The kids have fun
We waited until afternoon for the sun to become a bit milder before hitting the trail.
The hilltop is basically a vast plateau at an elevation of about 2000 ft above sea level with a dense forest surrounding it from all sides. We rambled aimlessly through the groves of Sal, Kushum and Palash. We were certainly in the lap of Mother Nature.
The onset of spring saw the beginning of new life in the forest, and the tender leaves with their luminous green shade were a treat to the eyes. The blooming Palash were ubiquitous though, tying the entire forest with its red ribbon.

There were sleepy hamlets hidden in the wooden slopes. The villagers were affable and mingled freely with us. My digicam proved quite useful in making friends.
The kids were amazed to see their snaps on the LCD screen. They jumped with joy, and their sweet smiles and gleaming faces made a happy picture.
