The IDL was a great way to connect with nature.Team Kuch Bhi enjoyed its stay at Naini Tal to the fullest extent. Right from the moment we got off the train to Kathgodam we felt as if we were in paradise. The journey from the station to Van Niwas offered some breath taking views of the flora and fauna of Naini Tal. As the vehicle negotiated sharp hair pin bends on our way uphill the feeling was one of pure exhilaration. The Ashram is nestled among heavily wooded hills, in an ambiance that feels divinely serene. The entire span of our 5 day stay consisted of activities like trekking, rappelling, rock climbing and river crossing. Naini Tal with its clean air and vast swathes of rolling green hills provided the perfect getaway to recharge ourselves. On one of the days of our stay we visited the quaint little town. We enjoyed boat rides at the Naini Lake and even took a ride on the rope way cars. The town had some great places to shop and eat and we couldn't help but splurge a little. The night time view of the town from the hill top was absolutely marvelous. It seemed like a coal time studded with golden nuggets :).
