I left home one hour earlier and started my Meet-Up approximately 40 minutes earlier as well so reached at very historical place Mandir Tomri Sahib, Badoki Gusaian which is just 1 km away from Ghakhar
When i reached at Madir Tomri Sahib, i saw there were 4 visitors already their, i introduced them and ask whether they use Google Maps but they all denied then i told about

Great meet up @Anonymous! You've described everything in a lot of detail and I really enjoyed reading the recap! You've taken many photos as well, 700 in 5 hours, it's crazy!! I'm sure it must have been hard to choose which ones to post here. And you've also visited many places and I'm sure your contributions were valuable for the map.
Regards from Buenos Aires 🙂
