So I didn't do the sunrise hike. My stomach wasn't feeling well, and it doesn't seem safe walking in the dark here, plus the landscape here doesn't seem to provide a good sunrise view. Anyway, I did the hike later in the morning. The view was great. The hike was short but rocky. I can't believe my eyes when I saw a guy walking up with one leg and a stick.
After that I saw a horse dance competition, where horses dance to Indian drum beat and music.
I found out the fair actually has a schedule for all the events, which I didn't expect.
Other than the festival, the other main attraction of this place is the many ghats surrounding this Hindu holy lake. I tried to find the lake at first but couldn't, turns out the lake is almost completely dried up. It is so sad that once a beautiful place now is just a pile of mud. I don't know why, it's only November... ? There are man-made pools now replacing the lake. I can't believe some guy tried to force me to put flowers into the water!
I was planning to leave tomorrow morning, but turns out there is only a night bus to my next destination. Hope the ride is gonna be safe.
I guess putting flowers into river is some kind of religious ritual?
