We wokeup at 3:45 AM to capture the sunrise from Chandrashilla peak.It is really hard
to leave the warm bed but we managed it. Yesterday we slept with a plan that everybody will wakeup
,put their shoes on and leave ,no dressing etc is allowed in order to avoid delays.
Some of us didn't went for the this early morning trek.
We left Tungnath @ 4:15 AM .It was completely dark ,only barking of dog is heardand we forget to ask Chandrashilla
trek route yesterday from somebody. Then we remebered Prashant ( A dog guided him all the way).
We then called the dog. He led us ,we carry torches and walk one after another.
After some time we saw some other guys following us .
Finally we reached Chandrshilla at 5:45 AM it is still dark and Sun is about to come.Chilling winds was blowing at the top.
