Dalma Top day 1

A trip to Dalma top, the icing on cake we had scored the forest bunglow with a view for night stay.

We were on our way early morning was 0750 hours we met up and started out, Ronny Dcosta, Alfred Austa and me had gathered n were on our way, weather was cloudy but we are hopeful weather Gods will be kind. We had to pick up another member Fr Peter from XlRI and we were on our way by 0825hrs, Dalma top is approx. 45 km n we moved onto the forest guesthouse reaching and checking in our reservation making sure & once sure all is well, we were on to the top, 9the guest house is 5km before Dalma top

Dalma top has a temple of Lord Shiva

way to the cave

and then there is another temple which is in the cave and again dedicated to Lord Shiva, the entry to the cave is a bunch of steps and only one person can go at a time, and them viola there is the wonderful idols, this place has a good sprinkling of monkeys, which is to be expected as it is a forest.

We were back to the guest house after walking the last km to Dalma top for an hour or so, the walk had generated a good appetite, We were hungry, lunch was chicken and rice, all food was compliments of Ronny D’costa, for organizing the raw material and cooking was done by the fine folks at the guesthouse.

We opted for an early lunch and then we relaxed for the afternoon, and greeted with a lovely view of Jamshedpur as evening set in,

we had many a stimulating conversation and discussions as is to expected and we called it a night at 2145 hours. ( to be cont ...)
