Adikailash Day16 - 3rd July

We went to Jageswar temple early in the morning and performed Abhishek.  Also, we visited Nageswara jyothirling in the same premises.  It was an awesome time that we spent in the temple and we forgot that we were getting late.  By the time, we went back to hotel, everyone else were waiting for us and welcomed us with claps, whistles and smiles.

We continued our bus journey and reached Nanital by late afternoon.  We had a meeting with KMVN management and then, we were given trekking participation certificates and Shields.
In the evening, we went to Naina Devi temple.  It is one of 54 shaktipeethas where Satidevi's left eye fell.  It was a pleasant darshan.

Later, we continued our trip to Kathgodam and then to Delhi.  We spent a day in Delhi and visited Akshardham temple.  On 5th evening, we returned to Vizag.

Great trip came to an end with lots of memories and divine experience.  Lord Siva blessed all of us with a great team that walked together, helped each other and enjoyed together.  Language which was a barrier early on, never stopped us from communicating later on.  It shows the team building and bonding happened over few days.



Adikailash Day15 - 2nd July

It's a marathon bus journey from Dharchula to Jageswar after visiting Dharchula museum.  On the way, we had to wait for few hours because of some road repairs.  At the end we reached Jageswar at night.  Can't wait for tomorrow morning.
