Trip to Uttaranchal - Food in Deoriatal - Message from a Villager

Image
I was also told that I would not get any food or water after I start my trekk from Sari Village. Because of my Spirit of Survival, I kept some life saving food with me and moved on.. however, I was surprised to see  3 small dhabaz right next to TAL. It was a request from one of the dhabawalas that I post their pictures on the internet that they do have food in Deoriatal. And that people don't need to carry food. These villagers make sure we get what we want at such an altitude. The food is not at all costly and mouth watering. Below are the pics which will show the kind of care they gave us and  was nothing less than my own family. I wish to relive this experience every year.  Bhatt sahab all set to taste the delecious food in desi ishtyle! Anna Anna Anna my fav Anna Thanks to these dhabawalaz! They gave us packed parathaz before we started the trekk again. It was so cool to have such parataz while you sit under the tree on such a height.

And when the nature embraces you Teez Patta - I smelled the leaf n I was amazed to feel such strong n real Teez Patta This is my route back to Deoriatal This is Sari Village from where I started my trek. its approx 6 km away from this point Natural beauty This gave me feel of Amazon which I saw on Discovery channel. ha ha This looks a danger sign to me. However, me and my friend did cross this line too She was so sweet. I could not understand her language. However, I took her permession to click the snap and my friend translated that she was asking will my Son see this click. I couldn't reply her. Children leave their parent,abandon their home towns and go to the cities. Their parents miss them every minute & they want their kids to know this. This was in Sari Village. My Brother, just in case you happen to see your mother's picture here, this is specially for you.

I wonder how would it be!
