I reached the top of this 8,300 ft summit after an hour and a half on horseback. Julie and our driver Shashi (please don't call him Sashi) took a little longer as they walked. I tried to tell Julie it was way too far to climb but you can imagine what effect that had on her. She climbed 1,000 foot over a distance of 3 klms in 2 hours. From the top we should have been able to see the Himalayas but at this time of year it is too misty during the day. You can see the lake at Nanital just at the bottom of the flagpole. This is about 5 klms away and 2,000 feet below this lookout. All the boys also made it by horseback and Rob also walked up.
