We took an afternoon explore in a nature reserve outside of Mussoorie. It was incredibly peaceful in the woods, well sort of. The kids both had major meltdowns, and so the majority of the time we were each hiking while holding one or both of them. That said, we saw some amazing birds, and beautiful mountain vistas. We hired a taxi, which was an old ambassador. I think we got more of a kick out of it than the kids.
The area is famous for its rhododendrons, but we had just missed the bloom. The forest seemed fairly old, but turns out was just 40 years old, having been restored from old farm land.
The kids were very excited, albeit a little scared to find leopard scat on the trail!
Our turn-around point was the top of a very narrow ridge with gorgeous views to either side. And look, a rare complete family photo!
Annie was very proud of this feather she found.
And I found what would make a perfect new writing desk...
Of course, a good hike deserves a good ice-cream....
