Khali estate, Binsar

Four do-nothing days at Khali estate in Binsar is all we asked for. And it was bliss at its best. The three of us were the only ones at the resort, and off-season travelling is surely my forte now. All our past trips into the hills have been through the rain and clouds! With Anand Hirvey and Ani Gupta, I eat sleep and talk movies all day amidst pure mountain air, and food and tea served at regular intervals. Ani introduced me to a movie, now my all-time favorite, aptly titled- Waking Life.
We took the night train to Kathgodam and reach there early on Sunday morning, packed ourselves into an Alto and took off for Khali estate. Landslides had taken the road in places and we were left wondering if we would get up there at all. Of course we reached up there! A very hospitable staff and just one other group there made the stay very enjoyable- not that we did anything there. Eat sleep laze around and draw a bit. The morning cleared up just once and we got to see the Himalayan range- a rare sighting in this weather. Nuf said- pics now!
