I have been wanting to go to Kas for almost 1.5 years now. Finally the D-day came in the 2nd week of October 2012. In this time after the monsoons - this valley is supposed to be full of flowers. Having seen some pics of the valley on the net - I was all for it.
The drive to Kas was very very scenic. While officially monsoons were over - we had not come out of the rains it seemed. So the route was green and verdant. We stopped at quite a few places to take many snaps.
When we reached Kas - we had to pay ticket fee of Rs 10/-. While they have said that one needs to book online - we found that many were like us - impromptu visitors. We were however annoyed to find that we had to park the car really far away from the entrance to the flowering area.
The car park area has many small tea shops and a walk to the back waters of the lake. No idea which lake this is though. After that - we did not think we would be able to walk all the way back in the light rain - so instead we drove the car back - parked out of the area of control and walked a short distance to the flowering area.
The day was foggy - so there were times we could not see more than 2 feet in front of us but still it was a different kind of scenery. We were disappointed that the flowers were not taller - especially after seeing the other snaps on the net but for all that - it was beautiful ! :)
