Itinerary description
Like every afternoon, I started the walk from Metro Secretariate station towards T5.
From T5, took the junction route towards T3.
It was hot and humid but luckily I was carry two bottles of water.
There was no one going up that route only couple of people coming down.
Reach the junction and took some pictures. and moved towards Monal. Started walking towards Talhar More without stopage.
Trail 4 route was hidden under the tall grass. I started walking briskly as it was almost level track. Took a couple of pictures at Talhar View point.
Sun was ready to go down and I had only a few so I started running whenever I could but due to grass it was risky.
I was doing Trail 4 after 2 years so at a point I felt like I was drifting towards Trail 6, which was closed due to leopard.
It really had my feet frozen but I kept running.
However after sometime I found the markings of T4 and it gave me "Sukh ka sans", but it was getting dark as I was descending into dense forest. Reached selfie point and realized that I still have a long way to go both horizontally and vertically.
Started running again but now the track was slippery due to moisture.
Now there was another fear. Trail 4 has a gate as per my memory which is closed on time. I was afraid it might be closed and I would be trapped in the forest.
Anyways, it was open.
I walked out but still the destination was far far away.
Walked on the Pir Sohawa road for 2 km to reach the 7th avenue and then further 2 km to reach the 7th avenue metro station.
It was a good hike however I did not get to take good pictures....
