Journey – Delhi to Almora – a distance of 345 kms by bus – via Ghaziabad and Kathgodam

We got ready by 0530 hrs and picked up all our baggage and waiting for the bus. The bus reached and we are very thrilled to see the bus. Lot of members of NGOs gathered to send off us. They were greeting us and wishing us good luck and safe journey and darshan of Kailashpathi. Myself, Hari and lot of other members checked the baggage of each and every yatris and marked them as per our LO’s advice. So that we could identify our baggage easily. Once all the baggage was marked properly, we put them up in the truck and counted simultaneously. The list is prepared and one list is given to the truck driver for their reference.

The bus started moving towards Ghaziabad, another NGO has arranged welcome to us. We had a brief meeting and had our breakfast there. The bus started moving towards Kathgodam. At Kathgodam we had lunch at the KMVN building. From here KMVN has arrange 2 non-AC vans for carrying us. We got down in the van and started our journey. Needless to say that we were received very well by the KMVN. After lunch, we continued our journey in the van to reach Almora. We reached Almora KMVN Guest house around 2200 hrs. We were really tired of the journey because the route is on the hill side and they are typical Indian roads with full of potholes. We went to bed straight away.
