Travel - Kalatop calling!

Can't wait to head to Kalatop tomorrow, beyond Dalhousie, into the quiet of a sanctuary... Jammu Mail takes us to Pathankot and a drive from there to the Forest Rest House at Kalatop (http://media.photobucket.com/image/kalatop/sahilbanga/kalatop1.jpg)
I was amazed to have chanced upon this lovely property on the internet, considering it's sarkari..and it had one solitary number which most of the time keeps going onto an annoying fax tone...
Nevertheless, "SUITES" have been booked and the guards at the sanctuary, since it happens to be right in the middle of one, will allow us through the checkpost once Mr. Chandan Singh makes that much needed call from the rest house...
I have always cursed Delhi for not having enough places to drive upto, closeby, but trains are a great saviour, save time and get to faraway places...
Snooze away post 21 30 and wake up to Pathankot 07 30...refreshing....4 hours from there in an ok cab and no roads..we will be there...
Await pictures....
