Lansdowne – beyond being the HQ of Garhwal Regiment

By AJAY SHARMA

Hastily, I tried to book some GMVN asset but in vain, with no rooms in either of the two properties available. We therefore, decided to reach early & search for alternate options. Being familiar with the roads & alternate routes, we soon reached at Monty’s Dhaba at Miranpur via Mawana as early as 9 am for a stopover & filling our tummy. It is one of the finest & elaborate resort kind of restaurant with plenty of space and a well-built dining area. The road so far is good enough to drive with ease in early hours.

Naukuchiatal – a comfortable weekend getaway with family

By Jatinder Sethi

While waiting for lunch, I walked around observing the tourists and what they were doing. While watching them, I was reminded of an old saying; When someone used to get sick or feeling “not well’, they used to be advised that “In ko Pahard per lay jao – AAB-O-HAWA badli karao” (Take them to the hills and give them a change of “Water & Air”)!

रंगीला पंजाब – चंडीगढ़ में एक दिन

By Pravesh

रॉक गार्डन एक अद्भुत कृति है जहाँ waste चीजों से इतने सारी और बहुत ही सुन्दर आकृतिया बनी हुई हैँ . श्री नेक चंद जी द्वारा बनाया गया ये गार्डन ४० एकड़ में फैला हुआ है। यहां ज्यादा तर आकृतियां वेस्ट बोतल, प्लेट, सिरेमिक टाइल्स इत्यादि से बनी हैं। इसके अलावा यहां एक मानव निर्मित झरना भी है।
सुखना झील तो चंडीगढ़ की सुंदरता को और भी बढ़ा देती है। झील के दूसरी तरफ दिखती शिवालिक पहाड़िया इसकी खूबसूरती में चार चाँद लगाती हैं। यहाँ पहुँच कर हमने बेटे को टॉय ट्रैन में घुमाया। झील में बोटिंग का प्रोग्राम बना ही रहे थे कि झमाझम बारिश शुरू हो गयी। एक बार शुरू हुई तो फिर रुकने का नाम ही नहीं लिया। वहां घूमने आये सभी लोग शेड के नीचे ही खड़े रहे और उस मौसम का आनंद लेते रहे।

Majestic Ladakh :: Hall of Fame and The Last Post

By Anupam Chakraborty

As we entered inside the museum we were briefed by an Army Personnel. This two storey museum is maintained by the Indian Army and divided into various sections for displays. A section of the ground floor portrays the facts, culture and history of Ladakh. It has a souvenir shop where you can get t-shitrs, coffee mugs, caps, pashnima shawls etc. Enthusiast may shoot photos in Ladakhi attire in the photo shop and take the print for a nominal charge. Finding no interest in it, we went to another section of the same ground floor. The walls here are occupied by the pictures of Kargil War 1999. It transported us to decades back. The displays on the walls gave us a vivid portrayal of how Indian Army fought the war.

रंगीला पंजाब – परिवार सहित अमृतसर यात्रा

By Pravesh

तभी ट्रैन चलने की घोषणा हुई और जल्दी ही ट्रैन रेंगने लगी। वाइफ और बेटा खिड़की से बाहर देखते रहे और मैं आँखें बंद कर दिन भर की प्लानिंग करने लगा। कुछ देर में शताब्दी की सेवाएं शुरू हुई. पानी की बोतल, अखबार और फिर चाय, इन सबके सोचा की थोड़ा सो लेंगे। पर तभी टीटी जी आ पहुंचे। उनको टिकट देखा कर निबटे तो देखा कि बेटा सो गया था। हमने भी आधा घंटा नींद ली की तभी ब्रेकफास्ट आ गया। पंजाब की यात्रा हो तो छोले कुल्चे से बेहतर कुछ नहीं इसलिए हमने भी वही खाया। हिलती हुई ट्रैन में चाय का कप भी हिल रहा था और बेटा इसे देख देख हंस रहा था। ब्रेकफास्ट कर के सोचा कि कुछ और सोया जाये पर ऐसा हुआ नहीं. ट्रैन अम्बाला पहुंची और छोटे साहब के प्रश्न फिर शुरू हुए। यहाँ से ट्रैन चलने के बाद मेरी कमेंटरी भी शुरू हुई. क्यूंकि बाकी दोनों का पहला ट्रिप था, इसलिए मैंने अपना ज्ञान भर भर के बंट. राजपुरा से पंजाब शुरू होने के बाद तो ये ज्ञान और बढ़ा. NH 1 साथ दौड़ती ट्रैन, दोनों और गेंहूँ से भरे हुई खेत और बादलों की लुकाछिपी, सचमुच बहुत ही अच्छा सफर था. कुछ देर में ट्रैन लुधिअना पहुंची। यहाँ भूख लगने लगी थी तो हमने अपने साथ लए हुई स्नैक्स की तरफ ध्यान दिया. लुधिअना से चलने के बाद सतलुज नदी का चौड़ा पाट आया. वाइफ हैरान थीं की इस नदी का पानी इतना सफ़ेद कैसे है जबकि यमुना तो बिलकुल अलग है। इसके बाद फगवाड़ा और फिर जलांधर आया. जालंधर पर ट्रैन काफी खाली हो गए थी। क्यूंकि अब बेटा फिर ऊँघने लगा था तो उसे एक ३ वाली खाली सीट पर लिटा दिया और वह जल्दी सो भी गया। हम दोनों भी १ झपकी लेने लगे. ब्यास पहुँचने से पहले ब्यास नदी के दर्शन हुए. खेतों में हरियाली बढ़ चुकी थी. अपने तय समय से २० मिनट लेट, ट्रैन अमृतसर पहुंची. स्टेशन पर टूरिस्ट्स और ख़ास तौर पर स्कूल ग्रुप्स की बहुत भीड़ थी। हमने टैक्सी बुक की हुई थी जो हमें वाघा बॉर्डर घुमा कर वापस होटल छोड़ने वाली थी।
