Kalpeshwar - Rudranath
Part II

The end of the climb seems to be near.

Finally we are above the jungle and on
to the grass land. The trail moves along the ridge.

Far in the distance Alaknanda flows as
we get to see on the other side of the ridge towards Gopeshwar.

The Forest department's hut and the
hotel at Panar come into view. Mobiles pick up signal just below the flag along
the trail.

The trail goes past the Panar Gufa.

We have company.

The climb is finally over at Pitar dhar.

Local devotees along with the Sadhu were
our companions after Panar.

Our host at Rudranath.

The Rudranath temple complex with the
temple in the end of the row.

Narad kund at Rudranath.

The Nyla pass from where we start our
down ward journey to Ansuiya Devi.

Down in the center the open patch is
Ansuiya Devi and on left is Mandal. So near yet so far.

Chandrashila, above Tungnath just
peeking out of clouds in front.

Looking up we see the trail we had
followed yesterday while moving to Rudranath.

Ansuiya Devi as we reach Kanda Bugyal.

Indra with Surinder Singh the owner of
the hotel at Kanda bugyal where we
stopped for tea.

Amritganga river along which is located
the Atri muni cave. We crossed over to the right bank.

We were lucky to have nearly rain free days.
Looking back - weather had packed up and it rain heavily for the whole day.
