A trek to Churdar -9th 10th and11th May Ex Delhi - Inviting Participation

Hoping that you would include everyone who is interested via a mass email from gmail is a tall order- therefore I thought of broadcasting this message using social media with the hope of inviting comments and some discussions :)

My Mami ( yes Kaka Nagar Aunty - for some of you :) ) has planned a trekking tour to the Churdhar peak - at 12,000 ft the highest peak in lower himalyas ( well, Shivaliks) - offers some panoramic views of upper himalyan ranges and the indo gangetic plains at the same time

And of course some photography enthusiasts have also given Churdhar a place on flickr

The Plan is as follows

9th May Saturday

-depart from Delhi - 6 am or even earlier ( Somewhere in central delhi)
Breakfast on the way - Lunch - Reach Nauradhar before 3 pm
Begin Trekking - 2-3 hours reach Teesri - Camp overnight


10th May Sunday
Trek to the peak - return to the shiva temple - camp overnight

11th May Monday
Descend to Naura reach by 4 pm

From here there are two options:
1. Those who intend to resume work on 12th - Drive to Kalka ( 4 hrs from Naura ) take Kalka Mail at 11:30 pm from Kalka reach delhi by 6 am on 12th May - Go to office :)

2. Those who can take 12th Tuesday off - they chill out after reaching Naura - in the Rajgarh valley - bathe in the stream , wander in the orchards (Rajgarh is a fruit bowl and this season trees will be loaded with plums and peaches) - we drive back leisurely to reach delhi by evening 7 pm or so

Next Steps
