Silence of the mountains

The peak which is at a height of 11,100 feet is accessible by a motorable road that climbs through woods of cedar and spruce. One can also trek up to the peak. There was an absolute silence amidst the mountains surrounded by the thick woods and right behind them were the snow peaks of Shrikhand and the famous Kinner Kailash.

We sat on the benches atop the peak to enjoy the beauty of the view. One should be very careful while driving up the road to Hatu peak as the road is very narrow with a deep gorge on one side and has sharp bends at some points. We had a narrow escape at one point when our car almost collided with a vehicle coming down from the opposite direction.
