I have written a post on the experiences we had during our previous
Torna Trek that was done after the onset of monsoon. This time around the monsoon got delayed a bit. Though we enjoyed the scenery, we missed walking in the clouds towards the top of the mountain and the lush blanket of greenery all around us. We had sensed the grandness of Torna by the
slight outlines that stood out amongst the dense fog, but this time around we actually saw the grandness of the mountain and the immense fortification of the fort.
Just like last year, we completed the trek and then went to Mirch Masala for some scrumptious lunch.
Some pictures from this year's visit to Torna:

| A familiar sight. Sometimes these dogs will accompany you throughout the trek. We rewarded them with some egg yolks. |
