re: Summer Trip to Nainital : A Relaxed Perspective | And once again, in winter (from page 3) The grounds outside the Corbett Museum are full of lychee and mango trees laden with fruit. Visitors are warned of a Rs.50 penalty for plucking them.
Whoever has taken the contract for collecting the fruit, has his people, including small kids, busy with the task of sorting and packing the plucked fruit. The price they ask is more than what we would pay for the best quality stuff in our neighbourhood market at Delhi.
Outside, we realise that there are many other such orchards nearby, and a fruit seller with a pair of of cute rabbits sells us some at a reasonable price.
They turn out to be really juicy and delicious. Time to head uphill towards Nainital from here. A wonderful experience awaits us there, but little do we know to what extent. Our accommodation for the next 3 nights, here we come!
