Happy Forests


Dehradun hills seem to be made of very porous material. Whenever we have plenty of rains, the hills begin handing it out in the form of little streams springing up everywhere. This one is called 'Nalapani' and is a source of fresh water throughout the year, unfortunately the stream is captured at the source and confined to a water tank except for monsoons when no one can keep it imprisoned.

Here it is enjoying its new found freedom and eager to meet the mighty Ganges, where all streams and rivulets draining the east side of Dehradun end up.
