Dalma Weekender: Pics from a recent Team-BHP meet-up

After the last weekender at Mandarmoni, it was decided amongst the members to have an overnighter at Asanbani near Jamshedpur. Dalma Hills nearby was an added attraction along with some more near Ranchi. Jamshedpur is around a 5-hour leisurely drive from Calcutta and hence, members took it easily among themselves. The idea was to spend some quality time with friends over the weekend. Some like me decided to hit the road the previous night itself and some decided to start very early in the morning the next day in order to reach Asanbani, Jamshedpur around noon.

We stopped for a round of tea at our first stop near the Dhulagarh toll plaza. I was the last one to reach as the rest of the group had already assembled. Round of tea over, we headed for our dinner stop at SHER-E-PUNJAB Kolaghat. Someone might be wondering- starting at midnight and then stopping for dinner doesn't sound right !! But then, when foodies like us meet at one place, the conversation starter has to be some lip-smacking food, time and place notwithstanding.
