Recipe for Mango Tango Pickle- Companion for a Winter Afternoon in leisure

While we all cherish the memories of our travels to places  and the food we eat there, sometimes we also like to stay home and relax in the winter afternoon sun and bask in the sunshine. A plate of tangy mango pickle is a surely good way to spice up the time spent in leisure. When the mango season arrives, our mango tree provides plentiful of raw mangos.

Trip to Chaukori

Image
This is one trip we di d in August 2008. Me with friends Saugata, Rakesh and Majhi decided to do a trip to Chaukori, a small hill station in the Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand. Chaukori, at a height of 2010 m above sea level, offers breathtaking views of the Himalayas range from particularly the snowy peaks of the Nanda Devi and Nanda Kot. First we purchased a Nest & Wings Map of Kumaon which has extensive information about everything a tourist wants for a successful trip. We started the 14th of August 2008 by the Midnight train Kathgodam Express from Haridwar. Reaching Kathgodam we decided to start our journey early and took a cab to Almora. By the time we reached there it had already started to drizzle. There we had very good food in a Punjabi Dhaba and started for the next leg of the journey. At about 3.00 p.m we were able to get a bus which was going to Pithoragarh. The bus passed through dense pine and Deodar forest. The rain followed us where ever we went. It was almost ...
