I finally caught up with Abhishek Kaushal sitting on a hillock just before the Lake and pondering. He was last here in 2004 and then he had camped very near this spot and completed a perambulation (Parikrama) of the Lake at 3 am in the still of the proverbial mystical hour.

A quick catch-up with the Mountain Walker CEO.
