March 10, was a rainy day at Shringi and my Nikon Coolpix 3200 allows me to make videos. This is the typical view from the window of the Vatika and I just loved the ice formation on the tin roof. But it would fall off after a while, whereas I wanted it to grow and grow and grow.

Hi Manish,
Shringi Vatika would have some car parking space so that should not be a trouble, the place is clean but hot water at least when I visited was available by the bucket from the central bathroom at the same floor. I would still say give the place a try. The food is very good.

Steve, thanks a lot for the encouragement. When the idea occurred to me that I can make videos and share it, I was not sure how it would go down here.Pooja, I know the feeling.Cuckoo, I entirely agree with your observation.Dhiren, thanks for the comment. So when are you heading for the hills next?
I miss the hills! beautiful video!
Nice video. Loved the ice formation. I could admire this scene for whole life. Life on mountains is very difficult compared to the plains, the slippery steps, muddy terrains.. yet it is so quiet, serene and beautiful.
Loved the video. I could have stayed at such a place forever.
Dear Mridula,Love the video. Now you can add them to your stories.Best wishes,steve h
