Starting the 8kmsto &fro trek for Devi Pindianfrom Kunia Nursery, 2 kms from Panthal, the trekkers enjoyed beautiful panoramic views of the lofty Trikuta hills which unfolded before them as they trekked on a narrow stones strewn trail alonga small concrete stream of water. Down below the trekkers witnessed grand spectacle of crystal clear,gushing and cascading waters of Jajjar rivulet which has its origin at Devi Pindian. However, the trek had to be negotiated carefully at some of the points where the narrow trailjust a foot wide is, in fact,a side wall of the concrete stream.
