The land is blessed with Shiv temples – Mahadev, Jatashankar, Gupt Mahadev with folklores going back to centuries . There are some very beautiful waterfalls – B-falls (named after the bees found there), Duchess falls, Silver falls , Satdhara falls & the place is a trekkers delight.

For our trek we went to Apsara Vihar which ultimately culminates in the Silver Falls. It was a distance of appx 3kms downhill with a stream flowing at the centre. Depending on the mood of the stream it got deep or shallow at different places giving life to the trees & animals along the way. Since we could not find many animals on our safari a day before, I asked my guide if we would see any animals on our trek & he politely asked me to pray not to encounter any animals during the trek as bears, bisons, leopards & tigers are  seen frequenting the place.

It was a happening trek as we moved downward in the valley sans any equipment & at times had to sit & slide down as the landing was too deep. At one point we were stuck as the stream had become wide & deep & there was no way to move further along the stream. We had to climb up a rock which was double my height. Our guide went first & was standing atop. I was the next to go, my husband helping me, holding me & pushing me lest I fall into the water below.   The guide dangled his leather belt for me to hold it & climb as the rock was steep & it was difficult to find a foothold.
