Prologue
We mortals come out with brilliant plans, thinking, we will be able to stick to them and that way, we will enjoy our life. However, more often than not, it is God who has a plan enstored for us and it is that plan, which truly reveals to us the beauty of this world.
Something similar happened with us when we started planning for a 4-day monsoon trip to Himachal Pradesh.
After contemplating a lot of off-beat locations, we finally zeroed in on Gopalpur Forest Rest House near Sarahan as our initial destination. After all, the last trip we had done to Gopalpur, had been wonderful (click here to read that travelogue.)
Daranghati along with Daran Pass and Sarahan was also in the plan. And I wanted to visit Sungri, taking the road from there to Daran Pass and then on to Gopalpur. Unfortunately, others were more keen on taking the normal route to Gopalpur.
None of us knew God had something else in mind. And in the end, we would end up with him as our navigator, taking us through the unseen and off-beat Himachal Pradesh, not many have seen.
This is a travelogue of a trip gone wrong, at least as per plan. Yet, it was one of the best trips for all of us.
