Voyage to Mukteshwar and Kasar Devi (Hidden Gem in Himalayas)

Image
It doesn’t matter how long we’re away, our hearts eventually call us back where we belong. That place that calls me back are the Himalayas. Did you find yours? J If you are a frequent visitor on my page, then you must be aware that I always search for off-beat places which are not so popular and less crowded. This time I was looking for some places like that in the Himalayan ranges of Uttarakhand state. My excitement and curiosity eventually led me to Mukteshwar and Kasar Devi.   Mukteshwar’s  neighbour Nainital attracts lots of tourist traffic from the surrounding states and Delhi. Mukteshwar is better for those who like to explore off beat areas and less crowded hill towns.

Our decisions are all about our priorities, some people prioritize to buy assets while some opt to spend on buying experience. For me it was an overdue experience which took me back to the land of Dhauladhar ranges. In reference to my last visit to Dharamshala and Mcleodganj I had to skip my plans to Kareri because of unfavorable weather condition hence I had to plan my visit again to the beautiful land of Kangra district in Himachal Pradesh. What next? Since it was a sudden planned trip hence I just packed few essentials, started my bike and took off. Multiple mix thoughts were juggling in my mind while riding. Ride comprises of 4 different states starting from Delhi, followed by Haryana and Punjab before reaching Himachal Pradesh. It took me 10 hours to reach Kareri Village.
