Dharchula
Well, Dharchula, is in Dist Pithoragarh, in Uttrakhand state of India. This is not my native place, but my father is Posted here, in NHPC,
10 years ago we were in Chamba District, in Himachal Pradesh, 5 years ago we were in Kishtwar, in Dist Doda, which is in J&K.
and Currently here, in Dharchula.
Its a place near Nepal Border (I even go for a walk in Nepal, every evening)
The River is Called Kaali Nadi (Black River) which is counted as a border between India and Nepal. I took this Picture from India.
So the other Mountain is in Nepal.
Even the Roads are very dangerous, very small, steep and narrow. If any vehicle from the opposite side crosses, the other vehicle stops to let it go.
and believe me, you need to follow all the traffic rules, and if you wont, you’ll risk you life.
Here is a view of the Colony, where I live, Looks so beautiful, clean and peaceful.
This is the Google Earth Image of the Colony and the circled area is my Home.
This Colony has been build on a Dormant Volcano. Which is believe to be quite from 200 years.

Are there any volunteer(non-volunteer) organizations (other than goverment) that can help to find my friend? Any idea where the river become flat? Does it end in Nepal?
Thanks
