Murti Part-4 - Dooars - Beautiful Colours of West Bengal - Destination East - Incredible India

  Murti Part-4


It is a fine morning at Murti. We are not very early to get up today. Argha and Soumya still enjoying the winter morning under the blanket while closing their eyes. Sun has risen in the horizon already. Fog is getting clear. The morning tea is already served in our room. I am now standing outside the room with Soumendu. We are slowly sipping the tea and relishing the morning.

We are now having a leisurely stroll inside the resort compound. The morning seems very fresh and shiny. Soumendu is carrying his camera and so taking some snaps of the place. There is a dog enjoying the morning sun peacefully. I have come near the dog and expressing my solidarity with it. Soumendu is afraid of dogs. So he is standing at a distance from the dog. He is now taking a picture of me with the dog. 


A pathway inside the resort compound

We have now come out of the resort area. Now we are walking towards the bridge on the river Murti. We can see some people are commuting by bicycle or walking. Yesterday night it was a different experience.

We have now reached at the river bank. The river looks splendid in the daylight. After spending some time on the bridge we are now planning to walk on the river bed.

We are now walking on the river bed. We are wearing Hawai Chappals (slippers made of rubber). So we are walking inside the water putting them on. The water is very cold. After spending some time walking inside the water, my feet are getting frozen. Hence I am now standing on dry pebbles.


The river Murti in the shiny morning


Soumendu is taking photographs of the river and its surroundings. I am wondering how we were thrilled last night looking at the jungle on the other side of the river. It was an adventure on yesterday night. It is a leisure walk and relaxation in today morning.

Soumendu is taking a photo of me keeping the bridge in the backdrop. Now its my turn to be the photographer. So we have interchanged our positions and I am clicking the shutter. I am feeling happy with the click and so clicking for one more time but from different angle. ;)

We have now walked through the riverbed quite some distance from the bridge. We have walked upstream of the river. Here we can see a metaled road on our left side (Murti villlage side) along the river. Here it is difficult to get up from the river bed as the guard wall is high and steep. So we are now going back towards the bridge.

We are now back on the road and returning to the resort. There are some dogs quarreling among themselves making high volume barks. This time Soumendu is not the only one who is afraid of the dogs.

We are now back into the resort. Other tourist groups are returning after jungle safaris in the morning. Probably most of them are coming from Gorumara National Park. We are quite saturated with the jungle safaris that we did on yesterday. So, we have skipped it for today. We have kept today's morning for relaxation. But it will not be a lazy day after all. We will move to another place after visiting few more places on this tourist circuit.

We are now inside our cottage. Soumya and Argha have got up now. We are taking bath one by one. The bathroom is quite big, probably of size 10 feet by 10 feet. The floor is made of white tiles and the walls are also white. So are the objects inside the bathroom. They are seemed newly installed and looks nice. While someone is taking bath the other persons are packing their bags. The walls of the bedroom are also white. We are standing in front of a clear wall one by one and taking photographs. We are in the making of white background passport sized photos. ;)

We have completed our breakfast and we all are ready for the next part of the trip.
