Plant Shooting tour/trip to Morni Hills

[Balkar Arya]

Dear Members

First of all i wish to say SORRY for remaining silent/Away from the group. This was due to 31 march Syndrome. as I have to complete many financial work and report writings etc. From Today onwards i will try to be active. To get rid from the tiredness of non floristic works carried out in this month I/We are planning to visit Morni hills. This is the only hill station in Haryana in Panchkula District only 35 Kms away from Chandigarh. Now days flowering is at boom there. Some of our friends from Pune University are also planning to visit the same. If any body from nearby area or even from distant places wish to see this little and almost undisturbed hill station may kindly contact me. The most probable time of the visit will be mid of april.

Thanks

Yes Gurcharan Ji

Up to Morni Resort there is a good Motorable Road. However this year during rainy season Morni Hill Resort of Haryana Govt was damaged a lot due to Landslide. By now all is well.

During this we may also visit Botanical Garden of Punjab University and Cactus Park in Panchkula. 

This place is in foothills of Shivalik Hills and have transitionary ecosystem. Hotels etc in this area are not so good but enough comfortable for the wild/natural tourists like all us. some of our members like Col Suresh C Sharma has visited this place so many times for bird watching and Myself and dr Nidhan Singh is very much familiar with this area.

Hope for a good visit 

[Gurcharan Singh]

Yes Garg ji

We will surely enjoy.
