The marchers set out from Jeolikote at 6 am and quickly covered the 18 kilometers to reach Nainital. Their energy was lifted as they approached the hills, giving the marchers a sense of being closer to Tibet. The marchers were welcomed to Nainital around noon by the Tibetan Community in Nainital who stood by the road waving Tibetan flags. The local Tibetan residents, from around 40 families, heartily welcomed the marchers with khatas. The marchers are staying at the Gomang Gaden Kunkyopling Monastery situated on top of a hill for the next 2 days, while they participate in orientation sessions, panel discussions, and a candlelight vigil.

The Tibetan Refugee Foundation, Regional TYC and TWA are hosting the marchers’ meals for the two-day stop in Nainital. The residents are taking very good care of all the marchers. Everyone is really enjoying the cooler weather in the hills.

Mr. A. Singh of Haldwani, a long time Tibet supporter who donated a large sum of money and food, came to visit the marchers again in Nainital after his visits at Haldwani and Jeolikote.
