The Milam glacier teahouse trek - the details

Fantastic! Wonderful trek! Thank you KS for taking me on another trip to Milam. Really enjoyed yor trek pictures. Gracias !

Rajkumar ..... thanks for your kind words. I guess all past Milam Trekkers have found my pictures "nostalgic" .... taking them back to their own trek-days. I suppose most of these scenery... waterfalls, ridges, valleys, peaks, rocks and even villages, huts and tea-shops all remain unchanging over many many years! ... KS

A simpler way is to see the pictures thru a third party (a Harvard student's) Lite-Slideshow at:

http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~prussell/sslite/

enter my Flickr-User-ID: ks_bluechip and once all my sets are got, select "Corbett Tiger Park" set and watch the slideshow with PLAY/Stop buttons...

I will see if I can post this message also in a forum for corbett park, if existing.

Nice photos. I think, all Corbett tigers were pushed to a corner of the park by the forest officials to 'welcome' the 'tiger' from Bihar

Wow those are amazing pictures Kothanda! Thanks so much for sharing them - I now get to see what amazing beauty I have missed!

You didn't see me on the trail since I never made it to Munsiyari; my injured back got worse on the flight to Mumbai and I decided to not risk the long ardous trek with a 20kg backpack and an injured back. I hope to however repeat the attempt again after I recover fully.

Kudos once again, and thanks for the photographs.

Hi Ashutosh,

Sorry to hear you could'nt do the Trek. Hope you are well soon and do the Milam trek some other time.

It was a "little bit" tough trek ..... but the scenery and sights compensate many times over! Having a guide-porter to carry my bag really helped to complete the trek successfully. If I had carried my ownm 10-kg back-pack, I would have been laid low with back pain, in just a half-days trek! I consider my own body weight of 88kg, as a full load(!) of an average trekker of 60kg + 28kg backpack. I was joking with Debu - that he and I carried the same load to Milam Glacier & back!

The Milam trek: I really enjoyed it ... though I wish I had started it 15 days later, when I could have seen more local people in the upper villages and done some side treks including Nanada Devi

Rajkumar, Almoraboy, Sadanand, Capt Mahajan, Feelfree82 and other veteran Trekkers of Uttaranchal:

Please see a new thread I started under "trekking" subject titled:

Combo Trek of Kuari Pass & Roop Kund - anybody done that?

Request your valued reply/advise on that ..thanks. KS

Thanks KS,
You write your travel blog in such a simple style that, to my mind, it becomes easier for those who wish to glance through for reference purposes.

Hi Sadanand....

Thanks, indeed, for your feedback. Actually, I was writing this dairy mostly for myself ... and to share with a few close family members. But when I enrolled in IndiaMike Site in April-07 ... and found lots of contributors sharing their trek & travel experiences that was quite useful for me. And I realised maybe my Diary too could be of some use to others.

I am now glad that I did share it ... as a few reader's have written appreciative feedback emails. More than the specifics of a trek, I feel happy that some people have written to me about feeling inspired and motivated That sounds good to me
