She works as an interior designer and is a big travel enthusiast and loves taking on adventures once in every while.

However, they booked the camp upon reaching and not before, to have the minimum possible distance from all the visiting places. The camp had the best morning view of the Himalayan range and was luckily quite near to ‘Chauli ki jali’. 

Now what may come as a surprise to many is that these 5 girls were all alone in the camp. Since they arrived on a working day, the camp did not have much of a rush. All there was, was the main staff of the hotel, which Priyanka says were quite polite and friendly. And they did not feel unsafe during their stay.

Next on her list was to visit the Mukteshwar temple and Chauli ki jali, which is a fantastic sunset spot. Which also takes a moderate amount of hiking. There was quite a bit of rush in these spots as it was a weekend. 

This was a budget trip and everything was booked and bought keeping that in mind. It took INR 8000 per person which covered absolutely every expense on the trip.
