| Where the Heck is Mori ? ....well thats what everyone asked when i told my colleagues about rafting in Mori. Guys in office had been slogging out for a couple of weeks and everyone looked juiced totally....i had been planning to take my wife for her first camping and rafting trip. Rafting on the ganges during june was a serious no no....so i called up folks at MHE and got to know that they were just setting up their camp in mori. It took some cajoling to to get the guys in for the trip....a short trip over the weekend and since my hometown is dehradun decided on staying a day there too... D-Day : Thursday 6pm (still stuck in office) scheduled departure time 10:30pm ...some hours pass by Location : still in office .....are we going ? finally we manage to reach home by 11pm...too late to order food...so poor wifey needs to cook for all friends.....which means more precious hours lost  Finally we leave for dehradun at 1:30am Destination : MHE Tons River Camp Location : Delhi - Dehradun - Mussoorie (271 kms.) Kempty Falls - Yamuna Bridge – Nainbagh (41 kms) - Nowgaon (42 kms) - Purola (19 kms) - Mori (34 kms) – MHE Tons River Camp (2 kms). The journey begins  just after crossing muzaffarnagar  just before the shivaliks  at mohund  we reached home at 6:30am took a shower, had breakfast and picked up some more friends on the way to mussoorie....view of dehradun  on the way to kempty fall  beyond yamuna bridge  the first sightings of tons   snack break at nowgaon  the drive from purola to mori....was breathtaking... the tiredness from having driven all night long was no longer a issue        MHE Tons Camp  lazy chairs, the sound of the river rushing by...couldnt have asked for more...   after having a hearty lunch we went off for a session of rock climbing and got back to camp for tea and some chit-chat over delicious snacks then it was time for bonfire - dinner - games...it was loads of fun and the excitement for the coming day was even more...       more to follow...

Such a lovely log but not concluded. You must take it forward and conclude it. The Place looks lovely. It will be great if you can share the information about the place, facilities, camp owners, how to book etc. Looking forward to loads of information and pictures. | |

| Where the Heck is Mori ? Sorry people, work and a lot of traveling kept me away and the truth is that i hadnt received any comment so i thought the thread got lost somewhere but i was wrong. So here come more pics. some pics of our rock climbing    cycling around the camp was fun too  getting up early and walking around the camp was a treat        the mighty tons  the tree line gets its first rays of sunlight  view from our tent  morning tea    next on the list was rafting  on our way to the put in point  ready for action  i have been rafting for some years now, this was my first experience at tons, it was an adrenaline rush, the water is extremely cold, the river flows fast, the rapids are very technical and it was the first time that we had to actually rescue twice during the same run. these pictures were clicked using an aquapac, i used it for the first time, better pics next time.           |
