a matter of time before the heavens gate opened up.
Since I had to return the following morning to Delhi, I decided to head back after Bhawa, while Salil went towards Recongpeo. Just as well, since the rain was looking in no mood to relent. Only after half an hour or so, it slowed down to a drizzle and I had the opportunity to take out my camera.

However as the luck would have it, heavens opened up with all their fury, leaving me to beat an hasty retreat. For the next 40mintues I was pounded by heavy rain, leaving me completely drenched. Sigh of relief came when I reached Rampur, after a bit of searching I got a room in a decent guest house for 220bucks a night.
After drying up, I go a call from Salil telling me, he had reached Recongpeo and had gotten a room as well. With rains still not showing any signs of stopping their fury, I slowly fell asleep.
