We had breakfast and left the hotel early for an adventurous trek. Most of us had a firsthand experience of mountain climbing and rappelling. The breathtaking views and awesome experiences left everyone gasping for breath. After lunch, we proceeded towards Bhagsu Nag Falls on foot. Inspite of it being far away, the enthusiasm in the students was obvious. On the way back we enjoyed a shopping spree in the local Tibetan market.

A visit to the cricket stadium at Dharamsala, Baijnath temple and a overview of the tea gardens occupied the first half of the day. Driving on, by the end of the day, we reached Palampur Camp area. The scenic beauty, panaromic views, the V shaped valleys were all fantastic. We felt we were in the laps of nature. Living in the natural surroundings the children learnt about the basic things like cleanliness and team spirit and had a new experience of living in tents. They all danced, played games like tug of war and musical chairs etc and had a jolly good time.

The next morning started on a healthy note with yoga, followed by trekking and swimming. They had breakfast when they reached back and then it was time to start our journey back to Patiala. The kids were not in a mood to leave the camp area as they wanted to spend another day there. But we had no choice as we had to reach back Patiala.
