Post Sunset sky from the Hill View Point Park, Daringbadi.
It is hard to resist the temptation of cruising fast on such a wide, smooth and sparsely congested highway as NH-5.
You can still recite, "Woods are lovely dark and deep..." when you're at Daringbadi.
Daringbadi is such a hill station where you'll get easily disappointed if you travel with the preformed mindset of sightseeing.
The setting sun at Daringbadi was very kind to me. He painted the sky with picture-perfect hues.
A large Hanuman statue will welcome you before you cross the Rushikulya River and enter Sorada.
There is a waterfall approximately 15 kilometers away from Daringbadi. It is a small waterfall but mostly you'll find the place free from tourists, giving you a beautiful illusion of owning a private fall!
It is not at every sub-thousand meters altitude you'll find coniferous trees!
Tourists at Hill View Park busy in catching the fleeting sun.
Termite mounds are common in coniferous forests of Daringbadi.

Unknown January 16, 2016 at 12:22 PM I so envy you. I'm planning to go Dehradhun but I'm too paranoid to drive down alone. What if my car breaks down in the middle of nowhere? Whom will I trust to repair my car without stealing original spare parts or robbing me blind? Or worse. :/ Okay. I admit I'm jealous :( So train journey it is for me. Sigh. Reply Delete Replies Anunoy Samanta January 21, 2016 at 3:34 AM Paranoia kills a germinating seed. Think over it Pankti. What happened to your Leh-Ladakh trip? :-/ Delete Replies Reply Unknown March 6, 2016 at 10:36 PM Life happened. But at least, I drove to Rann of Kuch and MP :) Next month, it's McLeodganj, May Mumbai and in July, Valley of Flowers. The only difference being, I take public transport when I'm alone :) I don't have guts to drive alone. Sigh. Delete Replies Reply Reply
