Good work. Renukaji is a wonderful place and only when you visit it, only then you can appreciate its beauty. I wish you could travel a bit upward and visit Haripurdhar (9000 feet) and visit Ma Bhangyayani temple. This is a famous place and temple is situated on a small hill. Incidently, at one time I was establishing a University in that area. Well I built up a school for the people there which is being run by my students. Thanks for nice pics.

Day-2 contd:
Find below pics of day-2 taken at Renukaji lake:
There were numerous fishes are present in this holy lake,obviously fishing is prohibited here
We also did boat ride for which only few are opting, they charged 350 bucks for large boat
Thank god we made a wise decision and selected this dragon boat with roof as it started raining heavily when we are in middle of the lake
Since this lake is quite deep, with unknown depth we found few kids doing swimming practice in lake
From this point one has to turn the boat back, as told by the owners
We also found this tortoise near our boat in middle of lake, he is making weird noises after seeing us
View from the boat are breathtaking
Now downpour started and we are enjoying this boating experience to fullest

Find below pics of day-2 taken at Renukaji lake:
We thoroughly enjoyed our hour an hour stint in the middle of the lake
Soon we said bye bye to these boats and badly require some break
Right in front of lake we found HPTDC hotel The Renuka
This is a very well maintained property and we spent next half an hour here
Lawn in front of this restaurant was very well maintained and looked more beautiful due to monsoon

Day-3
On this day since morning it was raining heavily, we started for Paonta late in afternoon from Nahan. Paonta is 42 KM away from Nahan and well connected via excellent condition road, one can cover this distance easily in mere 1.5hrs only since most part of this route falls in flat zone except first few kms of hilly road around Nahan.
We visited Paonta Sahib gurudwara and spent couple of hours there, we started our journey back to Nahan in the evening and explored the beautiful local Nahan market at leisure in the late evening.
Please find below pics of day-3:
Beautiful morning of Nahan
Road leading to Paonta is in excellent condition nowadays
My Explorer-1 has enjoyed every moment on the way to Paonta
Pan view along the highway
Due to monsoon view was very scenic at some places
Ample parking space at gurudwara Paonta Sahib
Entrance gate of gurudwara Paonta Sahib
Main entry of gurudwara Paonta Sahib
