Day 1 : Part 2
We boarded another vehicle to move towards the upper reaches of Singalila national park. The initial part of the road was very steep, and the vistas changed gradually. We crossed Chitre, and thereafter saw magnolia grandiflora blooming sporadically.
The road that we had travelled.
We reached Meghma which is a scenic, little hamlet.
As this is near the international border with Nepal, there was an SSB post there where we had to enter particulars. We had a little chitchat with the jawan there and shared each one’s stories of how we lived through the lock-down period and how we were treated by our employers. He jokingly said that grass always looks greener on the other side, and the treatment is similar – whether it be public or private employment! Perhaps he was right – who knows!
As we gained elevation, we entered the reign of clouds and rhododendrons.
We reached Tumling, spent a few hours there and came down to Lepchajagat to spend the night.
