Rewalsar, in itself is a very small town of only less than 2500 people. Has a huge influence of Buddhist culture in the whole town.
Day 2: As soon as we woke up to the knock of the door, for the other fellas were up early. We were idling till late, still it was only around 7 am. And what a sight it was from the balcony, whoosh. I was zapped, just by looking at it. unbelievable.
When we slept last night, none of us got any hint of what we were going to see in the morning.
A huge 35 ft high Guru Rinpoche statue just across the cliff, looked at as in the usual wide eyed manner. The colors and the size of the statue completely zapped us instantly. I woke up wifey and daughter and they were also like, Wow, what is this.
The lake was stone throw distance from the balconies of our rooms in the Tourist Inn. We went down, had tea at the road side tea stall there. Jappi, upto his usual antics, clicking the tea pots and handi's and biwi and of course rest all the things in the universe.
We visited the monastery just on the lake shore and then came back for getting ready. The journey for us is not yet over. Although the feel does say, Rewalsar is indeed a fantastic place and we could surely stay here itself for a few days for sure.
