BINSAR TRAVELOGUE-I

As part of the rejuvenation programme, self and family left for Binsar,Uttaranchal near Almora on PM 7 Apr.Cleared Delhi congestion and halted at Moradabad.The hotel at Moradabad was good but Moradabad is full of mosquitoes.Moradabadis say that mosquitoes are an integral part of their life (no wonder Odomos is still going strong).
Started early morning of 8 April from Moradabad and encountered a long jam on Rampur road.Had to turn back and reached Haldwani by 12 pm after taking a detour of almost 70 kms via Tanda,Bazpur and Kashipur.The route had bad roads, virtually non existent and narrow.The Sugarcane loaded trolleys are plenty on road and no sides are given.One has to zip past in Himalayan Rally Mode. The Swift Dzire held its performance and we started our climb for Binsar from Kathgodam. The road is winding and good.Stopped for a roadside dhaba and had delicious chicken rice. The furious drive on curves and bends digested my fo od but the co-pax were down and out.Reached Mahindra Resort,Binsar and checked into Australian Log Huts.Great view and ambience.Bacardi in night added on to the great times as Bacardi promises.
