Kinnaur-The land of apples (Part 2)

By Sishir Mohammed

After about two and a half hours we reached Reckong Peo,or Peo, as it is popularly known. Peo is situated at an altitude of around 2200 metres above sea level and is at the base of the Kinner Kailash massif. From here, Kalpa was a short 20 minute drive and by lunch time we reached Kalpa. Our plan was to halt at the PWD rest house, which turned out to be a cottage with an excellent view of the mountains. Staying in Kalpa can be compared to living in the lap of nature. Overlooking the Kinner Kailash range, this is one of the most picturesque hill stations one can ever visit. This quaint town was once the headquarters of Kinnaur district before it was replaced by Reckong Peo. The collector’s office has now been taken over by the HP Irrigation Department while the old SP office is now a small police outpost. The old building of the District Hospital is visible behind the new building of a recently constructed Primary Health Centre. From Kalpa, one can spot the famous Shiva Linga, nestled in the middle of the Kinner Kailash massif. It is a 2 day trek from Kalpa for the strong and sturdy.

Kinnaur-The land of apples (Part 1)

By Sishir Mohammed

On day 3, before starting off for Sangla, we were in a dilemma on whether to make the short trip to Hatu peak or not. As we had to reach Sangla before it was dark, we decided to skip Hatu peak, which is about 8 KMs from Narkanda. Thus, we hit the NH22 directly and road conditions being good, we reached the town of Rampur in about 2 hours. We refuelled the Ertiga here and noted a mileage of 15-16 KM/Litre in hilly road conditions. After, Rampur, the highway, which was once known to the British as the Hindustan-Tibet road, leads you further on to Jeori before entering the district of Kinnaur at Chaura. After entering Kinnaur, the road, cut into sheer rock, rises steeply above the Satluj River. It follows the Satluj and is one of the most vertiginous roads in the whole country offering a spectacular view of rugged mountains.

दो धाम की यात्रा – यमुनोत्री और गंगोत्री

By Anand Bharti

तीसरे दिन हम लोग सुबह 6 बजे सोकर उठ गए अब हमारा अगला लक्ष्य यमुनोत्री पहुँचने का था . बरकोट से जानकी चट्टी की दूरी 41 किलोमीटर है. हमारा कार्य क्रम कुछ इस प्रकार का था की हम लोगों यमुनोत्री दर्शन कर शाम तक पुन बरकोट लौट आये. ताकि अगले दिन हम यहाँ से सीधे गंगोत्री के लिए प्रस्थान कर सके. इन बातो को ध्यान में रखते हुए हमने सुबह सात बजे ही बरकोट से रवानगी कर डाली. बरकोट से निकलते ही रास्ता बहुत ही ख़राब है क्योंकि यहाँ भी सड़क के चौडीकरण का काम चल रहा है. बरकोट से 15 किमी दूर गंगोनी नामक स्थान पर हमने सुबह का नाश्ता कर अपनी यात्रा जारी रखी. बरकोट से जानकी चट्टी का रास्ता बहुत अच्छा नहीं. एक तो रास्ता ख़राब दुसरे चढाई इसलिए समय भी ज्यादा लग रहा था. चारधाम यात्रा के चलते ट्रेफिक भी ज्यादा था. सयाना चट्टी पहुँचने से पहले हमें जाम में भी फँसना पड़ा. लगभग 1 घंटा जाम में हम लोग खड़े रहे. उत्तराखंड पुलिस यहाँ पर भी जाम क्लीअर करने में मुस्तैदी से लगी हुई थी. सयाना चट्टी पार करने के बाद राणा चट्टी नामक जगह आती यहाँ पर भी जाम लगा हुआ था. यहाँ से जैसे तैसे आगे बढे की हनुमान चट्टी में फिर जाम से रूबरू होना पड़ा. सारे जामों से जूझते हुए लगभग दो बजे के आस पास हम जानकी चट्टी पहुँच गए. जानकी चट्टी यमुनोत्री मंदिर जाने के लिए बसे कैंप है. यहाँ तक बसें, कारें आती है. बरकोट से यमुनोत्री के रास्ते में निम्नलिखित स्थान पड़ते है.

गंगनाणी (15 किमी), कुथूर (3 किमी), पाल गाड (9 किमी), सयानी चट्टी (5 किमी), राणाचट्टी (3 किमी), हुनमानचट्ट (3 किमी), बनास (2 किमी), फूलचट्टी (3 किमी पैदल चढ़ाई), जानकी चट्टी (5 किमी पैदल चढ़ाई), यमुनोत्री

Paradise on Earth- Jammu and Kashmir (Part 3)

By Sishir Mohammed

We passed the first town enroute – Ganderbal, within an hour. It was after Ganderbal that the real beauty of the drive commenced. After Ganderbal, the snow-capped Himalayas greeted us bang on. Every turn gave us panoramic new scenes, which always seemed to better than the previous one. Complimented by the untouched beauty of the Sindh River, the landscape was picture perfect.

Delhi – Patna road review

By Nandan Jha

Once you are out of Agra, the road gets a little better and traffic reduces. Press the pedal and hit Firozabad. This is the first city (after Agra) where you would start to feel the Mughal Era. Some of the old buildings could be still seen, the city is known for its bangles and glass work. There are these big tempting bangles showrooms which you need to pass quickly else a female fellow traveler’s urge makes you stop.
