Thaila, Himachal Pradesh, India, 08 September 2016,  1400 hours:

Just crossed the Thaila bridge and Mela Ram Uncle informed me that the waters in the nallah (above which the bridge is built) comes from near Matiana. The brook from our ‘The Brook on the road to Shaali‘ post from our March 2016 trip, flows from near Fagu.

I asked Uncle if there are any trek routes up both, The Brook as well as the Thaila nallah. And his reply that he hadn’t heard of any such routes made me immediately think of Sanjay “thebengali”, for he would love to go out exploring such places.
