Magic at its best
The drive to Kalatop almost did not happen because teenagers Priya and Aashka thought it would be boring. “We have seen sunsets and sunrises, haven’t we? One more sunset.. why don’t we drive down to Dharamsala and we can get some friendship bands there,” Priya said. Aashka echoed these thoughts but they got over-ruled by four adults.
The teenagers got excited when we were faced with a barrier that the forest guard on duty at a place called Lakkarmandi said would not go up because we were late and we would have to pay a hefty entry fee. But Sunil and I flaunted our journalist muscle and got him to raise the barrier and let our Tavera secure entry to the 3km drive up the winding, dirt track.
