Somewhere on this road, we stopped to click a few pictures and a Mahindra Bolero, that was also going towards Chandra Taal, neared us and stopped. We had taken over this Bolero just a while ago and i thought he stopped to ask us for directions. To my surprise, a woman, in her late 30s or early 40s, peeked out of the window and asked,
"Ruk kyun gaye, chalna nahi hai?"
For a moment, i didnt know what to say but replied,
"Haan bas chal rahe hain. Kuchh photos leni thi"
"Chalo phir"
"Haan chaliye" I said and looked at Narender who was equally surprised "Chal Bhai"
And that is when i noticed that that Bolero was packed with women, all in their late 30s or early 40s. There were so many of them in there that i couldnt even count at one glance.
So now we started again towards Chandra Taal with Bolero following us.
There are 3 camp sites around the lake, the first one asked us for Rs. 2500 / person, 2nd one asked for 1800 / person and the last one, also the one closest to the lake asked for Rs. 500 for one tent which we could both fit in easily.
That Bolero also followed us to the same stop, gates opened, and one by one, 14 women stepped out of that Car, and 1 drive. I dont even know how they all fit in there. Fortunately, they did not camp there, just visited the lake and left for Kaza.
After leaving our bags at the camp, it was time to go see the beautiful lake.
