(Day 3) Nainital Bike Tour 2011 ~ Rock Climbing

Day 3 (Rock Climbing, Rappelling, Flying Fox, Jumaring)

At 10 AM, after our paneer parantha breakfast, our trainer arrived in his Bajaj Avenger to pick us. Handsome guy in his early 20s, he seemed very passionate about rock climbing. We were happy that we had a trainer of our age group. All three of us rode on his bike from Nainital to Mangoli. His bike was in fantastic condition and I test rode it for some distance.

At Camp Dhanuli, we did rock climbing, rappelling, flying fox and jumering. I will not go in procedural and technical details, let the photos do the talking.

After some 3-4 hours, Shoeb bhai dropped us back to Nainital town. We thanked him for the lift and exchanged phone numbers. Then we headed to Bara Bazaar to buy famous namkeen and Bal Mithai of Nainital. After that I went to Internet Cafe to get a print out of my e-ticket and exchange photos.

While coming back to Nainital, we got the bird's eye view of the town.

Back hotel, I took my luggage and bid farewell to Appu. Thanked him for joining me on this wonderful trip. Went walking to Mallital from where I caught a shared taxi till Haldwani (Rs 100). Late night, boarded train from Lal Kuan Station and arrived Lucknow next morning. Home Sweet Home.

The End.
