While i was taking shots at the dam, our remaining team members joined back after completing their round of the lake and then we all went to the new hotel to get a room for ladies and kids.

After getting the room, we enjoyed the dinner at same place and then hotel management arranged for a complementary bonfire

Meanwhile i took above shots of the moonrise and then we gathered around the fire as it was getting really chilly.

Time: 9:20 p.m.

Here u go

Well, after negotiations and involving our jeep driver's cousin who is part owner of the place, we got one room for ladies and kids for Rs.1,500 per night.

I am sure in season, rates would go around 3K-5K and there may be a race now to build more hotels.

Bonfire

Trying to fight the cold

[aesiege]

Some tweaking and increased intensity of the flames

By this time, a local baba ji had joined us and in no time the typical story of Shahzada Saif started

But then he recited some beautiful poetry while i was taking these pics and Shah ji was recording that poem.

[aesiege]

We all were indulged in that poem but my hands were still working on the cam
