we clicked our camera a few times in the temple area, and came back by SUV
to the main market. next we spent the noon and evening by walking 5 km to the golf course ( returned by a jeep), we were tired and then we wanted a lodge, a good one at reasonable price.so we heard we could get hotels at mall road, ranikhet. but whats this, when we reached mall road, we realised it was the worst mall road i have visited.one restaurant, two good lodges, and 3-4 other hotels. no shops, no people or hustle or bustle. infact it was so quiet that there could be a hissle or even bad, a rustle, given that there was no lighting in road.


so this small inn was where we took paranthas, and tea and rushed back to our den to end the day.
Ranikhet is a highly controlled area by army.army jeeps, vans carrying equipments, ammos, sign boards showing 'restricted entry' are a common sight. another thing common to this hill station is,
that army and other vehicle owners and other people know each other, and these people help each other and greet them on their way.
next morning afer our visit to apple garden, we ran into one such vehicle which dropped us to the bus stand.
