Gurcharan ji Thanks a lot for the locations. When we visited in September, there was a lot of mist and a few showers, so we could not go beyond Kondoor. The second stage of cable car could be seen going in the mist. Due to this, we could hardly explore the place. Hoping to visit sometime during flowering season. Regards, Aarti
