Shri Gajanan Maharaj Shegaon / शेगांव- संत श्री गजानन महाराज दर्शन भाग 1 (स्थान परिचय एवं भौगोलिक स्थिति)

By Mukesh Bhalse

पिछले वर्ष अक्टुबर में श्रीसैलम ज्योतिर्लिंग तथा तिरुपति बालाजी की यादगार यात्रा के बाद बहुत समय से किसी यात्रा का योग नहीं बना था, इधर एक लम्बे अरसे महाराष्ट्र के विदर्भ क्षेत्र में स्थित संत श्री गजानन महाराज के पवित्र स्थान शेगांव के बारे में सुनते चले आ रहे थे और पिछले एक वर्ष से वहां जाने का मन बन रहा था, अंततः अपनी इस इच्छा को मूर्त रूप देने के प्रथम प्रयास के रूप में मैंने अपने परिवार के साथ शेगांव जाने के लिए अपने करीबी शहर महू से अकोला के लिए दिनांक 21 अक्टुबर का रेलवे का रिजर्वेशन करवा लिया।

Top 5 tips for Hongkong Disneyland

By shaguna

Hong Kong Disneyland opens at 10:30am but reaching early is advisable. It will give you chance to enjoy rides without any/long queue. It saves a lot of time later in the day as you are already through few rides before crowd starts pouring in. Use Hong Kong Disneyland App for choosing rides as soon as you enter. Selfie sticks & outside food or drinks are not allowed, so do not bring it with you.

Biking across Northern Thailand- Part 1

By Shrinidhi Hande

What was supposed to be a 400km ride turned out to be a late night biking expedition covering 530kms, as we rode 60+kms in wrong direction. All was well till noon, when we stopped for lunch at Mae Sariang. Post lunch, we should have taken Route 105, instead we continued on Route 108. A few display said this road heads to Chiang Mai and that didn’t ring a bell to any of us. Only later, our pilot Sumon pulled over, cross checked his map, consulted our support team (who had take right turn) and decided that we need to go back. Without a whim we rode back all the way to the city where we had lunch. We should have added another 200 curves to our count by then, because of this extra ride.

It was evening by now and we still had another 230kms to cover. We fuelled up and began riding, this time in the right direction.
Soon it became darker and suddenly, we found ourselves on dirt track. This feels like India- we told ourselves. Our speed dropped to single digit and we negotiated the bad road slowly, maintaining gap between bikes to let the dust settle. We were very close to Burma border, with our road running parallel to it. There were hardly any vehicles other than hours and there were no lights or shops or anything else. Pitch dark, deep forest and 100 more kms to go.

Enchanting Sikkim

By Mini Sarin

Sikkim is a state in East India in the Himalayan foot hills. We started our journey from Delhi, where we took Deccan Air flight to Bagdogra, which is the nearest airport to Gangtok and is around 4 hours drive. At the airport, we took a local cab service (that we had booked in advance), the driver was waiting for us at the airport and thus began our tour of the exasperating Himalayan abode.

केदारताल यात्रा- वापस दिल्ली के लिए

By Harish Bhatt

अगली सुबह हमारे कहने के मुताबिक होटल स्टाफ ने हमे पाँच बजे उठा दिया। नहा धो कर हम अपना सामन लेकर टैक्सी स्टैंड स्टैंड पहुँच गए। वहां ऋषिकेश के लिए जीप लगी हुई थिस लेकिन हम ही पहली सवारी थे। जब तक सवारी पूरी न हो जाये मतलब ही नहीं बनता की जीप चले। वहीँ एक टेम्पो ट्रवेलेर भी खड़ा था जो देहरादून जा रहा था। उसमे कई सवारियां बैठी हुई थी और उम्मीद थी की वो पहले चलेगा। ड्राइवर से बात की तो पता चला की पहले भी चलेगा और जितनी देर हमे ऋषिकेश पहुँचने में लगेगी उससे डेड घंटे पहले ही वो हमे देहरादून पंहुचा देगा। फिर सोचना क्या था, हम टेम्पो ट्रवेलेर में सवार हो गए और गाडी फुल होते ही देहरादून के ओर चल पड़े जहाँ से मुझे वापस दिल्ली की गाड़ी पकड़नी थी। केदारताल यात्रा लगभग समाप्त हो चुकी थी और ये मेरी सबसे यादगार यात्राओं में से एक रही…

केदारताल यात्रा – भोज खड़क – केदार खड़क – केदार ताल

By Harish Bhatt

19 जून 2017 – कपिल ने बताया की भोज खड़क से केदार खड़क के बीच दूरी ज्यादा नहीं है लेकिन रास्ता काफी दुर्गम है। पहले दो घंटे तो रास्ता कल जैसा ही खड़ी चढाई वाला था लेकिन कोई ख़ास परेशानी नहीं हुई। कुछ और आगे बढ़ने पर हम एक ऐसी जगह पर पहुंचे जहाँ पर कोई रास्ता ही नहीं था। भूस्खलन से रास्ता गायब हो गया था। अब हमे एकदम नीच केदार गंगा तक जाना था जहाँ से रास्ता ढूंढ़ने की कोशिश करनी थी। नीचे पहुँच कर समझ में आया की पानी में उतर कर ही आगे बड़ा जा सकता है। एक तरफ केदार गंगा का हड्डियों को जमा देने वाला पानी था और दूसरी तरफ ऊपर पहाड़ी से पत्थर गिर रहे थे।

केदारताल यात्रा – गंगोत्री से भोज खड़क

By Harish Bhatt

अगली सुबह यानि 18 जून 2017 को नींद तो छै बजे ही खुल गयी थी लेकिन ठण्ड के कारण रजाई से बहार निकलते निकलते सात बज गए। तब तक कपिल भी हमारे कमरे में आ गया और फटा फट सामान बांधने में हमारी मदद करने लगा। ठीक आठ बजे हम फॉरेस्ट ऑफिस पहुंचे और परमिट की एंट्री करवाई तथा कैंपिंग चार्जेज़ और गार्बेज चार्जेज़ जमा करवा के वापस अपने कमरे पे सामन उठाने पहुँच गए। ट्रेक शुरू करने से पहले फॉरेस्ट डिपार्टमेंट वाले गार्बेज चार्जेज लेते हैं जो की ट्रेक के दौरान आपके द्वारा फैलाये गए कूड़े कटकर के लिए होते हैं। ये चार्जेज रिफंडेबल होते हैं अगर आप ट्रेक से वापस आने के बाद अपना सारा कूड़ा वापस लेके आये हों तो। सारी तैयारियां पूरी होने के बाद हम अपने सफर पर निकल पड़े जो की सूर्य कुंड को पार करके शुरू से ही खड़ी चढाई से शुरू होता है।
