But then with every adventure, there is an element of risk, and in this case it is totally worth it. The kids loved it here --Anil Kumar I brought my mother and my family here from Himachal. They loved it. However, it&#39;s really sad to see people smoking and drinking here and it feels like disrespecting mother nature. After coming to such a beautiful spot, it is very irresponsible on their part to indulge in such activities --Tenzin Negiu00a0
