senses

The Journey begins

In North India, from the Himalayan foothills, along the Ganga river valley, along NH48 highway, in Uttarakhand. Nearly 230 kms from Delhi to Haridwar-Rishikesh, then another 200km to go till BirdsCall, from Haridwar.

The Journey continues...

Greater Cormorants sunning themselves along the Ganga, as seen from the highway


The emerald Ganga, by our side for nearly all the way...perfect for a half way halt and some white water activities


The milestones and map markers before we turn off-grid! 28 kms from BirdCall

A time for reminscences, lazy readings, merry bonding. All in the inviting, cosy, charming & comfortable nooks and corners at BirdsCall
