Believe me, the average age of 11 member BNHS
group that went for Lahaul-Spiti Trip was 62 years. The youngest one was the
group leader and the eldest one was 75 years old. This was primarily trekking
cum birdwatching trip of the less frequented northern district of Himachal
Pradesh.
Day1
 |
| Jalori Pass |
Left by Volvo from Delhi the earlier evening and
got down just before Aut Tunnel to be picked up by local contact in smaller
traveller vehicles. Reached Shoja our first camp site. At 2692 meters, the
forest rest house was used for keeping our belongings, taking bath, and
breakfast and meals. As soon as we
reached, the rains started and when it stopped, the camping tents were prepared
for night stay. In the afternoon, acclimatization
walk to Jalori pass saddled with continuous rains denied us the birding. There
is Serolsar lake some 6 km from Jalori pass. We went as far as one and half km
on the trek and the continuous rains made us to return to Jalori pass without
venturing further.
